Brokk offers more emission-free solutions with SHERPA mini loaders

Brokk, the North American distributor for Brokk demolition robots and Aquajet Hydrodemolition equipment, is now a dealer for SHERPA mini-loaders. 

Brokk will offer two electric models, the SHERPA Z10 and Z20, that can be partnered with electric Brokk robots for easy job site cleanup. The mini loaders are ideal for equipment fleets that require a compact, emission-free solution.

The Z10 and Z20 mini loaders 

Both models are 30 inches wide and easily fit through a standard doorway. The SHERPA Z10 features a 9.6-kWh lead-acid battery that can work for up to six continuous hours. Weighing in at 2,072 pounds with standard tires, it is suited for working on hard surfaces like concrete and stone.

For projects that require more power and less weight, Brokk offers the SHERPA Z20. The 13.5-kWh lithium-ion battery reduces the machine's weight to 1,730 pounds and can work continuously for up to six hours — or eight if it's charged during a one-hour period, like during a lunch break. 

The lower weight of the machine means it can be transported in an elevator and can be used for low-floor loads. 

Both models have two gears — higher speed for covering the ground and lower speed for more precise maneuvering or when the operator needs to save battery or use extra lifting power.

The Z10 and Z20 are ergonomically enhanced for worker health and safety. The operator is meant to stand in an ergonomic position with controls within hand's reach to help prevent awkward stances that cause strain. Both models are equipped with an adjustable footplate and hip protection.

SHERPA offers electric solutions for contractors 

"We are pleased to offer SHERPA electric mini loaders to the North American market," said Jeff Keeling, vice president of sales and marketing at Brokk. 

"SHERPA is a well-established manufacturer that has offered innovative products for decades. Pairing a Brokk demolition robot with a SHERPA mini loader will benefit our customers by reducing manual labour and implementing electric solutions for the whole demolition process, from breaking to clean up."
