Husqvarnas Strange new equipment & power tools at World of Concrete & Con expo 2020 4 k video

This Video may get me permanently banned from Husqvarna booths. Husqvarna has new heavy equipment and power tools released at World of concrete. Remote controlled Robotic excavators designed for Demolition, concrete saws, improvements to their compaction equipment and more.

[@TheM16fan]

The companies I know that have a husqvarna demolition robot are really happy with them. Because what they said you can do the work from a 4 ton excavator with a 2 ton demolition robot at the size of 2 ton excavator without emissions. But I don't think this was made made for the American market where everything is big, but for the European market where almost everything is small and they have to work in confined spaces!! Note: I live in the Netherlands.

[@SakariNy]

Yeah this looks like an useful tool for specific applications to me. It's going to be less universal than an similiar priced excavator, but it has its uses. Also good point that US market is different. For good example of that check out HIAB (truck-mounted crane) product line in europe and USA. Completely different products, and even completely different kind of product categories.

[@MrDarkwave666]

I work with both demolition and concrete cutting/core drilling as well as grinding concrete floors, and we have several of those robots in different sizes. They are just amazing, works good for bashing floors and walls with the hammer, or using the concrete crusher, but also works well when riping up old carpets and wood floors or loading out material with a bucket. But I must say those guys demoing them were completely useless, at least in showing what those machines really can do.

[@ericpurcell9984]

MrDarkwave666 could you potentially send me a video of you/your crew using one in whatever setting or job you normally use them for. Curious, not saying what you’ve said can’t be done. Tks

[@rweissrock]

@@ericpurcell9984 I got a few jobs where brokk machines where used, they look similar in size and they are really good machines you have a lot of power on your attachement, it's for really specific works like demo inside buildings. We used it to remove stone flooring in a church and we really where happy with it.

[@markchickenbutt8740]

It definitely seems more useful in a European use, 3 phase power is much more common there.

[@TomTom-by5sx]

That's the worst demonstration I've ever seen. And the price is obscene.

[@tommywood2983]

Ya man always be straight never say something that's not true for a dollar! I give you props for being a true man! God Bless

[@slowcheetah24]

These machines work great. I saw one used inside of a 9 story building for demo and excavating elevator pits. The tool is only as good as the user!

[@minimxnut]

There are cities like New York City where you’re not allowed to use heavy equipment for demolition over 2 stories. So they hand demo a sky scraper & use Demolition robots like this or a Brokk Robot to demolish the roof deck throw everything down the elevator shaft or lift full 20 yard dumpsters of concrete off of the skyscraper roof with a crane down to the street and then they drop the robot & skid steers down one floor with a crane cut up all the steel and move down a floor. Northstar Demolition sometimes gets up to $3 million a floor to hand demo it and do it that way in the city. They and others have done many 75 story buildings that way. There is a need for this type of unit, just not in your type of operation.

[@landworks3818]

minimxnut This is exactly it. They wouldn’t be making these robots, spending insane amounts of money on R and D if there wasn’t a market for them. I don’t see why that’s so hard for some people to understand.

[@minimxnut]

Landworks I agree 100%. People that don’t know anything about the Demolition business shouldn’t comment. We are a licensed AsBesto’s Abatement and demolition contractor in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania and have been in business for 34 years.

[@jab2359]

I have not seen the husqvarna machines in play but have done projects with a similar machine called a Brokk. They are worth every penny. The Brokk 150 has the most powerful breaker I have even seen on a machine and with zero operator fatigue. We put it on a roof to demolish concrete sawtooth frames over a high end data center where the high priority was to make sure the roof was water tight every night. One man broke all the concrete while the rest of the crew hauled it away. I’ve put one in an old elevator shaft and run them in buildings. They are a niche machine but they shine in specialty demolition. The concrete nibbler was perfect to remove an old concrete structure where excessive noise and vibration was problematic so the ability to break with out the hammering of a typical breaker was more imply than speed. The problem is when you have a guy who has never seen a construction site trying to rep construction equipment. Poor kid had no clue what he was doing or talking about!

[@Mattie_LIGHT]

I was at the world of concrete this year too (as a mason). Overall is was a good show!

[@DanielSvensson666]

Great video. About the robot, sure I agree it is very expensive. But I think there are many applications where it can do better than excavators. Also, Husqvarna canbe pretty expensive but you also get quality. Hell, I have a very old and very used chainsaw from them that I love. It justt keeps on going and cutting trees like it was brand new. And it keeps starting SO easy, it's starting better than most other brands I have tried and it starts just as easy no matter if it is cold or hot outside. But yeah, I can agree that the demonstration of the robot didn't exactly make it look its best. But I think you'll be fine and not be banned.

[@spreaddeezhazelnutz7511]

That 970 sounded so damn healthy.

[@KB-bs4ct]

After watching this and thinking about it for a while I have made my opinion. The representatives are not familiar with equipment. Probably a last-minute standin. Electric with remote control, should be good for interior and types of hazardous work. Where you can't get an excavator in due to exhaust, size, or risk to operator.

[@2point2]

Stan. I rented a walk-behind wacker last summer that had a compaction indicator. It was my first time compacting. I guess for about 5 seconds it was useful in teaching me what compacted ground feels like. Nice thing was that you could visually tell which areas were more compacted that others. I guess its only useful for a weekend warrior who's never handled a walk-behind.

[@conmanumber1]

Absolutely bullshit that Husky is first. Here in New Zealand In the mid 1990s Swedala Dynapac had compaction meters on their Deutz engined compactors. Not long after we have the German Weber Mt which has them .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmWrdGCLbJVraLM

Let’s see the DeWalt.

[@tigerbatman7881]

DeWalt is junk

[@triumphovertragedy7860]

[@Shiznoo]

I saw the 300 on a job...and it was VERY quick and powerful. Cut Ten inch thick pedestrian bridge like butter

[@vrstepper1204]

I have seen these kind of machines in several restauration jobs here in Sweden. They are so small that they can be used inside old forts and castles to clear up old rooms or pathways that are hazardous.

[@ryanbruckhart1284]

165000 dollars for that excavator! 5 men with large sledgehammers are 10 times faster, they say time is money so avoid that machine you guys in the concrete world if you want a paycheck. Nice idea but bad margins they won’t sell it is my opinion

[@treadlightlyservicesllc.1930]

I have personally used the Husqvarna HYDRAULIC version of the Ring saw, and let me tell you it takes you longer to go rent the saw and return it then it does to cut an egress window there is no other tool that I will use to cut egress windows from this point forward.

[@SKC640]

"Husqvarna doesn't make a 2-stroke engine anymore" video cuts to next tool with a two stroke engine! Lmao

[@SKC640]

@Tony Humbert yes I get that but he should have been a little more specific he never said that in general he just automatically assumed people would know. And I found it pretty funny that he said Husqvarna doesn't make two stroke engines anymore and then boom the next clip is a 2-stroke engine lol

[@ThaGreatestAlexander]

he said “we dont make a two stroke” specifically talking about jumping jacks. and its a honda motor aswell he said. you are reading too far into that statement

[@dancarlin5434]

I can see some good future use of the robots if this pandemic plays out any longer, do construction work from your home PC.....

[@dennisolsen4507]

Can't argue with the consensus on the "excavator", but the only chainsaws I'll buy are Husqvarna.

[@StevenCampbell1955]

I am a big fan of Husky tools. That double bladed chasing saw is the duck's ....s. I was impressed with that ring saw too for the depth of cut available, but I have never used a ring saw to compare . Peck, peck, pecker robot would come into its own inside a building with high hazzrads, say radiation, chemical fumes, etc. That hands-off Whacker-Packer would be easy on the arms too and probably wouldn't run away like the ones we have at work. Keep up these excelent videos. ( Your wife seemed to be enjoying the demonstration day too. She should be making more appearances so we don't have to listen to you so much......)

[@Dirtmonkey]

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate all the support !

[@thmm84]

I run a dxr300 it is a beast of a machine. And yes when the rep mentioned the frequency of the beats per minute destroys concrete he is not lying. The crusher jaw is kinda lame and is alittle slow paced but rarely used. It will drag isn’t self around a job due to the weight but it is kept low as they can so it can be taken up freight elevators. We have taken the arm off and pushed the unit in 2 pieces though hospitals for demo work. It is great an has it uses.

[@ThaGreatestAlexander]

That excavator is definitely a specialty tool for commercial and industrial applications when clients have specific requests or certain limitations on the job. I also agree i don’t think that operator had much experience to really tear apart the block quickly. but ive never had the opportunity to run one or see one run.

[@DVeck89]

That little remote excavator demo bot thing is probably geared more towards European markets where human labor is more expensive and safety standards are even higher than in the US so any time companies have a shot at minimizing human involvement and exposure and risk, it makes more sense to them to do than for US companies.

[@DocRorshack]

I dig the wall chainsaw...and that channel cutter I could find a use for laying conduit in a deck...btw, nice hat. Yes please, do Dewalt.

[@Knallteute]

I really like this typs of machines for indoor use. You don't have the exhaust fumes and all it's nice and small so you can get into corners. It's a specialized machine and should be advertised as such. 160k is a bit much but for the right job it's propably worth it. Maybe you look at companies like Wacker-Neuson who specialize in this type of equipment.

[@johnfloyd3491]

I like seeing all the videos you create it gives a lot of knowledge on the equipment it’s coming out to help us contractors

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for watching John!

[@IppiopaidFEEDBACK]

The Cut and break is a great tool for installing basement windows. But installing basement windows sucks, because you have to put up with the noise, the smell of the exhaust, all the water or the dust. That Ring saw, I didn’t know they sold in the US. But I have to say the concrete chainsaw have to be my favorite, never used it but the concept is so cool

I love husqvarna stuff . but there is some things that they need to pay attention to. it's good to keep big companies on there feet literally.. husqvarna you got to hand it to them they realy like to make the best thats out there. that's where we come into play. lol. good job. I love anything husqvarna.

[@miklosbiro]

We demolished the upper 6 floors of a tower building with two of these machines. We put them up with a crane and they slowly chew up the floors from top to down as long as high reach demolition machines could reach up. They are wonderful pieces of equipment.

[@ryanroberts1104]

I find the orange Home Depot buckets ironic, considering Husqvarna is a Lowe's brand...

[@kctyphoon]

Love this guys house... as far as the demo robots - find another machine that will fit inside a freight elevator.. big advantage for cities. The price is the price I’m sure - simply cause they dont many and it would be hard to to replace what they might be able to do for some situations. The operator is probably also going slow from inexperience and also trying to make his barrier last as long as possible.

[@ilovegodverymuch8791]

[@prusso__4491]

The husqvarna is a knock off of the brokk. I run them all the time, yes they are super expensive. But you can put it into a confined space without putting your operator in harm's way. The hammer is a much better attachment. There is alot of double sticking with the bucket cause of the 4th cylinder.

[@joesabia4599]

I used it on a very intricate demo job, sent to us as a demo promotion thankfully!!! If I kept on rental it would have cost about 10 k a week! Bottom line is you need to be a video game freak to run the controls or have at least 3 day’s of practice with an instructor. We had a hammer attachment on ours up on the third floor of a heavily bricked commercial building with neighboring residential properties extremely close to us, and if the boom was to the side and you changed the control format and accidentally touched the outrigger controls it would want to tip over!! Scary!! I sent it back and continued by hand I have a video that I can try to send along with this reply

Complete waste of money! I guess it could be used to remotely load virus victims into the portable crematoriums? I have used similar equipment in a parking structure with a boring & demo hammer attachment to drill new footings in a existing low ceiling areas! They just used it in a bad example! The concrete chain saw is a great idea and this appears to have a longer bar than the older ones that would not go deep enough for my use. They do make some powerful good tools! The person running the compactor on a job site is "usually" the lowest paid and compaction is the most important starting point of the project, so anything that help you pass your scheduled compaction tests keep you on schedule? Just my experience in low bid construction! Cheaper Faster Better?
