Brokk Inc. named dealer for SHERPA mini loaders

Brokk Inc. is now a dealer for SHERPA mini loaders. Brokk offers two electric models, the SHERPA Z10 and Z20, which make perfect cleanup partners for electric Brokk robots. The mini loaders are a good addition to equipment fleets that require a compact, emission-free solution.

“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 Inc. “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 labor and implementing electric solutions for the whole demolition process, from breaking to cleanup.”

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 up to six continuous hours. Weighing in at 2,072 pounds with standard tires, it is well suited for working on hard surfaces, such as concrete or stone.

For projects that require more power and less weight, Brokk Inc. offers the SHERPA Z20. The SHERPA Z20’s 13.5 kWh lithium-ion battery reduces its weight to 1,730 pounds and can work continuously up to six hours — or eight if it’s charged during a one-hour period, such as a lunch break. Its lower weight means it can be transported in an elevator and it is well suited for low floor loads.

Both models have two gears — higher speed for covering 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 optimized for worker health and safety. The operator stands in an ergonomic position with controls within hand’s reach to prevent awkward stances that cause strain. Both models are equipped with an adjustable footplate and hip protection.

Like Brokk, the SHERPA mini loaders can be equipped with attachments, such as various standard bucket sizes, 4-in-1 bucket and pallet forks, for maximum versatility.
