Husqvarna has introduced its smallest and lightest remote-controlled demolition robot, the DXR 95. This machine is designed for indoor work in confined spaces.
The DXR 95 weighs 589kg and has a 9.8kW (13.1hp) engine. The machine's dimensions (length / width / height) are: 1,5 / 0,9 / 0,8 м. The DXR 95 can therefore be transported to the job site in a conventional Ford Transit class van. Travelling on the construction site is provided by Caterpillar rubber tracks.
It can negotiate gradients of up to 30 degrees and has a reach of about 3.04 metres with a hydraulic hammer.

Husqvarna says the DXR 95 is suitable for a wide range of applications, from chimney removal to breaking rock underground, as well as "fragile, steep or unstable environments where there is a risk of collapse, falling debris, high vibration or dust. It comes with a range of attachments including a concrete crusher, two hydraulic hammers, several buckets, a grapple and a drum milling machine.
The manufacturer claims that the DXR 95 can run continuously at high temperatures without overheating thanks to a powerful cooling system.

The DXR 95 remote control is worn on the shoulder straps and is easy to use. It is battery powered and can be supplied with a second battery to provide 24-hour operation. The remote control can be charged in the vehicle using a combined AC/DC charger. The robot can be controlled up to 300 metres away. Operators can remotely set operating parameters to suit the working conditions, as well as adjust the hydraulic system pressure to suit the installed tool.
Husqvarna says the DXR 95 chassis has a robust design and enhanced protection for critical components. These are positioned to allow easy access for maintenance. The robot is equipped with a digital oil filter clogging monitoring system and LED lights to illuminate the workspace.
