5. Demolition Robots Fitted with Vanguard Battery Packs for Cable-Free Movement

Advanced Robotic Engineering (ARE) range of mobile industrial demolition robots will be powered with the Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 48V Si1.5kWh swappable and 48V Fi3.5kWh fixed battery packs.

For many years, onsite workers are said to have struggled with needing their demolition machines to be cable powered when moving from one site to another, while one operator controlled the machine, another assisted on navigating the cable.

As a consequence, moving machines was not only complicated and time consuming, but also required the involvement of several people at the job site. A disaster in an industry where uptime is everything and the reduction of total cost of ownership crucial.
