A Bobcat excavator for demolition applications is on show at this week’s Demolition 2016 event in Orlando, USA.

The DriveRobotics upgrade kit means that users of Bobcat excavators can tackle demanding jobs faster, more safely and at lower cost.

It allows the operator to use a standard Bobcat excavator remotely, and according to the company provides new capabilities previously only available on expensive, dedicated demolition robots.

The kit is also said to offer advantages in productivity, safety and versatility, by distancing the operator from hazardous environments and reducing the cost of personal protective equipment.

DriveRobotics works with all standard Bobcat attachments.
