Brokk 120: Remote-Controlled Robotic Vacuum Excavation
Brokk 120, is a cutting-edge, remote-controlled robotic arm that works in together with our vacuum excavation services to offer you a better solution for hazardous and hard to reach jobs. The Brokk 120 robotic arm offers unmatched flexibility and safety for excavation in hazardous and unstable environments.
The Brokk 120 is ideal for areas that are difficult to access or where safety is a concern. By connecting the suction hose from the vacuum excavator truck to the robotic arm, you can control the excavation process from a safe distance; without impacting precision, reducing the risk of exposure to dangerous working conditions. The Brokk 120 allows for precise manoeuvring and positioning of the hose, offering all the efficiency of a traditional vacuum excavation unit with the added benefit of remote control.
Key Features of the Brokk 120:
- Robotic Arm Operation: Fully remote-controlled for safe operation in hazardous or unstable environments.
- Wireless Control: Operate the Brokk 120 from a safe distance using SmartRemote™, providing complete control over the excavation process.
- Compatible with Vacuum Excavator Trucks: Connects directly to the vacuum excavator truck for optimal suction power and efficiency.
- Compact and Mobile: The Brokk 120 is highly manoeuvrable, capable of working in confined spaces, and can be used in areas where larger machinery may not fit.
- Perfect for Hazardous Areas: Ideal for unstable ground or hazardous conditions, allowing you to maintain a safe distance from potential dangers.
Vacuum excavation eliminates the risks involved in damaging underground utilities. While previous methods of digging with hand tools and excavators could harm the utilities, even leading to severe injury and death, vacuum excavation using suction technology offers extreme precision, effectively removing the risk.
This leads to a safer site with the use of Utility Site Solutions equipment. Using a vacuum excavator is much less invasive than traditional methods whilst offering a lower cost with a higher level of precision, so not only is it safer but it’s also far more effective!
Vacuum excavation allows you to complete jobs faster than manual digging, resulting in reduced disturbance to businesses, residents, and essential services. This is especially useful for projects in built-up urban areas where prolonged noise pollution could be an issue.
As well as being the safest and most economical form of utility excavation, vacuum excavation is a greener alternative to traditional methods. In the same way that the precision of the equipment protects utilities, we can also use the accuracy of our vacuum excavators to allow us to remove the ground between trees with minimal disruption. Additionally, by using vacuum technology, less equipment is required and therefore, we are drastically reducing the amount of dust being released into the air whilst also decreasing the carbon footprint on your project.
The unique power and precision of these vacuum excavation vehicles provides the ability to work at many distances and depths and is suitable for even the most sensitive applications and environments.
To summarise, the benefits of vacuum excavation include eliminating the hazard of underground utility strikes, minimising traffic disruption, lowering reinstatement costs, and reducing the manpower and equipment needed for each job!
Several different industries can benefit from vacuum excavation including railways, civil works, highways, power plants, waterworks, gas and power power utilities, construction, and telecoms.

FAQ's
What is the Brokk 120?
The Brokk 120 is a powerful, compact robotic arm designed to attach to a vacuum excavator truck, offering remote control. This is ideal when you need more flexibility and safety during excavation work, especially in locations where manual operation may be too risky or difficult.
The Brokk 120 is fully wireless, allowing operators to control it from a distance, keeping them away from potential hazards. While similar to the T-VAC 2 in its ability to perform excavation work in hard-to-reach locations, the main difference is that the Brokk 120 works in tandem with a vacuum excavator truck, meaning it relies on the truck for suction and power, while the T-VAC 2 is a standalone unit.
Is the Brokk 120 easy to operate?
Yes, the it is designed for ease of use with its remote control system. The SmartRemote™ feature offers smooth, intuitive operation, making it simple to manoeuvre the robotic arm and suction hose even in challenging environments.
Can the Brokk 120 be used in all weather conditions?
Do I need to provide a vacuum excavator truck to use the Brokk 120?
The Brokk 120 requires a vacuum excavator truck for suction, the robotic arm is connected to the truck via the suction hose, which provides the power needed for excavation. Utility Site Solutions provides both the Brokk 120 and the necessary vacuum excavation trucks for a seamless operation.

Why Choose the T-VAC 2?
The T-VAC 2 is an ideal choice for challenging excavation tasks because it offers: Access to Tight Spaces: Perfect for urban projects and areas where larger trucks can’t reach. Off-Road Access: With its robust tracked undercarriage, the T-VAC can work in difficult terrains, from remote sites to rural locations. Flexible Operation: The manual suction hose arm provides more flexibility and control, giving operators the ability to manoeuvre the hose as needed for precise excavation.
Brokk 120 Hire: Industry Application
The Brokk 120 is ideal for projects where safety, flexibility, and remote operation are vital. Key applications include:
- Hazardous Environments: Excavation in areas with unstable ground or where exposure to dangerous conditions is a concern.
- Urban Excavation: Works well in tight spaces, where access to traditional vacuum excavation trucks may be limited.
- Utility Repairs: Ideal for working around existing infrastructure without disrupting surrounding areas.
- Construction and Demolition: Effective in confined spaces on construction sites, especially when traditional methods are impractical.
