10 Jan 2025 CW Team

“We are very excited to add FIRSTGREEN’s innovative technologies to our offerings in North America,” said Jeff Keeling, vice president for sales and marketing at Brokk Inc. “Being electric and remote-controlled fits perfectly with our commitment to seeing operators safe in hazardous environments.”

Brokk Inc. will carry the full line of FIRSTGREEN products, including:

The MiniZ 400 — A compact, remote-controlled tracked loader. Small enough to fit through a standard doorway, the MiniZ 400 is ideal for interior demolition clean-up.

The Rockeat Line — Low-profile, cabinless, electric skid steers with a loading capacity up to 2,646 lbs. (1,200 kg).

The Elise Line — Compact, but large capacity machines that are battery operated and feature a cab.

The CBL Line — An Elise built cabinless for a lower profile and ideal for hazardous environments.

All FIRSTGREEN loaders feature lithium or lead-acid batteries that can last up to 6 hours of continuous use. Batteries can also be “hot swapped” to continue working with minimal downtime. Like Brokk, FIRSTGREEN offers a variety of attachments to ensure its machines are highly versatile workhorses that quickly generate a return on investment. Attachment options include a 4-in-1 bucket, concrete mixer, pallet forks, auger and more.

""We are thrilled to welcome Brokk Inc. as our newest partner with FIRSTGREEN Industries,” said Marcus Suess, chief operating officer for FIRSTGREEN Industries USA.“Brokk’s extensive experience and leadership in the industry align perfectly with our mission to drive innovation, safety and sustainability. Together, we look forward to delivering cutting-edge solutions that enhance efficiency and drive exceptional results.""

Brokk will showcase FIRSTGREEN at World of Concrete 2025. Visit booth C4519 to see and learn more about the products.
