Brokk, the world's leading manufacturer of remote-controlled demolition machines, has hired Taylor Chatterton as a service technician. His position serves the West Coast, where he will also provide training and jobsite assessments for Brokk and Aquajet customers. Our customers on the West Coast now have access to a dedicated service technician for both Brokk and Aquajet products, said Lars Lindgren, president of Brokk, Inc.Taylor brings unique experience as someone who has been both an operator and mechanic during these heavy equipment projects. As an operator of heavy equipment, he knows what types of challenges our customers are facing. This allows him to help them decide on the best machine for the job while also providing onsite service for our machines. Chatterton, based in Monroe, Washington, will provide service for rental customers as well as on-site service and support for Brokk and Aquajet machines. He will also provide basic training to operators, including showing them the machine capabilities, how to operate the Brokk and how to complete routine maintenance items. Chatterton will consult with operators to assess jobsite conditions and make recommendations on machines, attachments and other equipment for the job. Chatterton's background involves operating and maintaining equipment in the mining, demolition and construction industries. This experience directly applies to Brokk machines, which are often used in the same industries for the same jobs. Brokk customers face some of the most challenging jobs in their industries, Chatterton said. Brokk and Aquajet have some of the most cutting-edge technology on the market, which makes these jobs easier and safer. I'm excited to help train operators on their machines and offer service and support to maximize our customers uptime.
