Husqvarna DXR 305 Review: Price, Specs & Verdict

Husqvarna DXR 305: Quick Buyer Verdict

The DXR 305 should be evaluated as a compact remotely operated demolition machine, not as an autonomous construction robot. Its commercial value comes from putting substantial hydraulic tool power into areas that are difficult for conventional excavators while allowing the operator to control the machine from a safer position.

Pros

• Very high demolition capability for its physical size.
• Approximately 78 cm width gives it unusually good indoor accessibility.
• 27 kW rated input power and 85 l/min maximum hydraulic flow.
• 5.2 m upward reach without moving to the larger DXR 315.
• Remote operation can increase operator separation from dust, falling debris, heat and vibration.
• Large range of dedicated hydraulic tools.
• Individually controlled outriggers provide a large support footprint during work.
• Multiple factory packages adapt the machine to demanding industrial and high-temperature environments.
• Electric operation produces no direct exhaust emissions at the point of use.

Cons

• Approximately 2,050 kg before the attachment is significant for suspended slabs, elevators and internal transport.
• Not autonomous: productivity still depends heavily on operator skill.
• Requires suitable electrical infrastructure and cable management.
• A complete demolition package can cost far more than the base machine once attachments and deployment costs are included.
• Remote operation reduces exposure but does not remove falling-object, silica, structural-collapse or exclusion-zone hazards.
• Projects with plenty of access may be more economical with a conventional excavator.
• The DXR 315 offers more reach for a relatively modest increase in machine weight.

Our recommendation: shortlist the DXR 305 when your project requires heavy demolition power but access, emissions, operator exposure or machine dimensions make a conventional excavator difficult. Validate the complete machine-plus-tool configuration on the actual access route and structure before purchase. See the Husqvarna DXR 305 listing at Anton Robots for the product overview and buying options.

How Much Does the Husqvarna DXR 305 Cost in 2026?

Husqvarna’s U.S. website currently lists the North American DXR 305 P1 configuration at US$252,947. This is the most useful current public price reference we found, but it should not be treated as a universal worldwide purchase price. Husqvarna’s Australian and international product pages use a quote-based sales process, and final pricing depends on region, configuration, attachments, dealer support and commercial terms.

The U.S. figure is also for a specific P1 North American variant, rather than evidence that every standard DXR 305 costs US$252,947.

Attachments materially change the budget

Current U.S. Husqvarna pricing illustrates the point. At the time of this review, the U.S. product page lists the SB 302 breaker from US$26,621, the MG 200 grapple from US$23,495, the SB 202 breaker from US$17,020 and a DXR bucket at US$3,872.

Those are U.S. list references rather than global delivered prices, but they show why comparing only the base machine price is misleading.

A better way to budget

Request two figures from the supplier:

1. Minimum viable deployment cost: the DXR 305, required tool, power arrangement, training and everything needed to complete the first production job.
2. Three-year ownership cost: machine, attachments, wear parts, service, training, transport, electrical infrastructure, downtime and expected utilisation.

For current availability and regional pricing, review the DXR 305 at Anton Robots before requesting a project-specific quotation.

What Is the Husqvarna DXR 305?

The Husqvarna DXR 305 is a tracked, electrically powered, remotely controlled demolition robot designed for heavy hydraulic demolition in compact spaces.

Despite the word “robot,” it does not autonomously identify structures and demolish them. A trained operator controls movement, stabilisation, arm positioning and the demolition attachment using the remote-control system.

Its key proposition is simple: bring excavator-like hydraulic demolition capability into environments where putting a conventional excavator—or its operator—is difficult.

What the DXR 305 is

• A professional remote-controlled demolition machine.
• A carrier for hydraulic breakers, crushers, shears, grapples and other demolition tools.
• A compact machine designed to work through normal building access routes.
• A way to place more distance between the operator and some demolition hazards.
• An electric alternative for projects where direct diesel exhaust emissions are undesirable.
• A platform for selective demolition, refurbishment and industrial work.

What the DXR 305 is not

• It is not autonomous.
• It is not battery powered.
• It is not a substitute for engineering assessment of a structure.
• It does not eliminate demolition dust or silica exposure.
• It does not eliminate the need for exclusion zones and collapse planning.
• It is not automatically the cheapest choice where a conventional excavator has unrestricted access.
• It is not a general-purpose mobile robot for logistics, inspection or material transport.

If you are comparing the category rather than a specific model, see Anton Robots’ guide to demolition robots and the wider construction robot category.

Husqvarna DXR 305 Specifications

The current Husqvarna product pages list the following headline specifications for the DXR 305. Actual machine mass and operating limits depend on factory package, attachment and regional configuration.

Configuration weight matters

The current international Husqvarna page lists four DXR 305 factory configurations at approximately:

• Standard: 2,050 kg
• P1 – extended hydraulic function and cylinder protection: 2,070 kg
• P2 – enhanced cooling: 2,075 kg
• P3 – heat protection: 2,195 kg

Do not build the lifting plan, elevator plan or slab assessment around a generic “DXR 305 weight.” Use the weight of the exact machine configuration plus its installed attachment and any other equipment carried with it.

Why older specifications may look different

Some DXR documentation and older listings show different machine weights or configuration details. This can reflect model revisions, tracks, regional specifications or accessory packages. For procurement, use the current product specification and the serial-number-specific documentation supplied with the quoted machine.

Demolition Power and Performance

The DXR 305 sits in an interesting part of the demolition market: it delivers 27 kW of rated input power and up to 85 l/min hydraulic flow while remaining narrow enough to pass through many ordinary door openings.

Husqvarna describes the DXR 305 combined with the SB 302 breaker as having the highest power-to-weight ratio in its class. That is a manufacturer comparison rather than an independent industry benchmark, but the underlying specifications do explain why the machine is attractive for constrained demolition.

Why power-to-size matters

A conventional excavator may deliver more total capability, but it also needs enough access, floor capacity, ventilation and operating space. A compact demolition robot changes the equation when:

• The working area is inside an existing building.
• Access is through doors or narrow corridors.
• The structure cannot accept a much heavier excavator.
• Direct diesel exhaust emissions are undesirable.
• The operator should be positioned away from the immediate demolition point.
• Precision matters because part of the structure must remain.

Breaker performance

The most aggressive standard pairing is the SB 302 hydraulic breaker. Husqvarna currently publishes:

• 610 J impact energy.
• 299 kg standard attachment weight.
• 80 l/min maximum hydraulic oil flow.
• 460 mm tool width.

This is the attachment that most clearly demonstrates why the DXR 305 is more than a small remote carrier. It can bring a substantial breaker into spaces where normal demolition plant may be impractical.

Power is not the same as productivity

Real output depends on considerably more than the motor rating. Concrete strength, reinforcement, tool selection, operator skill, working angle, reach, debris removal, power quality, dust controls and how frequently the machine must reposition can all dominate production rate.

For a buyer, the useful metric is therefore not “27 kW.” It is:

How many productive tonnes, square metres or task units can this exact machine-tool combination complete per shift on our material and site?

That should be answered with a demonstration or trial on representative material whenever the economics are important.

Reach, Access and Stability

The DXR 305’s biggest competitive advantage may be the combination of its dimensions rather than any one specification.

At roughly 78 cm wide, Husqvarna positions it as able to pass through normal doorways, yet it still provides a published 5.2 m upward reach.

That opens applications inside multi-storey buildings, industrial rooms, refurbishment sites and other spaces that were never designed for full-size demolition equipment.

Outriggers are central to the design

The DXR 305 uses individually controlled outriggers that expand the machine’s support footprint during demolition. This improves stability when applying tool forces away from the centre of the tracked base.

The important buyer distinction is between:

• Transport envelope: how small the machine can become to reach the work area.
• Working envelope: the space needed to deploy outriggers, rotate the arm and safely operate the tool.

A machine fitting through the door does not prove that it can work effectively once inside the room.

Check the complete access route

Before deployment, survey:

• Door widths and heights.
• Corridor widths and turning areas.
• Ramps and thresholds.
• Floor openings and temporary works.
• Lift dimensions and certified lift capacity.
• Suspended-slab capacities.
• Stairs or changes in level.
• Space required to deploy the outriggers.
• Escape and recovery routes.
• Access for removing demolition debris.

A DXR 305 that can physically enter a building but cannot be safely supported at the demolition position is not a viable deployment.

Remote Control and Operator Experience

Remote operation is one of the DXR 305’s fundamental advantages. Husqvarna’s current remote-control system uses a professional radio link with a published range of up to approximately 300 m under suitable conditions.

That number should not be interpreted as a recommendation to demolish something from 300 metres away without visibility.

The operating position still needs to provide the operator with sufficient understanding of the machine, tool, structure and surrounding risk area.

What remote control actually changes

It can allow the operator to move away from:

• Falling fragments and immediate collapse zones.
• Breaker vibration.
• Some of the highest dust concentrations.
• Heat near industrial processes.
• Confined spaces.
• Areas where machine noise makes close operation unpleasant.

But the operator remains responsible for the work. Remote control transfers the control station; it does not automate demolition judgement.

Live machine information

The current DXR platform provides operating information to the user, including machine status and parameters relevant to operation and troubleshooting. This helps an operator understand machine condition without physically standing beside the unit.

Operator skill remains a major variable

A skilled demolition operator is deciding continuously:

• Where to attack the structure.
• What tool angle will transfer force effectively.
• How much material can be safely removed.
• When the machine should reposition.
• How far outriggers can be loaded.
• Whether falling material could strike the machine.
• When a different attachment would be more productive.

For ROI calculations, do not assume a new operator immediately achieves the productivity of an experienced DXR crew.

Husqvarna DXR 305 Attachments and Demolition Tools

A DXR 305 is best understood as a hydraulic tool carrier. The attachment determines what the machine actually does.

Husqvarna’s current DXR tool range covers breaking, crushing, steel cutting, sorting, excavation and surface removal.

SB 302: maximum breaking capability

For many buyers, the SB 302 is the headline attachment. Its 610 J published impact energy and 299 kg weight make it a serious breaker while remaining matched to the DXR 305 hydraulic system.

It is the logical choice when breaking performance is the main reason for purchasing the machine.

DCR 300: controlled concrete demolition

The DCR 300 is more interesting where noise, vibration or precision make continuous hammering less desirable.

Husqvarna publishes a 430 mm maximum jaw opening, 45 tonnes of crushing force and 143 tonnes of cutting force. The manufacturer states that it can demolish concrete walls up to 400 mm thick under appropriate conditions.

Crushing also gives the operator more control over how concrete is fragmented than an impact breaker in many selective-demolition tasks.

DSS 200: steel demolition

The DSS 200 provides up to 85.7 tonnes of published cutting force and 360-degree rotation. It is useful where a job moves beyond concrete into steel framing, reinforcing elements or mixed structures.

MG 200: do not overlook material handling

Breaking a structure is only part of demolition. Material must then be moved, sorted or presented for removal. A multi-grapple can make the same DXR platform useful after the primary destructive work is complete.

Choose tools from the workflow backwards

Do not buy five attachments because the brochure offers five attachments.

Start with:

material → required action → production target → tool → machine configuration.

A contractor that mainly crushes internal reinforced-concrete walls has a different optimal package from one performing refractory work or heavy slab breaking.

Electrical Power, Hydraulics and Duty Cycle

Unlike many mobile robots, the DXR 305 does not have a battery runtime that determines the shift.

It is an electrically powered hydraulic demolition machine. This brings a major advantage—no direct diesel exhaust emissions at the point of operation—but makes electrical supply part of the production system.

Plan the power before the machine arrives

The exact electrical specification must match the regional machine version and installation, but buyers should plan for industrial three-phase power rather than an ordinary building outlet.

Before mobilisation, confirm:

• Machine voltage and frequency.
• Required current and protection.
• Available site distribution.
• Generator specification if mains power is unavailable.
• Cable length and routing.
• Protection of cables from debris and machine traffic.
• Connection and isolation procedures.

A demolition robot without reliable power is an expensive object occupying the work zone.

Hydraulic capacity

Husqvarna publishes a maximum hydraulic flow of 85 l/min for the DXR 305. The tool itself may require less—for example, the SB 302 is listed at up to 80 l/min.

Correct flow and pressure settings matter when changing between tools. Husqvarna’s dedicated DXR tools are designed to integrate with the system, while third-party attachments require careful verification of mass, flow, pressure, connections and stability.

Can the DXR 305 work all day?

Potentially, yes—but electrical supply alone does not make the machine immune to duty-cycle constraints.

Continuous production also depends on:

• Hydraulic and ambient temperature.
• Attachment duty cycle.
• Cooling configuration.
• Greasing and wear.
• Debris management.
• Operator breaks and shift structure.
• Tool changes.
• Service intervals.

This is one reason Husqvarna offers an enhanced-cooling package for demanding applications.

DXR 305 P1, P2 and P3 Packages Explained

The factory packages are not cosmetic options. They change where the DXR 305 can realistically work and should therefore be selected around the job environment.

P1: the practical upgrade

P1 adds extended hydraulic functionality together with cylinder protection. It is particularly relevant when the intended attachment or site exposes the arm cylinders to more physical risk.

The current North American DXR 305 listed by Husqvarna at US$252,947 is identified as a P1 variant, which is another reason not to treat that U.S. price as the universal price of a standard machine.

P2: cooling for sustained demanding work

Enhanced cooling is designed for conditions where ordinary thermal management may limit continuous high-load operation.

For a contractor working in warm climates or industrial environments, cooling capacity can affect productive hours more than a headline specification such as maximum reach.

P3: high-heat environments

The heat-protection package is aimed at severe process-industry applications involving radiant heat. This is a specialised configuration and adds significant machine weight.

Do not specify P3 simply because a demolition site is “hot.” Define the actual thermal environment and ask Husqvarna or the authorised supplier to approve the intended task.

Safety, Dust and Site Requirements

Remote demolition can move the operator away from some hazards, but it does not turn demolition into a low-risk activity.

The DXR 305 should be integrated into a complete demolition plan covering structural stability, falling material, exclusion zones, dust, power, machine recovery and emergency procedures.

Functional safety

Husqvarna states that the current DXR range meets third-party requirements relating to EMC and functional safety and references a PLd reliability level for the safety system.

That is useful machine-level engineering, but it is not a substitute for the project’s risk assessment.

Structural loading

The standard DXR 305 is approximately 2,050 kg before the demolition tool.

That makes floor verification critical in existing buildings. A structural engineer may need to consider:

• Machine mass.
• Attachment mass.
• Track contact area.
• Outrigger reactions.
• Dynamic demolition loads.
• Local slab condition.
• Openings and damaged structure.
• Temporary propping.

Do not assume that because the machine fits through a doorway, the floor can support it.

Falling material

Remote control can let the operator stand further away, but the DXR itself still needs protection from collapsing concrete, reinforcement and overhead objects. Plan the demolition sequence so that the machine does not destroy its own safe working or recovery route.

Silica and demolition dust

Remote control does not eliminate silica.

Husqvarna’s published Siemens Erlangen project paired DXR robots with air-cleaning equipment, and the company explicitly highlights crystalline silica as a demolition-site hazard.

Depending on the job, controls can include:

• Water suppression.
• Tool-mounted dust-reduction systems.
• Local extraction.
• Negative-pressure containment.
• Air cleaners.
• Respiratory protection.
• Air monitoring.

Follow the applicable occupational-health rules for the country and material being demolished.

Electrical safety

Cable routing deserves specific attention. Keep power cables away from falling material, sharp reinforcement, tracked-machine paths, standing water and areas where the operator cannot inspect damage.

Recovery planning

Ask a question that is often forgotten during procurement:

If the machine stops in the worst point of the demolition zone, how do we recover it safely?

The answer should exist before production begins.

Real-World DXR 305 Deployment Evidence

Public independent productivity data for the DXR 305 is limited. That is important to say explicitly.

There is, however, credible evidence that the machine is being used on major commercial demolition projects.

Siemens Erlangen all-electric deconstruction project

In a project connected with Siemens’ €500 million development in Erlangen, Germany, Husqvarna supplied a DXR 145 and DXR 305 as part of an all-electric demolition fleet.

The DXR machines were used inside buildings for selective dismantling of concrete and masonry, working alongside electric Volvo equipment.

Husqvarna reported that more than 12,800 tonnes of material were processed across the wider deconstruction project and that 96% was recycled for the new development.

Those project-wide figures should not be interpreted as isolated DXR 305 productivity statistics. The useful evidence is different: a DXR 305 was selected as part of a real industrial-scale electric demolition workflow where indoor access, direct operating emissions, selective demolition and operator separation mattered.

What evidence you should demand before buying

For a capital purchase, manufacturer case studies are not enough.

Ask the supplier to demonstrate:

• Your main attachment.
• Material similar to your normal projects.
• Realistic working reach.
• Tool-change procedure.
• Transport through a representative doorway or corridor.
• Power connection and cable management.
• Expected service and wear requirements.
• Production rate under realistic conditions.

A site demonstration is far more useful than another brochure.

Best Husqvarna DXR 305 Use Cases

1. Selective interior demolition

Best overall use case. The narrow body and high hydraulic power make the DXR 305 particularly attractive when concrete, masonry or steel must be removed inside an existing structure without bringing in a full-size excavator.

Typical work includes walls, slabs, staircases, openings and structural elements scheduled for removal during refurbishment.

2. Reinforced-concrete demolition

The SB 302 breaker and DCR 300 crusher give contractors two very different ways to attack reinforced concrete.

The breaker is suited to impact demolition. The crusher is attractive where greater control or different noise and vibration characteristics are preferred.

3. High-risk demolition areas

Remote control can reduce the need for an operator to remain directly beside unstable material, heat, vibration or difficult access.

This does not make the work safe by itself, but it can be an important layer in the overall risk-control strategy.

4. Hospitals, hotels and occupied-building refurbishment

Electric drive means no direct engine exhaust at the machine. Combined with compact dimensions, this can make the DXR format useful during complex refurbishment projects.

Dust, noise, vibration and building isolation still require careful control.

5. Industrial plants

Foundries, cement plants, processing sites and other industrial facilities can benefit from remote operation and Husqvarna’s cooling and heat-protection packages.

The exact P1/P2/P3 configuration becomes especially important here.

6. Steel and mixed-material demolition

With the DSS 200 steel shear and other attachments, the DXR 305 is not limited to concrete. A single carrier can move between breaking, crushing, cutting and grappling tasks.

7. Confined-access construction work

Where a conventional excavator cannot reach the work face because of doorways, floor openings or existing structures, the DXR 305’s compact transport dimensions can change what is mechanically possible.

8. Electric or low-direct-emission demolition projects

The machine’s electric powertrain makes it relevant to contractors and clients reducing diesel equipment inside buildings or pursuing broader jobsite electrification.

When the Husqvarna DXR 305 Is Not the Right Machine

The DXR 305 is a specialist machine, and there are many projects where another solution makes more sense.

• Open demolition with unrestricted access: a conventional excavator may offer more reach, mobility and attachment capacity for less cost per tonne demolished.
• Very light demolition: the capital and mobilisation cost can be excessive for occasional small breaking jobs.
• Low-capacity suspended floors: a smaller DXR such as the DXR 145 or another lightweight solution may be easier to engineer.
• Projects requiring extra reach: the DXR 315 offers a telescopic arm and greater published upward reach.
• Jobs dominated by maximum attachment capacity: a larger Brokk or conventional excavator may be more appropriate.
• Sites without suitable electricity: generator and cable infrastructure can reduce the attraction of an electric demolition robot.
• Autonomous-operation requirements: the DXR 305 is teleoperated, not autonomous.
• No trained operator: machine capability is wasted if the contractor cannot operate the tool efficiently and safely.
• No defined utilisation: expensive specialist equipment can produce poor ROI if it spends most of the year parked.

Husqvarna DXR 305 vs DXR 275, DXR 315 and Brokk 200+

The DXR 305’s closest alternatives are not generic “robots.” They are other compact remote-controlled demolition machines.

DXR 305 vs DXR 275

The DXR 275 is the better shortlist candidate when machine mass is the dominant constraint.

It weighs approximately 200 kg less in standard configuration and has 24 kW input power, 75 l/min maximum hydraulic flow and 4.8 m reach.

Choose the DXR 305 when the additional hydraulic capacity and reach are worth the extra mass.

DXR 305 vs DXR 315

This is the most interesting comparison inside Husqvarna’s range.

Both machines publish:

• 27 kW rated input power.
• 85 l/min maximum hydraulic flow.

The DXR 315 adds a telescopic arm and increases published upward reach to 5.5 m, while standard weight rises to approximately 2,110 kg.

Choose the DXR 305 if its 5.2 m reach covers the work and simplicity or slightly lower mass is valuable.

Choose the DXR 315 when the telescopic arm and additional working envelope create a real production advantage.

DXR 305 vs Brokk 200+

Brokk 200+ is probably the closest direct competitive benchmark.

Brokk currently publishes:

• 27.5 kW power.
• 2,100 kg machine weight.
• 780 mm minimum width.
• 5.45 m vertical reach.
• 5.1 m horizontal reach.
• Up to 350 kg recommended attachment weight.
• Up to 300 m radio-control range.

On raw headline specifications, these machines are very close.

The purchasing decision should therefore move beyond the spec sheet to:

• Dealer and service coverage.
• Tool availability.
• Attachment performance on your materials.
• Operator preference.
• Parts availability.
• Training.
• Purchase price.
• Residual value.
• Fleet standardisation.

DXR 305 vs Brokk 300+

The Brokk 300+ moves into another size class: approximately 3,650 kg, 37 kW and 6.5 m vertical reach with heavier attachment capability.

It offers more machine, but the penalty is obvious: substantially greater weight and a 1.2 m minimum width.

If the reason for buying a demolition robot is getting through tight existing buildings, bigger is not automatically better.

Use the Anton Robots comparison tool to compare machines around your actual project constraints rather than a single headline specification.

Is the Husqvarna DXR 305 Worth It?

The DXR 305 can be worth the investment when its compact access, remote operation or multi-tool capability lets a contractor complete profitable work that would otherwise require more labour, more temporary works, a different demolition method or a much larger machine.

It can be poor value when purchased without enough annual utilisation.

Build the ROI around productive hours

A useful contractor model is:

Annual economic benefit = additional gross profit from DXR-enabled jobs + labour savings + avoided access/setup cost + productivity improvement + avoided equipment rental − annual ownership and operating cost.

Then calculate:

Payback period = total deployed investment ÷ monthly net economic benefit.

Include the complete investment

Your capital figure should include:

• DXR 305.
• Primary demolition tool.
• Secondary attachments.
• Chisels and wear components.
• Electrical equipment or generator.
• Transport equipment.
• Dust-control equipment.
• Training.
• Commissioning.
• Initial spare parts.

Include the real operating cost

Track:

• Operator labour.
• Electricity or generator cost.
• Wear tools.
• Hydraulic servicing.
• Attachment maintenance.
• Cables and hoses.
• Transport between jobs.
• Unplanned downtime.
• Dealer servicing.
• Insurance and finance.

The revenue side can matter more than labour savings

For a demolition contractor, the strongest business case may not be “replace X workers.”

It may be:

“We can now bid for jobs that require remote demolition or cannot accept conventional excavators.”

A machine that opens a profitable new project category can pay back very differently from equipment bought only to reduce existing labour.

Utilisation is critical

Before buying, estimate the number of realistic billable DXR days per year.

Then stress-test the business case at:

• Expected utilisation.
• 25% lower utilisation.
• 50% lower utilisation.

If the machine only works economically in the optimistic scenario, renting or subcontracting may be safer initially.

Husqvarna DXR 305 Buying Checklist

1. Define the demolition task. Concrete, masonry, steel, refractory material, excavation or mixed demolition?
2. Measure access. Check every doorway, corridor, ramp, lift, turn and level change between unloading point and work area.
3. Verify structural capacity. Assess the exact machine configuration, tool, outriggers and dynamic loads.
4. Select the primary tool first. Breaker, crusher, shear, grapple or cutter should be chosen around the material and production target.
5. Choose Standard, P1, P2 or P3. Do not pay for environmental protection you do not need—or omit it where you do.
6. Confirm electrical supply. Match the quoted regional machine to site distribution or generator capacity.
7. Design the cable route. Keep power safely protected throughout machine movement and demolition.
8. Plan dust control. Remote operation does not solve crystalline silica or general demolition dust.
9. Define exclusion zones. Include falling material, machine movement, tool fragments and structural collapse.
10. Plan debris removal. The DXR must not bury itself or lose its exit route.
11. Review operator training. Include enough practical time to become productive with each attachment.
12. Check service coverage. Understand parts availability, response times and who supports hydraulic or electrical failures.
13. Run a representative demonstration. Use material and geometry similar to your actual projects.
14. Measure output. Record productivity rather than judging the demo visually.
15. Request full commercial terms. Machine, attachments, warranty, delivery, training, service and financing should be compared together.
16. Build a utilisation model. Confirm that expected annual billable days support the investment.

Pro tip: do not start the buying process with “We want a DXR 305.” Start with “We need to remove this material, through this access route, at this production rate, under these structural and safety constraints.” If the DXR 305 is still the best answer after that, the purchase case is much stronger.

How to Buy the Husqvarna DXR 305

The DXR 305 is primarily sold through Husqvarna Construction and its professional dealer network using a consultative process.

Outside markets where a public list price is shown, expect to request a quotation.

Prepare this before requesting a quote

• Country and project location.
• Type and thickness of material being demolished.
• Reinforcement or steel details.
• Required working height and reach.
• Minimum access width.
• Floor and lift restrictions.
• Primary intended attachment.
• Expected working hours per day.
• Ambient temperature and heat exposure.
• Available electrical supply.
• Dust-control requirements.
• Desired delivery date.
• Estimated annual utilisation.

This allows the supplier to recommend not just a machine, but the correct tool and factory package.

Review the Husqvarna DXR 305 product page at Anton Robots, browse the Husqvarna range, or contact Anton Robots for help comparing a project-specific configuration.

If the machine itself is not yet decided, the Find My Robot tool can help narrow the shortlist.

Husqvarna DXR 305 in 2026: What Buyers Should Know

There is no need to invent a “2026 model” where Husqvarna has not announced one.

The important current buyer information is that the latest DXR range remains commercially active and Husqvarna currently publishes the DXR 305 at 27 kW, 5.2 m upward reach, 85 l/min maximum hydraulic flow and approximately 2,050 kg in standard configuration.

Current four-configuration range

The international catalogue currently lists Standard, P1, P2 and P3 configurations with published weights from approximately 2,050 to 2,195 kg.

That matters for buyers comparing an online specification against a dealer quote: two DXR 305 machines can have different weights because they are not necessarily the same factory configuration.

Current U.S. public pricing

Husqvarna currently publishes a US$252,947 list price for the North American P1 version. This gives buyers a useful public benchmark that was not always available, although it is not a global price.

The DXR tool ecosystem continues to expand

Husqvarna’s current demolition-tool catalogue now covers a broad selection of breakers, crushers, grapples, steel shears and rotary cutting tools. The machine should therefore increasingly be evaluated as a reusable hydraulic platform rather than a one-purpose breaker carrier.

Electrification is becoming more relevant

Recent commercial projects such as Siemens Erlangen show remote demolition robots working as part of wider electric construction-equipment fleets.

For buyers under pressure to reduce diesel equipment inside buildings or on low-emission sites, that makes the DXR proposition more relevant than its raw demolition specifications alone suggest.

Husqvarna DXR 305 FAQ

How much does a Husqvarna DXR 305 cost?

As of 11 September 2026, Husqvarna’s U.S. website lists the North American P1 DXR 305 at US$252,947. Other Husqvarna regional sites, including Australia and the international site, use quote-based pricing. Attachments, delivery, training and site equipment add to the total deployment cost.

Husqvarna’s remote-control system publishes radio operation up to approximately 300 m under suitable conditions. Safe operating position and visibility are determined by the worksite, not simply the maximum radio range.

Can the DXR 305 fit through a standard doorway?

Husqvarna specifically positions the machine as capable of fitting through normal doorways due to its approximately 78 cm width. Every project should still measure the complete access route, including turning space and thresholds.

What breaker fits the DXR 305?

The SB 302 is the headline heavy breaker for the machine. Husqvarna publishes 610 J impact energy, 299 kg attachment weight and up to 80 l/min hydraulic flow.

Can the DXR 305 crush concrete?

Yes. The DCR 300 crusher fits the DXR 305. Husqvarna publishes a 430 mm maximum jaw opening, 45 tonnes of crushing force and 143 tonnes of cutting force and states that it can tackle concrete walls up to 400 mm thick under suitable conditions.

Can the DXR 305 cut steel?

Yes. The DSS 200 steel shear is compatible with the platform and has a published 85.7 tonnes of cutting force and 360-degree rotation.

Does the DXR 305 produce exhaust emissions?

The machine is electrically powered, so it produces no direct combustion-engine exhaust emissions at the point of operation. Electricity generation and the wider jobsite can still have upstream emissions.

Does remote operation make demolition safe?

No. Remote operation can reduce operator exposure to some hazards, but structural collapse, falling material, electricity, silica dust, flying fragments and machine movement still require engineering controls and safe operating procedures.

What is the difference between the DXR 305 and DXR 315?

Both currently publish 27 kW power and 85 l/min maximum hydraulic flow. The DXR 315 adds a telescopic arm and increases upward reach from 5.2 m to 5.5 m, while standard machine weight rises from approximately 2,050 kg to 2,110 kg.

What is the difference between the DXR 275 and DXR 305?

The DXR 275 is lighter at approximately 1,850 kg standard, with 24 kW power, 75 l/min flow and 4.8 m reach. The DXR 305 moves to 27 kW, 85 l/min, 5.2 m reach and approximately 2,050 kg.

Is the DXR 305 better than the Brokk 200+?

Neither is universally better. They are very close competitors in size and power. Brokk publishes 27.5 kW, 2,100 kg, 780 mm width and 5.45 m vertical reach for the 200+. The better machine depends on attachment performance, support, dealer network, price, operator preference and the exact job.

Can a DXR 305 work indoors?

Yes, indoor selective demolition is one of its strongest use cases. Its compact width and electric operation are valuable inside buildings, but structural loading, dust, ventilation, electrical supply and access still need engineering.

Can a DXR 305 work in hot industrial environments?

Husqvarna offers enhanced-cooling and heat-protection configurations specifically for demanding and high-radiant-heat environments. The exact application should be approved against the selected P2 or P3 configuration.

Is the Husqvarna DXR 305 worth buying?

It can be when a contractor has enough projects where compact access, remote operation or specialist hydraulic demolition creates measurable productivity or revenue. Low annual utilisation can make renting or subcontracting more economical.

Final Verdict: Should You Buy the Husqvarna DXR 305?

Buy or seriously shortlist the Husqvarna DXR 305 when you need heavy hydraulic demolition capability inside a compact access envelope and remote operation materially improves how the work can be executed.

Its 27 kW power, 85 l/min maximum hydraulic flow, 5.2 m reach and approximately 78 cm width create a particularly strong combination for selective demolition and difficult interior work. The attachment ecosystem also means the same carrier can break concrete, crush it, cut steel, grapple debris and perform other specialised tasks.

The constraints are equally real.

At approximately 2,050 kg before the tool, the DXR 305 is not a lightweight device. Structural floor capacity, transport, electrical supply, dust control, attachment selection and operator competence all need to be solved before it becomes productive. The total package is also expensive enough that utilisation should be proven rather than assumed.

For projects where a normal excavator can drive directly to the work face and operate safely, the DXR 305 may be unnecessarily specialised. But when access, emissions, precision or operator separation become hard constraints, its value proposition changes substantially.

The smartest buying process is mission-led: identify the material, access route, required production rate, structural limits and main tool; then demonstrate the exact machine configuration under representative conditions before committing.
