Buying a Husqvarna DXR? Send the tear-out before you bid
Remote demolition robots are quote jobs. If you are pricing interior demo, a plant outage, or a selective tear-out, here is what to send Shannon Supply so we can match the DXR — and keep you from underbidding the machine.
Most people who call me about a DXR already lost a week. They hunted list prices online, assumed freight was free, and put a number in a bid that did not cover the breaker, the heat kit, or the training day.
A Husqvarna DXR is a remote-controlled demolition robot. You buy it when the tear-out is too dangerous, too dusty, or too precise for a crew with handheld breakers. You do not buy it the way you buy flap discs.
What belongs on the quote
- Job type. Interior selective demo, plant outage, bridge/deck, multi-story, hazmat-adjacent — say which.
- Access. Elevator size, floor loading, doorway width, crane-in vs roll-in.
- Class if you know it. DXR 95, 145, 275, 305, 315 — or "unsure." Unsure is fine.
- Purchase vs rental and the calendar window.
- Bid deadline. Live lettings jump the queue.

Where to look in the catalog
Demolition machines — robots, demo tools, attachments.
Husqvarna Construction — full dealer line we quote from Freeland.
Wire saws — when the section is too thick or awkward for a robot footprint.
The mistake I see on every other bid
People price the robot like a commodity SKU. The GC asks which dealer you are using, and you still do not have a freight-inclusive package. That is how you win the work and lose the margin — or lose the work to the dealer who answered the phone.
We would rather spend twenty minutes on the scope and win the machine order than watch you discover lead time on Friday.
What to do today
If a tear-out is on the calendar, send the DXR quote with access notes in the first paragraph. Say "DXR" in the subject line if you email sales. That is how those tickets get handled first.
