The invention relates to a demolition robot (1), comprising a cable (12) intended to be connected to an electric network to power a motor (21), a pump (22) that is powered by the electric motor for generating a hydraulic flow to consumers (13), wherein the motor (21) is activable at varying thermal load values (PT), depending on the current consumer's (13) need for hydraulic power, a control unit (24) arranged to receive information about the thermal load (PT) on the motor, to determine a partial thermal damage value (SL, SM, SH) at various thermal loads (PT) on the motor. To minimize the risk of thermal damage to the motor, the control unit (24) is adapted to compare said partial thermal damage values (SL, SM, SH) with a normative partial thermal damage (A) and is adapted to limit the thermal load (PT) on the motor (21) to a maximum allowable thermal load value (PTmax), if the partial thermal damage value (SL, SM, SH) exceeds the normative partial thermal damage (A) at a predetermined value (A′).
