Atlas Copco's New Breaker Attachments for Heavier Carriers
Atlas Copco has added three new hydraulic breaker attachments to its Essential Case-Mounted (EC) range to fit 22- to 49-ton carriers. The new, Heavy Range breaker attachments – the EC 140 T, EC 150 T and EC 155 T – give rental centers and contractors fast ROI by simplifying maintenance and operation.
“The Heavy Range EC breakers generate powerful breaking power inside a streamlined body,” said Kevin Loomis, construction tool business line manager. “Their simplicity also makes them a perfect addition to rental and equipment fleets because they’re easy to maintain and handle.”
The EC breaker attachments feature Atlas Copco’s box-style mounting systems, which eliminate the need for removing external fasteners to access components, such as wear bushings and seals. This helps speeed turnaround times for maintenance and, as a result, higher utilization rates. The heavy-duty attachments are as light as 4,000 lbs. and generate impact rates as high as 800 bpm to deliver effective impact energy to the breaking surface. With their high power-to-weight ratios, they’re highly effective in demanding applications such as demolition, earthwork, quarrying and trenching.
Atlas Copco measures the power of its breakers using the Association of Equipment Manufacturers’ foot-pound rating. The rating, which was developed by the Mounted Breaker Manufacturers Bureau, makes it easy for rental centers and contractors to compare breaker models by reviewing true figures collected after a certified test procedure.
The Heavy Range EC breakers also ensure smooth operation and long service lives with integrated features such as nitrogen-gas assist and Atlas Copco’s exclusive Energy Recovery system. The breakers' VibroSilenced Plus system isolates percussion mechanisms from breaker boxes with polyurethane damping and seal all attachment openings to minimize noise and vibrations.
