Takeuchi launches hydraulic hammers compatible with excavators

21 Oct 2022 CW Team

Seven new sound-suppressed hydraulic hammers have been added to Takeuchi’s attachment lineup. The new hammers are compatible with a wide range of Takeuchi equipment.

“Hydraulic hammers are invaluable attachments for breaking up asphalt, concrete, rock and other hard materials," said Lee Padgett, product manager for Takeuchi-US. "Contractors and others who perform demolition and excavation will find these hammers match perfectly with a wide range of Takeuchi machines. And because our hammers are sound-suppressed, they can be operated in quieter environments with less noise disruption throughout the surrounding area.”

The TKB52-S, TKB72-S and TKB102-S breakers are compatible with compact excavators ranging from the TB210R to the TB230. The TKB-302S, TKB402-S and TKB802-S breakers work well with compact track loader models ranging from the TL6R to the TL12V2/R2 and compact excavator models ranging from the TB235-2 to the TB290.

The TKB1702-S breaker is compatible with the TB2150 and TB2150R compact excavators. The sound-suppressed design of every Takeuchi hammer provides noise and vibration insulation and protects it from dust and debris. Constant blow energy, or “CBE,” allows for a wide range of oil flow settings and protects the hammer against high back pressure. An integrated, membrane-type hydraulic accumulator eliminates nitrogen leakage and the need to recharge, reducing operating costs.
