Bobcat's hydraulic breaker attachment, which quickly mounts to the carrier ma- chine via the Bob-Tach and X-Change mounting systems, delivers maximum efficiency by matching the hydraulic capacity of the carrier to the breaker, allowing consistent machine-to-breaker perfor- mance. Suitable for a range of demolition jobs, the breaker is available in models ranging from 60- to 1,000 foot-pound impact energy classes. Bobcat | www.bobcat.com Chicago Pneumatic offers a full line of hydraulic rig-mounted breakers for different applications. Its lineup includes medium and heavy hydraulic breakers used by the aggregates industry. The RX line is said to be reliable with the power and toughness needed to get the job done and is built to last. The medium range features three models and is used for rock excavation and quarrying. The heavy range offers five models to be used in rock excavation and mining applications. Chicago Pneumatic www.cp.com Atlas Copco's 4.5-ton HB4100 hydraulic breaker fits 40- to 70-ton carriers and gives operators a hard-hitting and efficient tool for a wide range of applications, including secondary breaking. The breaker's Energy- Recovery system automatically uses the pis- ton's recoil energy to power the next blow, which minimizes vibrations and the hydraulic power demand from the carrier. The unit also features Atlas Copco's AutoControl system, which automatically adjusts how hard the breaker hits based on the density of the ma- terial being broken. This means the breaker doesn't need to constantly run at full force, which minimizes operating costs.

Designed without tie rods, the breakers incorporate Allied's Constant Blow Energy plus operating system. A field-replaceable integrated one-piece tool bushing design includes the thrust ring, upper bushing, lower bushing, and dust seal, which require fewer parts. A box- type housing has high-tech dampening material that reduces noise and vibration and protects the power cell. Installation is simplified through the use of a swivel- type hose connecting block.
