178 Caterpillar has made a significant step in its approach to the attachments market with the development of its own breaker range. The firm is now offering its H25D unit at the market for compact machines weighing up to 1.1tonnes and the new breaker is said to combine simplicity and cost-effectiveness with a high power-to-weight ratio. The company previously sourced breakers from 325 Sandvik but has opted to develop its own range, seeing the hydraulic hammer as a key tool on construction, demolition and quarrying sites.

The H25D has been designed with a focus on reliability and ease of serviceability and features a streamlined profile -- and just two moving parts. The design of the casing means that the H25D has no tie rods, while the unit also has an integrated accumulator and integrated lower tool bushing.

A high blow rate is claimed, boosting productivity while constant blow energy is delivered, as long as the hydraulic supply is within required parameters. There is no need for gas recharging, while the single lower tool bushing can be replaced in only a few minutes. The hammer comes with a complete mounting group for the HEXMN 300.9D machine.
