161 Atlas Copco has introduced a new range of Essential (ES) hydraulic breaker attachments which the company claims give rental centres and contractors a fast return on investment by simplifying maintenance and operation.

The three ES models - ES 60, ES 70 and ES 80 - are very narrow to promote good visibility and handling on work sites for construction, landscaping and renovation, said Kevin Loomis, business line manager for Atlas Copco Construction Equipment. Operators can cut narrow and precise trenches for plumbing installation applications without removing excess soil to accommodate the breaker’s size.

The ES breakers feature Atlas Copco’s solid body construction that combines percussion and mounting components in one uniform structure. This eliminates the need for external fasteners, which allows rental centre mechanics to quickly and easily replace wear bushing and seals, resulting in fast turnaround times for repairs and maintenance.

The ES breakers have an easily accessed central lubrication point and full-length floating bushings to ensure grease fully coats bushings and tool steel. The breakers enhance productivity with a nitrogen gas assist system that works with the units’ hydraulic oil to accelerate the breakers’ pistons and achieve impact rates as high as 1,300 beats per minute.

The three ES breakers attach to a wide range of carriers in weight classes that range from nearly 2,900kg (6,400 to more than 11,800kg (26,000 pounds).
