New Cat hammers for medium and large excavators

15 Mar 13 Caterpillar has added three new models to its E Series hammer line"the H140E, H160E and H180E"for use on medium and large excavators.

The E Series hammers are designed to be easy to service in the field using common hand tools. Features include automatic shut-off, and silencing and vibration buffering.

The three new hammers match up with Cat excavators ranging from the 324E to the 374D L. Mounting brackets are available for Cat quick couplers. The energy classes of the H140Es, H160Es and H18Es are 6,000 ft-lb (8,135 J), 8,500 ft-lb (11,525 J) and 12,000 ft-lb (16,270 J), respectively.

E Series hammers have a new symmetrical housing design that allows rotating the housing 180 degrees to compensate for wear. The lower portion incorporates rock edges to protect the housing and enable quick positioning of boulders. An optional wear package is available to further enhance hammer durability in severe applications.
