Atlas Copco adds smaller breakers to product line

Atlas Copco, an equipment manufacturer headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, has expanded its Essential Case-Mounted (EC) range of hydraulic breaker attachments by adding five small breakers to the lineup that are designed to fit in limited-access work environments, such as pipe trenches or cramped demolition sites.

 

The new breakers fit 1- to 12-ton carriers and can give rental centers and contractors a fast return on investment by simplifying maintenance and operation, says Atlas Copco.

 

The new, small range breaker attachments are the EC 40 T, EC 50 T, EC 60 T, EC 70 T and EC 80 T models. Atlas Copco says the attachments “excel in day-to-day breaking tasks for small-scale construction and demolition applications.” 

 

“These compact case-mounted breakers were developed for the construction and rental industries,” says Kevin Loomis, Atlas Copco construction tool business line manager. “Their simplicity makes them easy to use and quick to maintain, which results in high utilization rates for rental centers.”

 

The EC breaker attachments feature Atlas Copco’s box-style mounting systems, designed to eliminate the need to remove external fasteners to access components, such as wear bushings and seals, for maintenance. 

 

Atlas Copco manufactures compressors, vacuum solutions and air treatment systems, construction and mining equipment, power tools and assembly systems. The company announced in February its decision to discontinue its Powercrusher business line.
