Lightweight breaker

Weighing in at 1,610 lb., the Montabert 501 next generation hydraulic breaker is 30 per cent lighter than its predecessor and 75 per cent more powerful, providing aggregates producers, as well as construction and demolition contractors, with an improved power-to-weight ratio. Best suited for use with backhoe loaders and excavators weighing between 17,637 lb. to 39,683 lb., the all-purpose hydraulic breaker delivers up to 870 blows per minute. Features include an energy recovery system that captures and recycles recoil energy from the piston and a blank-fire protection system that reduces metal-to-metal contact. www.montabert.com
