Buying a hydraulic hammer is no small purchase. Being confident in your selection is extremely important, as choosing the wrong hammer could result in many repairs, restorations, and costly maintenance. Continue reading to discover what you should look for before renting or purchasing a hydraulic hammer.

The Size

It’s crucial that your hydraulic hammer mounts with the correct size carrier. For these two to match in size, you must be aware of the carrier and hammer you are investing in. Ensuring the proper match can not only optimize your efficiency but can protect your products from improper usage. This can be difficult to discover on your own, as there is no global standard for sizing. Allow one of our experts at Gorilla Hammers to assist you with matching the size of the breaker by identifying the weight, energy level, piston diameter, and more. 

Its Hydraulic Flow

As you likely are aware, the power that creates hydraulic hammers to function stems from its flow. Depending on the excavator and what it entails, some can accept an extensive flow range, while others are more specified. To ensure that you know the type of hydraulic flow your excavator carries and adapts to, allow our experts here at Gorilla to assist. If you have an overflow, your hammer will be damaged from an excess of pressure. Contrastingly, an insufficient flow will create an unproductive, weak hammer with very little power.  

Maintenance Cost
