What To Look For In Hydraulic Hammers

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. 

Hydraulic Flow

As you are likely aware, the power that creates hydraulic hammers to function stems from their 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

Be sure to stay up to date with the maintenance of your hammer. To get ahead of the game, you could read our blog about care when it comes to repairs and restorations. The upkeep of hydraulic hammers can be costly, so you should be sure to outweigh all of your options when you are investing. You can contact us here at Gorilla for any questions you may have, especially regarding the pricing, repair costs, seal kits, chisels, and more. Regular and proper maintenance for your hydraulic hammer can help create a long-lasting product.
