Hammer time

The Cat H180D S hydraulic hammer is designed to deliver superior breaking productivity and to minimize downtime through the use of a number of innovative features. Compared with the previous model, the piston and tool of the H180D S (Circle 911) have been increased in size for a 15% increase in productivity. The hammer weighs 8,600 lb and is perfectly matched to Cat 345 and 365 hydraulic excavators.

The auto shutoff (ASO) feature turns the hammer off when no material is present beneath it. ASO extends the reliability and durability of the hammer by reducing the high stress levels caused by blank firing.

The heavy-duty suspension system significantly reduces shock loads transmitted to the machine during hammer operation to improve operator comfort and to extend the life of critical machine components. Standard sound suppression improves operator comfort and environmental protection.

Full-length wear plates on all four sides of the inner housing increase the guidance and the stability of the power cell. The wear plate design also enhances durability, and visual wear indicators ease maintenance.
