Models complete line of small hydraulic hammers

The new H45Ds hydraulic hammer replaces the H45/H45s hammers. It is in the 300 ft-lb. class (power), up from the 200 ft-lbs of its predecessors, and provides 2,300 blows per minute. The H35Ds is another new offering that completes the full range of Cat small hydraulic hammers. It is in the 150 ft-lb class and provides 2,900 blows per minute. Both hammers are matches for the 301.6C and 301.8C Caterpillar mini-hydraulic excavators. The H45Ds also matches with the 302.5C mini-hydraulic excavator. In its family of small hydraulic hammers, Caterpillar now offers a range of energy classes from 150 ft-lbs to 700 ft-lbs. The new hammers contain nearly 50 percent fewer parts than the H45/H45s for simplified maintenance and reduced owning and operating costs.
