Silenced duo from Takeuchi
Two new silenced hydraulic breakers have been introduced by Takeuchi. The newcomers are the TKB52-S, which weighs 80g and is compatible with the manufacturer’s 800kg to 1.8 tonne compact excavators, and the 120kg TKB72-S that is suitable for 1.3 to 2.7 tonne minis. Both have been specially produced for Takeuchi by Sandvik in Finland.
Incorporating a narrow design, an integrated membrane type accumulator and a single lower tool bushing, the breakers have low LwA sound power levels of 119 and 123dB respectively, and impact rate ranges of 1300 to 2500 and 1500 to 2600 blows/min.

They can also be used with cordless drills, and are available in kit form.

Buckhurst unveils pipe crushers
Buckhurst Plant Hire promoted two new metallic pipe crushers designed to be carried on the dipper arm of a small mini excavator, with one being prominently shown on a special display stand. The smaller model weighs 33kg and is suitable for crushing old 5in diameter pipes, whilst its bigger brother weighs 58kg and will deal with redundant 6in and 8in mains pipes.
Both attachments, which are being made at Buckhurst’s Rossendale facility, can be used on 1.5 tonne minis with an auxiliary hydraulic flow of 80 litre/min at a pressure of 180 bar. Buckhurst also operates a national hire fleet and reports considerable interest in the pipe crushers from utility contractors.
