A new 25kg class breaking hammer ideal for heavy-duty concrete and rock breaking is now available exclusively from Upat. The Milwaukee K2500 H produces 64 joules of impact energy to break large pieces of concrete over extended periods. The unique floating motor design features a spring-loaded system to reduce vibration. As a result, the hammer has an in-class vibration of 4.9m²/s, believed to be the lowest of any 25kg class breakers on the market today. “A stand-out feature is the service-free striking mechanism that doesn’t contain any O-rings on the striker. Therefore, the only maintenance required is 20g of grease once every 40 hours and ensuring that the chisel remains sharp,” Milwaukee product specialist Werner Koch, explains. A handy maintenance sticker sets out the maintenance schedule. The K2500 H comes standard with the Milwaukee tick-tracking system, which can be loaded onto the ONE-KEY app to alert end users to the next greasing interval. www.plantonline.co.za
