Caterpillar E Series hammersCaterpillar E Series hammers

Caterpillar introduces four E Series Hammer models โ€” H110Es, H115Es, H120Es and H130Es โ€” for use on small and medium excavators and the Cat 450E Backhoe Loader. The hammer series feature a new symmetrical housing design, which allows rotating the housing 180 degrees to compensate for wear, effectively extending the life of the housing.

The lower portion incorporates โ€œrock edgesโ€ that add protection to the housing in abusive applications. An optional wear package is available to further enhance hammer durability in severe applications. A curved front and back profile eliminates stress points and transfers forces to the bottom of the hammer. One-piece side plates eliminate the center joint and weld. An automatic shutoff feature instantly stops the hammer when the tool breaks through material.
