Product Snapshot: Loader-Tool Carrier and Pipe Fusion Machine
The SB 702 Hydraulic Breaker has a single-piece housing design, which eliminates the need for side bolts, as well as a percussion mechanism and guide system in a single block of steel. The breaker works with a wide oil-flow range, and it is compatible with a variety of carrier vehicles. In case of hydraulic overload, the SB 702 has an integrated protection valve to prevent damage to the breaker. Atlas Copco; 800-732-6762; www.atlascopco.us
