How much does a 140 breaker hammer weigh?

140 breaker hammers generally weigh around 1.8 tons. Below is an introduction to breaker hammers: Introduction: Breaker hammers, also known as hydraulic picks or hydraulic guns, derive their power from the pressure oil provided by the pump stations of excavators or loaders. They are more effective in clearing floating stones and soil from rock crevices during the excavation of building foundations. Hydraulic breaker hammers adopt an optimized design concept, increasing the stroke of the piston and cylinder, and using a piston and chisel rod of the same diameter. This ensures the best matching effect between the breaker hammer and the host machine, maximizes the rational use of the highest output energy, saves energy, and achieves the highest work efficiency. The selection principle is based on the excavator model and the working environment to choose the most suitable hydraulic breaker hammer. Classification: According to the operation method, breaker hammers can be divided into two main categories: handheld and machine-mounted. Based on the working principle, they can be classified into three major types: fully hydraulic, hydraulic-pneumatic combined, and nitrogen explosion type.
The weight of a 140 hydraulic breaker generally ranges between 1.5 to 2.5 tons, depending on the brand and internal structural design. Breakers from major manufacturers like Sany or Caterpillar tend to be heavier, possibly approaching 2.5 tons, while lightweight designs from smaller factories may weigh around 1.8 tons. From my experience using them several times, I've found that weight directly affects excavator compatibility - for instance, a 130-model excavator can't handle a 140 breaker, and forced usage may damage the hydraulic system. Special attention should also be paid during transportation as overweight breakers can easily damage trailer floors; it's advisable to measure the weight beforehand when arranging transport. Forklifts are strongly recommended for loading/unloading as manual handling is impossible - safety always comes first.
