Montabert’s redesigned 501 Next Generation (501 NG) hydraulic breaker has a 30% weight reduction, now weighing 1,610 lbs., and is 75% more powerful than its predecessor.

Designed for use with backhoe loaders and excavators weighing between 17,637 and 39,683 lbs., the all-purpose hydraulic breaker delivers up to 870 blows per minute — demolishing oversized boulders and thick concrete with ease. The 501 NG falls within the 2,000 ft.-lb. impact energy class and requires a hydraulic flow rate of between 21 and 37 gallons per minute. 

Standard performance-improving features include an energy recovery system that captures and recycles recoil energy from the piston to increase strike power and a blank-fire protection system that reduces harmful metal-to-metal contact. In addition, the 501 NG hydraulic breaker’s upper and lower suspension system extends the carrier’s work-group life by absorbing harmful vibrations and stress waves.

The Montabert 501 NG hydraulic breaker is covered by a limited one-year warranty.
