HAWK Excavator Attachments
Hawk has got many specialized attachments for specific tasks. It greatly expands the functionality of excavators, allowing them to perform a wide range of construction, demolition, material handling, and specialized tasks with efficiency and precision.
Following are the HAWK’s attachments:
Hydraulic Breaker Hammers
Most contractors prefer using the HAWK’s Excavator hydraulic breaker hammer because of its high performance in mining, demolitions, excavations, and quarries as it chips away large boulders and concrete structures. The brand’s hydraulic hammer rock breaker reduces manual work, relatively saves energy, and stands to its efficient but straightforward working principle. The hydraulic hammer uses a piston to strike the material’s surface with high-impact force, breaking it apart into smaller pieces.
Non-Rotating Clamshell Buckets
The clamshell bucket by HAWK excavator is best for dredging and material re-handling. This clamshell bucket is available in three different versions: heavy-duty, standard, and light. Regardless of the versions, these equipment pieces feature a 360-degree sealed rotation. There are also units meant for environmental applications.
Rotating Clamshell Buckets
The HAWK’s excavator clamshell bucket is best for dredging and material re-handling. This clamshell bucket is available in three versions: heavy-duty, standard, and light. Regardless of the versions, these equipment pieces feature a 360-degree sealed rotation. There are also units meant for environmental applications.
