Furukawa Rock Drill (FRD) USA Advances the 12,000-ft lb Class Breaker with Introduction of Fx800 Qtv
New Hydraulic Breaker Replaces Fx770 with Increased Breaking Performance and Reduced Energy Loss
KENT, OHIO – February 27, 2027– Furukawa Rock Drill (FRD) USA, a leading manufacturer of blast hole drills, hydraulic breakers and various other attachments for skid steers, mini excavators, backhoes and excavators, is introducing a new large-series breaker with the Fx800 Qtv. It replaces the Fx770 12,000-ft lb. class breaker, offering numerous advancements, including increased breaking performance and reduced energy loss during operation.
Like its predecessor, the Fx800 runs on a broad range of excavators (48.5 ton to 83 ton). The Fx800 still requires the same pressure and flow as the Fx770, but re-engineered internal hydraulic routing delivers improved efficiency, improving breaking performance and reducing energy loss during operation.
Additional updates to the Fx800 include modified thru bolts with a larger thread diameter to increase thru-bolt longevity and improve operating life, a more robust front-head ideal for abrasive applications, and an anti-blow feature for increased performance, extending breaker life. Large diameter working steel at 7.48” maximizes rock breaking and a redesigned soundproof cover provides easier maintenance access.
“The new Fx800 breaker is a great choice for breaking hard rock, working in quarries, and large-scale demolition jobs. The Fx770 has always been a dependable, powerful breaker. The Fx800 builds on that foundation with multiple updates and advancements to make it even more powerful and efficient, while also reducing downtime and maintenance,” says Ted Crane, FRD USA’s national sales manager of the breaker attachment division.
