FHB45 QTV LARGE SERIES HYDRAULIC ROCK BREAKERS for 39–61 Ton Excavators – WHERE STRENGTH MEETS DURABILITY
The largest FHB Series breaker, with the Quick Switch Valve as standard and the Smart Stroke System as an option. Excavators in the 39- to 61-ton range are perfect matches for this demolition machine. The FHB45 Qtv rock breaking hammer improves day-to-day performance.
Whether you’re breaking blue granite in the Northeast or reducing oversize in quarries, the FHB45 Qtv hammer improves day-to-day performance. The FHB45 offers less maintenance and downtime, smoother operation, superior strength and the highest level of reliability.
The FRD FHB45 is a hydraulic breaker for excavators in the 39 to 61 U.S. ton class, with 45 tons as the optimal carrier weight. It weighs 7,021 lb (3,185 kg), runs on 52.8 to 79.2 GPM at 2,320 to 2,610 psi, and delivers 290 to 400 blows per minute through 6.69 in (170 mm) working steel. It is the largest model in the FHB Series. The Quick Switch Valve is standard, the automatic Smart Stroke System is optional, and the solid body has no thru-bolts.

PERFORMANCE SPOTLIGHT
What is new in the FHB45?
Our unique design gives us an excellent power to weight ratio for lower maintenance and increased performance. This solid body concept eliminates thru-bolts which has reduced the breaker weight but does not affect our impact energy. This makes for much better control for the operator, less wear and tear on the excavator and reduced fuel costs.
The FHB45 Qtv offers improved durability, with features that include a square, mono-block body design for superior strength. The elimination of thru-bolts also reduces maintenance and failure. A patent pending dust prevention system incorporates grooves to trap contaminates on the upstroke and expel them on the piston down stroke, while a cushion ring acts as a secondary trap. This improves the life of the piston, bushings and working steel.
Operators appreciate performance features that include a new valve design to reduce hydraulic fluid temperatures. A redesigned piston enhances surface contact to working steel, while a larger bushing surface keeps it aligned for greater impact. A replaceable cylinder liner increases tool life and reduces time-consuming maintenance. The unique one-piece enclosure and dampening system reduces noise levels for use in noise sensitive environments. A higher back head pressure and larger piston diameter increases impact performance by 20% over previous models.
The FHB45 ships in FRD’s Qtv cradle, a low-noise protective housing that accepts a wide range of top caps. The FHB Series builds on FRD’s Fx Series, keeps its solid body without thru-bolts, and adds new stroke control, updated stop pins and rod pins, a three-point dust intake prevention system, and a valve design that lowers hydraulic oil temperature.
All FRD USA hammers come complete with our exclusive Pro-Pak for ease of installation. The Pro-Pak includes hose whips, mounting hardware, standard working steel and tool kit with operating manual at no additional charge.
