International construction equipment manufacturer Chicago Pneumatic (CP) unveiled its Red Hawk range of motor drills and breakers in July. The range is available in three options and is suitable for roads, railways and drilling applications, providing users with a range of rugged and reliable breakers.
“The Red Hawk range introduces new compact and portable solutions to CP’s portfolio of hand-held pneumatic equipment, which are suitable for applications where users change location frequently. Equipped with a petrol-powered engine instead of a conventional hose or power cable, the Red Hawk range provides users with the versatility and manoeuvrability ideal for busy or remote locations,” says CP hand-held tools spokesperson Gus Armbruster.
The Red Hawk Road is the most powerful breaker in the new range, offering high- impact energy and weighing only 22 kg. Ideal for concrete and asphalt breaking and cutting, enough impact energy is delivered to handle silica-rich rocks and reinforced concrete. An additional tamping shank enables users to repair potholes and surface damage, making the road-breaker ideal for infrastructure applications.
Designed specifically for use on and around railway tracks, the Red Hawk Rail is ideal for fast, efficient tie tamping. By offering higher frequency with less impact energy, the rail breaker ensures that limited damage is done to track ballast. Owing to the portable nature of the complete Red Hawk range, users can exit an area quickly without hoses and cables getting in the way.
Completing the range is the Red Hawk drill, offering a combined drill and breaker that is ideal for light service applications such as rock splitting, fencing work and digging into hard or frozen ground. With a range of different working tools, from cutting and breaking to driving, the Red Hawk Drill is a universal tool that offers users working in remote locations a suitable alternative to existing drills and breakers.
With 11 shank options and a trolley or carrying harness, CP has a range of accessories designed to make the Red Hawk range as versatile as possible.
