Kinshofer, a manufacturer of excavator and loader crane attachments, is expanding its product line to include hydraulic breaker excavator attachments following the acquisition of Hammer SRL, an Italy based manufacturer of demolition, excavation, recycling and material handling attachments. Kinshofer chose the company because of its reputation for quality and more than 30 years of experience in the market. The new line includes 22 breakers for carriers from .5 ton to 200 tons and joins an already expansive line of Kinshofer tools.
The breakers are made up of the KSB Series for carriers from .5 ton to 12 tons and the KFX Series for weights from 8 to 200 tons. Each line includes features to improve operator comfort, reduce wear and improve longevity. The acquisition also includes a variety of grapples, buckets and more. These will serve as an alternative to Kinshofer’s attachment line for the price-restricted customer.
The Hammer management team will stay in its entirety and will continue manufacturing in Italy. Hammer and Kinshofer will add additional staff to ensure a smooth launch of Hammer’s products and services worldwide through Kinshofer’s global network.
Hammer attachments will retain branding in Europe but will be marked Kinshofer in North America.
