In the demanding world of heavy construction and mining, equipment durability and uptime are the keys to profitability. For excavators in the 18–26 ton range, the HWX1400 Hydraulic Breaker stands out as a powerhouse of productivity. By integrating an advanced Automatic Greasing System, this 20-ton class hammer eliminates the most common cause of premature failure: improper lubrication.

- The Game-Changer: Integrated Automatic Greasing System
Manual greasing is often neglected on busy jobsites, leading to friction-induced heat, rapid wear of the chisel, and damage to the inner bushings.
Continuous Protection: The side-mounted automatic pump delivers a consistent, measured amount of high-temperature molybdenum grease to the tool and bushings whenever the breaker is in operation.
Zero Downtime: Operators no longer need to stop work every two hours to grease the tool manually. This adds up to significantly more working hours per day.
Precision Delivery: Unlike manual greasing, which can be messy and wasteful, the auto-system ensures the “golden amount” of lubricant is applied, reducing grease consumption while maximizing component life.
- Key Features of the HWX1400
Massive Impact Power: With a 140mm diameter chisel, the HWX1400 is engineered for high-energy impact, capable of breaking through reinforced concrete and hard rock with ease.
Heavy-Duty Box Housing: As seen in our latest production batches (available in signature Yellow, Red, and Sleek Black), the reinforced housing protects the power cell and reduces noise and vibration.
Precision-Machined Piston: Manufactured from high-grade alloy steel and heat-treated to perfection, the piston delivers a powerful strike while maintaining a perfect seal to prevent oil leaks.
Universal Compatibility: Designed to fit seamlessly with 20-ton excavators from major brands such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, Sany, XCMG, and Volvo.
- Advantages for the End-User
Reduced Maintenance Costs: By ensuring the chisel and bushings are always lubricated, the lifespan of these wear parts is extended by up to 50%, saving thousands in replacement costs.
Higher Resale Value: Machines equipped with automatic lubrication systems are better maintained and command higher prices in the used equipment market.
Consistent Performance: Proper lubrication reduces internal friction, allowing the breaker to maintain its maximum BPM (Blows Per Minute) throughout the shift.
- Diverse Applications
The HWX1400 is a versatile tool built for the toughest environments:
Quarrying & Mining: Primary and secondary breaking of hard stone.
Infrastructure Projects: Breaking old bridge foundations and heavy road surfaces.
Demolition: Total or partial demolition of reinforced concrete structures.
Trenching: Digging through rocky soil for utility lines and pipelines.
- Customization & OEM Support
As a leading manufacturer, we provide tailored solutions for global distributors:
Color Customization: Match your fleet or brand identity (Yellow, Red, Black, and more).
Mounting Plates: Customized brackets for standard pins or various quick-hitch systems.
Branding: Professional nameplate and logo service for OEM partners.
Conclusion The HWX1400 with Automatic Lubrication is not just a tool; it is a smart investment in operational efficiency. By automating the most critical maintenance task, we empower operators to focus on what they do best: getting the job done.
Who needs it most?
Mining & Quarrying: Continuous 10-hour shifts where stopping for maintenance costs money.
Rental Companies: Renters rarely take care of equipment. AGS ensures the hammer survives the rental period even if the operator is lazy.
High-Heat Environments (Middle East/Africa): In 50°C heat, grease thins out quickly. Constant replenishment via AGS is mandatory.

Success Story: How the HWX1400 Saved a High-Stakes Demolition Project in Texas
The Challenge: A Race Against the Clock When Mark, the fleet manager of a major infrastructure firm in Texas, took on a highway bridge demolition project, he knew the schedule was tight. His team was facing reinforced concrete columns that were tougher than expected. To make matters worse, his old hammers were constantly overheating, and the manual greasing required every two hours was eating into their precious working time.
“We were losing nearly an hour of productivity every day just on maintenance,” Mark recalled. “I needed a tool that was powerful enough to crack the concrete but smart enough to take care of itself.”
The Solution: The HWX1400 with Integrated Auto-Lubrication After consulting with our technical team, Mark decided to upgrade to the HWX1400 (20-ton class) Hydraulic Breaker. He chose the Sleek Black Box Housing (as shown in the photo) to match his Cat 320 excavator.
The deciding factor? Our Automatic Greasing System. Instead of stopping the machine, the HWX1400 delivers a consistent flow of high-performance molybdenum grease to the chisel and bushings while the operator keeps working.
The Result: 20% More Uptime and Zero Breakdowns The impact was immediate.
Power: The 140mm diameter chisel sliced through the high-density concrete like a hot knife through butter.
Efficiency: By eliminating manual greasing stops, the crew gained an extra 45–60 minutes of “striking time” per shift.
Durability: After three weeks of double-shift work, the inner bushings showed minimal wear, thanks to the constant lubrication.
“The HWX1400 didn’t just meet our expectations; it crushed them,” Mark said. “The automatic greasing is a game-changer for high-intensity jobs. We finished the project four days ahead of schedule, and the hammer still looks and performs like it’s brand new.”
