ECY are now suppliers of FRD Furukawa hydraulic breakers to the UK

ECY have announced that they are now nationwide suppliers for the full range of FRD Furukawa (FRD) rock breaker attachments.

FRD are well respected in the UK but, unfortunately, have not always been afforded the back-up and service which they deserve. This is set to change now that they have teamed up with ECY, the longest-established and most experienced breaker dealers in the UK, whose support and service are widely recognized within the industry.

With more than a 130-year track record, FRD have a base of design experience that is second to none. They manufacture products in their own factories, using only the best materials and under the most stringent quality control.

Richard Yarwood, managing director at ECY, commented: ‘It’s great that we’re now a nationwide dealer for these products. We pride ourselves on being able to offer our customers the very best in demolition equipment and the FRD hydraulic breakers are definitely among them.

‘When you couple an excellent product with low-maintenance, no breakdown time and excellent support you’re definitely onto a winner.’

The benefits of FRD’s hydraulic breakers include:

High power to weight ratio – the use of high-quality materials and the highest-quality production processes results in a hammer body with less weight, yet higher output and performance.
Minimum moving parts – the fewer moving parts, the less parts will wear helping to reduce maintenance costs and downtime.
Adjustable valve – the breaker can be adjusted to any specification of the carrying excavator and to each required optimal working condition.
High reliability – the use of the quality materials and the high standards in production creates a product that will work longer and is more efficient.
Low maintenance – high-quality materials give a longer lifetime to each part, drastically reducing the total maintenance cost.
Lowest lifetime cost – over long periods, the advantages of less downtime and fewer parts to replace result in a cost per year which is the lowest in the market.
