The Top 8 Accessories You Might Purchase Along with a Hydraulic Hammer

A hydraulic hammer is a huge purchase. Companies that make an investment in hydraulic hammers are doing so because they need this important piece of equipment to get their work done. The hammer itself does a bulk of that work. However, many people who purchase a hydraulic hammer will also purchase one or more accessories to go along with their hydraulic hammer.

Here’s a look at the Top 8 accessories that are commonly purchased by people who purchase Maverick Hammers:

1. Hammer Stand. Hydraulic hammers have to be stored when they aren’t in use. Many people choose to purchase a hammer stand for their hydraulic hammer. This stand allows them to store their hammer upright in order to protect it from damage. This is definitely a smart accessory to buy since it makes your Maverick Hammer last longer!

2. Auto Greaser. An auto greaser is a tool that does exactly what its name says it does; it automatically greases up your equipment for you. People who buy Maverick Hammers sometimes choose to get an auto greaser to keep their hammers lubed up and in top working condition. Of course, you can grease your hydraulic hammers manually but why do that when you can get a tool that will do it for you?

3. Auto Greaser Bracket. People who get an auto greaser typically also buy an auto greaser bracket to go along with it.

4. Nitrogen Tank. Some of the power for your hydraulic hammer comes from the energy of high-impact pressurized nitrogen. Some people opt to buy a nitrogen tank to use with their hydraulic hammers.

5. Charging Kit. The charging kit is used in some cases in conjunction with the nitrogen tank.

6. Hydraulic Hoses. Maverick Hammers are durable but sometimes the wear and tear on the machines can cause leaks in the hydraulic hoses. We offer service and repair options but some people like to do the work themselves. In this case, they’ll buy the hydraulic hoses that they need for replacement.

7. Tool Kit. People who do work on their hydraulic hammers themselves often need to buy a new tool kit with the right tools that they need for working on Maverick Hammers.

8. Touch Up Paint. Believe it or not, one of the most common accessories that people buy when they buy Maverick Hammers is a little bit of touch-up paint.

Being Green in the Hydraulic Hammer Business

One of the most important things that a business can be right now is environmentally-conscious. Any business should do what it can to limit the negative impact that it has on the earth. This is easier in some businesses than in others. Being green in the hydraulic hammer business (and the demolition business in general) isn’t as easy as being green in other types of businesses. After all, demolition is all about the disruption of the earth and the structures on it. Nevertheless, a forward-thinking demolition company will find ways to make sure that they are as green as possible. Maverick Hammers is an example of this type of forward-thinking company.

Here’s a brief overview of the ways in which Maverick Hammers strives to be a green business:

• We offer the most modern equipment available. Today’s hydraulic hammers are considerably more eco-friendly than the hammers of the past. They produce less pollution than older hammers. They also create less noise pollution. By manufacturing the most modern equipment available, we make sure that we reduce the negative impact of that equipment as much as possible.

• We use durable materials. One of the biggest contributors to waste in this industry is the amount of equipment that has to be replaced too quickly because it wasn’t built well in the first place. We use durable materials and quality construction to make sure that Maverick Hammers are hammers that last. We also offer repairs and service for our products. This means that you don’t throw out our hammers after a short time and get new ones and that in turn means that total waste is reduced.

• We’re a U.S. based manufacturing company. Another way that the earth is damaged by the construction and demolition industry is through globe-wide shipping practices. Many companies have their parts and products manufactured in foreign countries which means that there is a lot of transportation waste between nations. By staying within the U.S. we are able to reduce the amount of shipping that takes place and thereby reduce the company’s use of gas and other transportation energy as compared to what we would use if we relied on foreign manufacturing.

• We stay educated about the issues. Green issues are important and new information about these issues are arising all of the time. By making sure that we stay educated about these issues, we can do our best to regularly change our behavior to consistently get greener as a company. Our commitment to being flexible as needed helps us achieve this.

There are a variety of different green issues in the demolition industry. (A common one is the issue of how to recycle and dispose of waste that occurs during a demolition project.) Maverick Hammers is a company that does what it can to contribute solutions in terms of our part of the demolition process.

Facts and Stats About Buying Hydraulic Hammers

Are you in the market to purchase a hydraulic hammer for a demolition project? You might be interested in learning some of the facts and statistics behind these purchases. Check out this interesting information that you might not already know about hydraulic hammer purchases:

• Brand doesn’t matter. Do you always buy the same brand of hydraulic hammer? If so then you’re in the majority but just barely. Forty four percent of hammer purchases are purchased from a dealer who is not the customer’s predominant brand dealer. What this means is that you should shop around for the best deal on a good hydraulic hammer rather than simply choosing by brand name. Maverick Hammers consistently offers some of the lowest prices on these hammers which you should notice when you start to shop around.

• Customer service and tech support do matter. You don’t want to pay too much attention to a brand to figure out which hydraulic hammer to buy. However, you do want to pay attention to the reputation that a company has for good customer service and tech support. Overwhelmingly customers report that those things do matter!

• You’ll probably also buy a machine. Of course, you can buy hydraulic hammers alone but there’s a good chance that you’re going to buy a machine with your purchase. Research indicates that sixty eight percent of all hammer sales include a machine and seventy seven percent of customers who buy a hammer will buy a machine within two years. This is something to take into consideration when you’re doing your hammer shopping.

• Hydraulic hammers haven’t been around that long. Did you know that we didn’t really start to use this important type of machinery until the 1960’s?!

• New hydraulic hammers are a green choice. That’s right, if you’re using modern hydraulic hammers then you’re being more environmentally-conscious than if you use some of the older machines that are still available. That’s because they generate less pollution as well as less noise than the older models.

You may not realize it but the choices that you make when you purchase hydraulic hammers affect the entire history of this industry. What you buy impacts the facts and statistics related to demolition equipment. Choose wisely!

The Major Benefits of Maverick Hammers

Someone recently asked us what makes Maverick Hammers better than the competition. This blog has already mentioned a few reasons that people prefer our hydraulic hammers to the competition. Here’s a more comprehensive look at the benefits of choosing Maverick Hammers:

• They’re simply designed. There are only two moving parts in our smaller models and three moving parts in our larger models. This means that the machines are easy to use and less likely to break down over time. They’re also simple to assemble, disassemble and repair as needed.

Our tools are normalized for long-lasting extra strength durability. There are many different aspects of our tools that add to this durability. For example, our super alloy steel cylinder is dispersion-hardened for enhanced durability and our (sy) carbon alloy backhead is built to withstand extreme force over time.

• We offer great additional features. For example, our models HSP4750 and larger all have anti-dust features, an auto-greasing system and an infinitely adjustable frequency.

• We offer a three-year warranty. Learn more about the importance of a warranty here.

• Our parts are always available. Sometimes when you order from places, you have to wait awhile before you get your parts. We have twenty-four hour parts availability. If you place your order by 3 p.m. EST then you’re going to receive it the next morning. This means that there’s never a delay in getting what you need from us.

• We are a U.S. manufacturer. Many people underestimate the importance of being a U.S.-based company. It’s beneficial to everyone to buy locally-manufactured products. Learn more about that issue here.

• You get all of this at a fair price. In fact, we offer the highest rental ROI and our hammers cost up to forty percent less than most other major brands. You get what you need at a price that’s actually really good.

We think that these are all great reasons to choose Maverick Hammers over the competition. However, we’re always open to hearing your thoughts. What else would you like to see from our hammers?

The Importance of Offering a Warranty

All customers are familiar with the idea of a warranty. A warranty allows the customer to make a purchase that he may otherwise be unsure of because it lets him try out the product with very few risks. Businesses may offer warranties to convince sure unsure customers that it’s worth it to try out their products. However, a warranty is more than just a way of enticing potential buyers to become your customers. A warranty is also a promise that the business makes to its customers. A warranty is something that a good business offers in order to establish trust.

The purpose of a warranty is to let the customer know exactly what to expect from the product that he or she is buying. It is a promise to the customer that he’ll get what it is that he wants from the product. It’s a guarantee that if he doesn’t get what he wants then he’s going to be able to get his money back or to get the product repaired in a way that will make the product more to his satisfaction. When businesses offer warranties, they are telling the customer, “I promise to be honest in my dealings with you” and they detail how they’re going to do that.

Maverick Hammers believes in the value of the warranty. We believe that we offer great products that customers are going to be happy to have. We believe in this so much that we promise our customers that they’ll get what they were told they’ll get or they’ll have a warranty in place to protect them. Offering a product warranty is one of the ways that we try to build trust with our customers. Honoring our warranties helps us to maintain that trust.

One example of a transaction with a customer that occurred recently was the purchase of 8 Maverick Hammers by Arturo Barranco Maquinaria of Mexico for the company's rental fleet. This company purchased a variety of our hammers ranging from 1,000 ft lbs to 6,000 ft lbs. They chose Maverick Hammer models 1500HSP, 4750HSP, 5250HSP and 8250HSP to expand the fleet. Their purchase comes along with a three year warranty. This is our promise to the company that they’ll get what they ordered and that they’ll be able to use it as intended for at least three years. It is our promise that we will do our best to make sure that our customers are happy. That’s what a warranty is really all about.

Each Business is Part of a Bigger Picture

As a customer, you may often forget about the big chain of events that takes place before you purchase a product. As a business owner, you are never able to forget about that chain of events. That’s because if you forget about it, your customers are going to suffer. Then the customer will be left thinking about a chain of events that they really don’t want to be bothered with.

Imagine for a moment that you are a residential customer who is interested in redesigning the landscape of your yard using decorative stones and gravel. You want to be able to find a business that supplies what you need at a fair price. You want to be able to place your order and to receive your decorative rocks in a timely manner. You certainly don’t want to have to be bothered with thinking about how the rocks are going to get from the business to you or how they got to the place of business to begin with. As a customer, you shouldn’t have to worry about those things.

As a business owner, however, you would be concerned about making sure that every step in the chain happens properly so that you can deliver the stones to your customer as she desires. This means that you would want to work with delivery trucks and product suppliers that hold up their part of the supply chain by providing high-quality products and services. If they don’t do so then you’re in trouble with your customers. Let’s say that the company that makes the hydraulic hammers to mine the stones makes a faulty product so the stones aren’t mined in a timely manner and therefore you are delayed in getting them to your customer. Your customer isn’t going to care about the break in the chain; she’s only going to care about the fact that you didn’t get your part of the job done by delivering her stones to her.

This isn’t just an imaginary scenario. Our customers rely on us to make sure that we hold up our part of the supply chain so that their customers are also satisfied. One real-life example of such a customer is Baer Aggregates. This Phillipsburg, New Jersey company provides crushed stones and decorative gravel to customers who want these products. They purchased a Maverick Hammer model 9250 HSP for their CAT 345BL excavator. The high quality of this hydraulic hammer combined with the service that we have provided to Baer Aggregates have insured that this company has had no down time for six months. This translates to six months of satisfied customers.

One of the things that we always keep in mind is that we aren’t just a business that works in a vacuum. We work with other businesses and everyone has to do their part to keep things running smoothly. That’s why we do our best to provide quality products and service to our customers. And it’s why we in turn get our services from businesses that can hold up their part of the bargain. Without any weak links in it, our chain of supply is strong enough to keep all customers happy – even our customers’ customers.

After all, if we know what we’re doing right then we can focus on doing it even better!

Another Maverick Hammer was recently purchased by Houghton Contracting from West Warwick, Rhode Island. The company cited three key reasons that they were motivated to add the Maverick Hammer to their fleet of products:

1. Maverick’s 24 Hour Parts Availability. A key reason that Houghton Contracting was interested in making a purchase from us is because they knew that they could place their order at any time of day or night. In addition to offering twenty four hour parts availability, we offer same day shipping. We keep our parts in stock which means that you’re going to get what you need shortly after you order it.

These are the three key reasons that Houghton Contracting was interested in making a purchase from us. These are services that we provide for all of our products. If you’re curious about what Houghton Contracting purchased, it was a Maverick Hammer model 4750 HSP. This is a terrific hydraulic hammer with awesome power; it offers 350-750 blows per minute and is in an energy class of 3500 ft. / lbs. So we’d venture to say that a fourth reason that the company wanted this product is because it’s a really solid product that can do the job they need to have done!
