The new HM25LV from JCB uses patented JCB technology to reduce hand arm vibration (HAV) on operators while increasing the power of the machine through the use of a powerful new power cell.

The JCB HM22 and HM25 handheld breakers were already recognised as the safest in their class in terms of HAV. Vibration levels on competing machines are higher than the HM25LV figure, at around 7m/s2.

Operators can now safely use the machine for a full eight-hour working day without risk of exceeding recommended Hand Arm Vibration levels.
