Manufacturer extends warranty for selected excavator attachments equipped with HATCON

EPIROC have introduced an extended warranty programme that strengthens long-term equipment reliability for customers operating in demanding demolition, construction, and rock excavation environments.

Beginning January 2026 retroactively, selected excavator attachments equipped with HATCON – Epiroc’s digital module allowing real-time monitoring of operating data – will be delivered with an extended warranty covering 36 months or a defined number of operating hours (up to 3,000h), depending on product range, whichever occurs first.

The warranty applies to: Epiroc combi cutters, concrete busters, bulk and demolition pulverizers and hydraulic compactors. It also includes all transverse drum cutters and V cutters manufactured by Epiroc and Erkat (powered by Epiroc), provided they are equipped with HATCON.

HATCON allows full transparency into actual operating hours, load and utilization patterns, and required service intervals, and other operational data, whilst Epiroc InSite acts as an integrated digital support platform, offering continuous insight into attachment performance.

The system assists operators and fleet managers with maintenance planning, early issue detection, and improved cost predictability. Together, HATCON and InSite create a data-driven foundation for granting longer warranty periods.

Reinforcing confidence in engineering and durability, Epiroc’s hydraulic attachments are engineered for longevity, with materials, geometry, and manufacturing precision all designed to withstand the mechanical stress of continuous heavy-duty use.

Epiroc say the decision to offer a warranty of up to 36 months, or the defined operating hour limits, reflects the company’s continued confidence in their products’ durability and field performance.

‘This extended warranty reflects our confidence in the engineering quality of our hydraulic attachments. By combining robust design with transparent, data-driven service planning through HATCON, we offer customers what they consistently prioritize: reliability, predictability, and peace of mind,’ said Predrag Petrovic, vice-president of hydraulic attachment tools.
