Merit High-Performance Housing (Cloche) – Compatible with Epiroc SB302
The Merit CLOCHE (Hammer Housing/Casing) for the EPIROC / BRH SB302 is a high-durability shell engineered to protect the internal percussion mechanism of your hydraulic breaker. Designed for the compact yet powerful SB series, this housing is built to withstand the intense vibrations and abrasive environments typical of urban demolition, trenching, and landscaping.

Key Features of the Merit SB302 Housing
The housing is the “backbone” of the breaker. The Merit CLOCHE for SB302 offers several engineering advantages:
1. Robust Structural Integrity
Manufactured from high-tensile, wear-resistant steel, this casing protects the hydraulic cylinder and piston from external impacts and debris. It ensures that the internal components remain aligned, even during heavy lateral stress.
2. Vibration and Noise Dampening
The Merit design incorporates precise mounting points for dampening elements. This reduces the noise levels on the job site and minimizes the vibrations transferred to the excavator’s boom, protecting your carrier’s pins and bushings.
3. Slim Design for Tight Spaces
True to the SB (Solid Body) concept, this housing maintains a slim profile. It allows operators to work efficiently in narrow trenches and confined demolition sites without sacrificing the protection of the breaker’s “heart.”
Why Replace Your SB302 Housing?
Over time, the housing can suffer from structural fatigue, cracks, or severe abrasion at the bottom (near the tool). Replacing a damaged CLOCHE is essential to:
- Prevent Internal Damage: A warped housing can cause internal misalignment.
- Maintain Safety: Ensures the breaker stays securely attached to the bracket.
- Increase Resale Value: A well-maintained exterior reflects a well-cared-for machine.
Technical Highlights
- Precision Bolt Holes: Matches OEM specifications for quick and easy installation of the side plates and bracket.
- Corrosion Protection: Finished with a high-durability industrial coating to prevent rust.
- Impact Resistance: Bottom-end reinforcement to handle the “ground-contact” wear typical of the SB302.
Maintenance Tip: Regularly check the mounting bolts of the SB302 Cloche. Constant vibration can loosen fasteners; ensuring they are torqued to specification will prevent premature wear on the housing and the excavator’s hitch.
