What is a Concrete Breaker?
A concrete breaker is a powerful hydraulic hammer attachment fitted to an excavator, designed for breaking and demolishing tough materials quickly and efficiently.
Also known as excavator breakers, hydraulic hammers, peckers, hoe rams or hoe rammers, these attachments are essential tools across demolition, construction and groundworks projects.
Applications for Concrete Breakers
Hydraulic concrete breakers are ideal for breaking:
- Reinforced concrete structures
- Rock and stone
- Asphalt and road surfaces
- Brickwork and masonry
Their high-impact energy makes them suitable for both heavy-duty demolition and more controlled breaking tasks in confined areas.
Built for Performance
Concrete Breakers provide power, versatility and optimum performance for your projects and are ideal for use in the demolition, construction, quarrying industries and ideal for smaller landscaping, paving and road working projects.
Whether you’re removing concrete slabs, breaking out foundations or tackling rock excavation, an excavator-mounted hydraulic breaker increases productivity while reducing manual labour.
How Concrete Breakers Work
A hydraulic concrete breaker is powered by the hydraulics in the excavator to which it is fitted. This delivers high-impact energy through a piston-driven mechanism, producing the force required to fracture hard materials efficiently.
