Hydraulic Hammers FAQ

What are hydraulic hammers used for?

Hydraulic hammers, also known as hydraulic breakers, are designed to break tough materials such as concrete, rock, asphalt, foundations, and reinforced structures. They are commonly used in demolition, construction, roadwork, quarrying, trenching, and site preparation where powerful, controlled impact is required.

How do I choose the right hydraulic hammer for my excavator?

Choosing the correct hydraulic hammer depends on your excavator’s operating weight, hydraulic flow, operating pressure, and the type of material you’ll be breaking. Selecting the proper size ensures maximum performance, reduces wear on your machine, and extends the life of the attachment. Our specialists are happy to help you find the ideal match for your equipment.

Are hydraulic hammers compatible with all excavators?

Most hydraulic hammers are designed to fit a wide range of excavator makes and models, provided the machine meets the required hydraulic specifications. Mounting brackets and hydraulic connections can often be configured to suit your specific equipment, ensuring a secure and efficient installation.

How can I extend the life of my hydraulic hammer?

Regular maintenance is essential for reliable performance. Keeping the tool properly lubricated, inspecting bushings and wear components, using the correct hydraulic settings, and avoiding practices such as blank firing will help maximize service life and reduce downtime.
