Rock Breaker & Concrete Breaker for Hire

Got concrete to break or hard ground to dig through? The Allways Hire rock breaker, also known as a concrete breaker, is a hydraulic attachment that fits diggers from 1.7T to 10T and turns your excavator into a powerful demolition tool. It delivers fast, high-impact blows that break up concrete slabs, rock and compacted ground far quicker than a handheld jack hammer, and with far less effort.

The breaker attaches directly to the hitch on your digger, just like any other standard attachment, making it quick and easy to swap out. It runs off a single acting hydraulic circuit, so you may need to switch from a double acting to a single acting circuit before use; our team can talk you through this when you book. Because it suits a wide range of digger sizes, it works equally well on tight residential sites with a 1.7T mini excavator and on larger commercial jobs with a 10T machine. 

No special licence is needed to operate the breaker, although you should be confident operating the digger it is fitted to. The attachment is hire ready from our Hastings and Napier branches, with delivery and pickup available across Hawke’s Bay. Enquire now to match the right breaker to your digger.

FAQs

What size digger does the rock breaker suit?

Our rock breaker hire suits diggers from 1.7T right up to 10T, so it covers everything from a mini excavator on a tight residential site to a 10T machine on a larger commercial job. When you enquire, tell us the size of your digger and we will match the right breaker to it, including the correct hitch plate.

Is a rock breaker the same as a concrete breaker?

Yes. A rock breaker and a concrete breaker are the same hydraulic attachment, which is why you will see it called either name. It is also sometimes referred to as a hydraulic hammer or an excavator jack hammer. Whatever you call it, the job is the same: breaking rock, concrete and other hard materials.

What hydraulics do I need to run the breaker?

The breaker runs off a single acting hydraulic circuit. If your digger is currently set up with a double acting circuit, you may need to switch it to single acting before use. Our team can talk you through this when you book the breaker hire so the attachment runs correctly on your machine.

Do I need a licence to use the rock breaker?

No special licence is required to operate the rock breaker itself. You should, however, be confident operating the digger it is fitted to, since the attachment is controlled through the machine. The breaker attaches directly to the hitch on your digger, just like any other standard attachment, so it is quick and easy to fit and swap out.
