Hydraulic hammers deliver fast, powerful strikes for breaking rock, concrete, and asphalt. RocxBreaker builds hammers for tough environments and use on mini excavators, full-size excavators, and skid steers.
How Does a Hydraulic Hammer Work?
Hydraulic hammers use pressurized hydraulic oil to move a piston up and down. Each downward stroke drives the tool into the material, producing fast, powerful blows. Some models rely only on hydraulic pressure, while gas-assisted designs give extra striking force for harder materials. RocxBreaker hammers include the gas assisted design.
What Is a Hydraulic Hammer Used For?
A hydraulic hammer attaches to your machine to deliver a strong, controlled impact to many different materials or surfaces. Common uses include:
- Trenching and utility installation.
- Concrete and rock demolition.
- Construction site prep.
- Quarry and mining work.
- Asphalt removal and road repair.
- Breaking foundations and reinforced structures.
They are ideal for both open areas and tight access situations such as within the confines of a deep trench.
