What Is a Hydraulic Hammer?
A hydraulic hammer, also known as a hydraulic breaker, is an attachment designed to be mounted onto equipment (e.g., backhoes, excavators, skid steers and stationary plants). It utilizes hydraulic pressure and flow to power the movement of a connected tool, which is used to break up objects (e.g., rocks or concrete) into smaller, more manageable pieces.
There are numerous types of hydraulic hammers available, which vary in design and size to suit different needs. This broad selection makes this type of machine a highly versatile tool; it finds use in many applications, such as construction, demolition, landscaping, mining, road building, and tunneling.
Advantages of Hydraulic Hammers
- Better versatility. Hydraulic hammers come in numerous variations, all of which can work off the same power source. This quality makes it easier for contractors to choose one that suits their projects.
- Lower investment costs. Hydraulic hammers are designed and built with durability in mind, making them a cost-effective investment. Additionally, the oil and grease used for hydraulic hammer maintenance keep the internal components lubricated, reducing the amount of upkeep needed over time to keep them up and running.
- Broader performance capabilities. Hydraulic hammers are suitable for use year-round as they can be utilized in hot or cold conditions. Additionally, if properly set up, they can be used underwater.
