Used to break asphalt, concrete, rocks and other hard material, hydraulic breakers and hammers are common attachments used in excavation and demolition projects. When paired with a skid-steer loader, contractors are able to access tighter spaces and add more versatility to the job site while maximizing the machine's capability.

Epiroc SB202 Solid Body breaker

Epiroc's SB202 Solid Body breaker is ideal for demolishing small concrete structures and asphalt pavements, both outdoors and indoors, performing earthworks, scaling in underground operations, and cleaning ladles and converters in foundries. The Solid Body concept integrates a percussion mechanism and guide system into a single block of special cast iron, decreasing the total number of parts. It also eliminates components like damping and guiding elements and tie rods or stud bolts completely for a compact shape to simplify handling.

Bobcat's hydraulic skid steer breaker attachment

Bobcat's HB880 hydraulic breaker attachment is designed to break through concrete, rock, and asphalt with ease. The breaker delivers maximum efficiency by matching the hydraulic capacity of the skid steer to the breaker, allowing consistent machine to breaker performance. It also provides a quieter and smoother operation while still maintaining the optimal amount of blows per minute.

Bobcat's nitrogen skid steer breaker attachment 

Bobcat's line of six nitrogen breaker attachments covers compact excavators, compact track loaders, and mini track loaders, in addition to skid-steer loaders. The nitrogen breakers have minimal internal parts, a single lower bushing and easily accessible grease ports. These design features reduce the breaker's maintenance requirements and make rebuilds easier. The unique valve design of the concrete breakers lessens hydraulic pressure fluctuation, which reduces stress on the skid-steer loader's hydraulic pumps.

Caterpillar's H45S, H55S and H65S breaker attachments for skid steers can be used in a wide range of construction and light demolition applications, such as breaking concrete sidewalks and driveways, pavement, roads, masonry, site prep and landscaping, and breaking frozen ground for utility repairs. Fully enclosed, silenced housing lowers overall noise level for a quieter, safer job site, while the internal power cell is protected, designed and engineered to eliminate stress points.

A Stanley MB 156 skid steer breaker attachment.

Stanley MB Series concrete breaker attachments

Stanley's MB Series of mounted concrete breakers focuses on simplicity, easy maintenance, and powerful breaking performance. All MB breakers have only two moving parts, which means less frequent service intervals. Steel reinforcement has been added to protect the power cell and keep operations running longer. The valve design allows for a wider range of pressures and flows, lowering stress on components. Plus, the light tool weight contributes to a broader carrier range.

An Allied Rammer skid steer breaker attachment.

Allied Rammer series of compact breakers

Allied's range of small and compact hydraulic hammers are designed for any breaking application for carriers between 0.6 and 15 tons. A built-in pressure adjusting valve maintains hydraulic pressure levels to ensure that every blow delivers the maximum power possible for optimum productivity. The series also features RD3, a monitoring system that provides detailed information about the operating hours, service intervals and GPS location of the concrete breaker.
