A breaker, also known as a hammer, pecker, or hoe ram, is a powerful percussion tool that is used for demolishing concrete or rock. They are fitted to an excavator and are powered by an auxiliary hydraulic system. They are similar in function and operation to a hand-held pneumatic drill.

Breakers are typically used for helping to demolish buildings, remove cracked pavements and roads, trenching in rock, breaking frozen ground, secondary reduction of blasted material, and so on.

There are two basic designs for mounted breakers – side-plate and boxed. Side-plate breakers use two slabs of steel secured to either side with threaded fasteners. This arrangement usually leaves the breaker’s front and back open.

Boxed breakers are where the breaker mechanism is completely surrounded by an outer casing, which acts as a shock-absorbing barrier. This type of breaker has the advantage of providing more protection from debris, they tend to be quieter, and there is a reduction in shock and vibration.

Breaker manufacturers tend to use an ‘Impact Energy Class’ rating to identify different breakers, which is usually an arbitrary number loosely based on the breaker’s weight.

Breakers can also be categorised based on the piston-firing system that it uses. The three basic types are nitrogen-gas only, hydraulic-oil only, and a combination of the two.

On a construction site, care must be taken to ensure the durability of a breaker. The working tool should be sufficiently lubricated, and cleaned for abrasive dust that can get into the lower portion of the breaker. Some breaker models are fitted with automatic lubrication systems, or a sealing system can be installed if required.
