As outlined by Construction Equipment in their article, “How to Specify a Hydraulic Breaker”, hydraulic breakers are advancing with smarter technology, making them essential for infrastructure projects. With the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) driving increased demand, these tools are crucial for demolishing old bridges, breaking outdated pavement, and clearing sites for new construction.
Selecting the right hydraulic breaker requires careful matching between the hammer, carrier, and application. Key considerations include:
- Machine weight and stability – The carrier must have the proper operating weight and boom geometry for balance.
- Hydraulic flow characteristics – Operating pressure, hydraulic flow rate, and auxiliary flow rate must align with the breaker’s specifications.
- Job-specific factors – The type of material being broken, project timelines, and budget constraints influence breaker selection.
