Get the Most Out of Your Excavator with a Rock Breaker 

Our excavator-mounted rock breakers are engineered to endure the most demanding operating conditions. To optimise the use of your excavator equipped with a rock breaker, adhere to these key guidelines:

• Apply sufficient thrust to effectively penetrate the ground. Excessive thrust, however, can transmit vibrations through the tracks and should be avoided.
• Ensure the direction of the thrust is consistently applied in a straight line.
• Operate the breaker at the proper engine rate as specified by the original equipment manufacturer.
• The rock breaker is designed for operation on hard ground; avoid using it in water or muddy conditions.
• Do not use the rock breaker in a levering motion, as this may damage the equipment.
• Regulate the duration of equipment use, and perform tasks intermittently to minimise hydraulic temperature.
• For optimal working efficiency, shift the impact point of the rock breaker from the edge to the center of the material.
