4 Leading Brands of Hydraulic Breaker & Hammer Parts

Hydraulic hammers have become a mainstay of construction projects across the world. While the equipment itself is ubiquitous, it’s not always clear where you can find hydraulic breaker and hammer parts or if you can even make repairs to the equipment once it wears out. If you’ve worked with hydraulic breakers for a long time, then you may be able to tell when you need repairs, but who can you turn to for replacement hydraulic breaker parts?
Here are a few of the brands that Hydraulic Breaker Services can be trusted to provide quality hydraulic hammers and hydraulic breaker and hammer parts to repair them with:

Allied/Rammer

Allied has been making hydraulic breakers and hydraulic hammers for decades and is, therefore, a leader in the industry. Their breaker tools fall into two categories:

  • The Excellence Series
  • The Performance Series

The Excellence Series is designed to provide excellent service coupled with unparalleled versatility. Each piece of equipment has heavy-duty housing to provide extended life while handling heavy-duty services such as excavation, slag removal, and more. Additionally, these tools are designed so that you can easily replace the hydraulic breaker and hammer parts whenever they wear out.
The Performance Series, by contrast, is designed to allow for high productivity in all spaces, including urban locales. The heavy-duty housing is specially made to allow for high-impact performance while maintaining a relatively low noise profile.

Atlas Copco

Atlas Copco is a significant manufacturer of mini excavators and other equipment that is extremely useful when handling construction jobs. They offer fourteen different hydraulic hammers that are well suited for a wide range of situations.
For example, the LH-180, a standard model for Atlas Copco, is a hydraulic breaker that works well as a multi-purpose breaker. It provides easy handling, significant power and is highly ergonomic to reduce the amount of fatigue that occurs due to its operation.

BTI/Astec

BTI has rebranded as Astec but still provides high-quality hydraulic breakers that can be used in a wide variety of construction projects.
Every one of Astec’s hydraulic breaker and hammer parts have been designed to provide compact power and precision. Astec’s equipment offers easy maintenance with easy integration of replacement parts if one of the hydraulic hammer parts wears out.

CAT

CAT is a name brand in construction circles because it is known for providing high-quality hydraulic hammers and other construction equipment. Each piece undergoes proper heat treatment to enable it to withstand the stress that a standard hydraulic hammer undergoes in the course of its everyday usage. When parts wear out, they can easily be swapped for spare parts that are kept on hand specifically for that purpose.

Does My Hydraulic Breaker Need Maintenance?

At Hydraulic Breaker Services LLC, we work hard to extend the life of our customers’ hydraulic breakers. We offer services to renew them, often even when other shops just want to sell a new one. We offer used hydraulic breakers to help you stay on target and budget. An essential part of keeping hydraulic breakers in service is keeping up with the maintenance. Do you know what the signs are that it’s time to get yours some maintenance and care?

Designed for Tough Work, Breakers Need Specific Care

Breaking through rock, concrete, asphalt, and other tough materials, hydraulic breakers fail hard when they aren’t up to the job. With that failure come potential losses in project time and costs, and the difference between a renewable breaker and one that’s beyond repair. It’s essential to make daily visual inspections a routine part of hydraulic breaker use. Items to check for overall condition, signs of wear, and damage such as cracks or gouges include:

  • Hydraulic hoses
  • Breaker shell
  • Attachment pins
  • Tool retainers and locks
  • Tool points
  • Checking Tolerances

Follow manufacturer recommendations for specific tolerance checks on the breaker. These usually include the top angle of the breaker attachment, the retaining pins, and the lower bushing. These checks help to reduce the wear on the unit and, when out of tolerance, indicate that it’s time for prompt maintenance.

Other Critical Checks to Reduce Maintenance and Damage Costs

  1. Keep up with the hose and oil pressure checks, especially right after the breaker is installed.
  2. Tool length checks help avoid direct damage to the outer casing and indirect damage from absorbing vibration and heat.
  3. Nitrogen pressure checks help avoid increased wear and damage. Watch for hopping hoses and low power as signs that maintenance is needed.
  4. Stop and call for service if there are oil leaks. Multiple protections can be degraded as the oil escapes, and damage can be quick.
