Rock Breaker for skid steer hire

Rock Breaker

A hydraulic breaker delivers repeated impact through a tool to fracture rock or concrete. The hammer, loader mounting and hydraulic circuit must be matched for the work.

When to choose it

  • Breaking concrete paths, slabs and footings
  • Breaking suitable rock in compact work areas
  • Reducing oversize pieces before removal

When it’s not the right call

  • Prying with the tool. A breaker is not a lever. Use the approved hammering method and tool.
  • Tight noise or vibration limits. Impact breaking needs site assessment, monitoring and debris controls around sensitive receivers.
  • Heavy reinforcement. Concrete with substantial reo may need separate cutting or processing.

Sizes we work with

The size depends on your machine and the job. Share the carrier make and model, material and dimensions so we can check the setup.

Using your own machine or hiring ours? Include that in your enquiry.

The Right Setup Starts Here

Tell us what you need to get done. A few key details about your job help us specify, configure and commission the right attachment for your machine, application and site requirements.

  • Material: Rock or concrete, thickness and reinforcement.
  • Breaking: Volume, required fragment size and removal method.
  • Site limits: Structures, services, noise, vibration and dust restrictions.
  • Your machine: Make, model, mounting plate, rated operating capacity and relevant hydraulic or electrical controls.

Common questions

What can a skid steer rock breaker break?

Concrete paths, slabs, footings and suitable rock in compact work areas.

Can a skid steer breaker work near buildings?

Breaking creates vibration, noise and debris. Limits and separation distances need assessment.

Will a breaker suit any skid steer?

No. Flow, pressure and return lines must match the hammer.

Skid steer breaker or excavator hammer?

A skid steer suits compact access; larger breaking needs an excavator-mounted hammer.

Will a rock breaker fit my skid steer or track loader?

Send us the machine make and model, mounting plate details and hydraulic flow and pressure. The rock breaker's weight, the loader's rated operating capacity and any electrical controls also need to match. We check the combination before it mobilises so it arrives ready to work.
