Powerful Concrete Breakers and Demolition Hammers for Professional Use

Concrete breakers are essential tools for professionals who need powerful, efficient and durable solutions for demanding demolition applications. Whether you are breaking concrete slabs, removing masonry or tackling asphalt surfaces, Hilti offers a range of corded and cordless breakers to tackle any job with precision and power.

What Are Concrete Breakers?

Concrete breakers, also known as demolition hammers, are high-impact power tools designed to break through tough materials such as concrete, brick, and asphalt. Unlike standard drills, these tools use a piston-driven hammer mechanism to deliver greater impact energy for heavy-duty demolition applications.

Key Features of Effective Demolition Hammers
Choosing the right breaker requires an understanding of impact energy, weight, and handling ergonomics. Hilti breakers are designed with Active Vibration Reduction (AVR), durable housing and user-friendly controls to ensure maximum efficiency and comfort.

FAQs

Can concrete breakers be used on materials other than concrete?

Although primarily designed to break concrete, many breakers can be used on materials such as asphalt, brick and stone. However, it's important to choose the right tool and attachment for the specific material to ensure efficiency and prevent damage to the equipment.

Are Hilti concrete breakers compatible with dust collection systems?

Yes, many of Hilti's breakers are designed to integrate with the TE DRS-B dust collection system, promoting a virtually dust-free jobsite. This integration helps protect users from inhaling harmful dust particles and maintains a cleaner working environment.

What maintenance is required for Hilti breakers?

Hilti concrete breakers are designed for durability and often feature maintenance-free components such as brushless motors. However, regular inspection and proper handling are recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Detailed maintenance guidelines can be found in the specific product manuals.

How do Hilti breakers compare to pneumatic breakers in terms of performance?

Hilti's electric breakers, such as the TE 3000-AVR, are designed to match or exceed the performance of traditional 99 lbs pneumatic breakers, while offering advantages such as lower weight and reduced vibration. Users have reported comparable performance with improved comfort and ease of use.

What is the problem with RAAC concrete and does it affect the use of concrete breakers?

Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) has been identified in various UK buildings, including schools and hospitals, due to concerns about its structural integrity over time. Whilst this issue relates to building materials rather than the tools themselves, professionals involved in demolition or renovation should be aware of RAAC in order to deal with it appropriately during such operations.
