Hydraulic Breakers

A hydraulic breaker is a powerful demolition tool designed to break through tough materials like concrete, rock, and asphalt.

Excavator-mounted hydraulic breakers, such as those from Epiroc and Kubota, are commonly used in construction, quarrying, and demolition projects where heavy impact force is needed.

Handheld hydraulic breakers from Atlas Copco are better suited for road maintenance, utility work, and smaller demolition jobs where portability is important and space is too tight for an excavator.

By converting hydraulic power into high-impact energy, breakers save time and reduce the need for manual labour, making them a cost-effective choice for contractors and operators across the UK.

At BTE Plant Sales, we supply two main types of hydraulic breakers: excavator-mounted breakers from Epiroc and Kubota, and handheld breakers from Atlas Copco.

The excavator breakers are available in different sizes to suit everything from mini excavators to large tracked machines, offering maximum efficiency in heavy-duty breaking and demolition.

Our handheld breakers are compact, easy to transport, and perfect for smaller tasks such as breaking pavements, trench work, and utility installations. T

his wide choice ensures you can find the right hydraulic breaker for your specific application, whether you need portable precision or large-scale power.

Not every hydraulic breaker can be fitted to every excavator – it depends on the size, hydraulic capacity, and compatibility of the machine.

At BTE Plant Sales, we stock Epiroc breakers and Kubota breakers designed to fit a wide range of excavators, from compact models to heavy-duty machines.

Choosing the correct breaker ensures maximum efficiency, prevents unnecessary wear, and protects your excavator from damage.

Our team can advise on the best match for your machine, ensuring you get the right balance of power, performance, and longevity. We also provide full installation support and aftersales service for peace of mind.

Epiroc hydraulic breakers are known for their reliability, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology.

They provide high impact energy while reducing vibration, noise, and fuel consumption, making them more productive and cost-effective than many alternatives.

With models to suit excavators of all sizes, they’re ideal for demolition, trenching, quarrying, and construction work. Epiroc also designs their breakers with fewer moving parts, lowering maintenance requirements and extending service life.

When fitted to an excavator, an Epiroc breaker allows operators to take on demanding jobs quickly and safely, maximising productivity while minimising downtime.

Like all hydraulic tools, hydraulic breakers need regular maintenance to stay in peak condition.

This includes checking hydraulic hoses and connections, monitoring oil quality, greasing moving parts, and inspecting tools for wear.

Epiroc, Kubota and Atlas Copco hydraulic breakers are designed with durability in mind, but routine servicing helps extend their working life and prevents downtime.

At BTE Plant Sales, we provide genuine parts, expert servicing, and mobile support to keep your breaker operating reliably. Regular maintenance not only protects your investment but also ensures consistent performance on demanding UK construction and demolition sites.

Modern hydraulic breakers are designed with efficiency in mind, reducing fuel consumption and noise emissions compared to older models.

Epiroc excavator breakers incorporate energy recovery systems that increase performance while lowering environmental impact.

Atlas Copco handheld breakers are also engineered for quieter, more efficient operation, making them suitable for urban environments and residential areas.

Choosing the right breaker can help reduce jobsite disruption, lower fuel usage, and support more sustainable construction practices.

By investing in newer, efficient hydraulic breakers from trusted brands like Epiroc, Kubota and Atlas Copco, operators benefit from both productivity and eco-conscious performance.
