Frequently asked questions
What size excavator do I need for a 5 tonne breaker?
A 5 tonne breaker is designed to be mounted on an excavator in the 5 tonne operating weight class. The carrier must have a hammer or auxiliary hydraulic circuit with the correct flow and pressure, and the breaker must be matched to the machine’s weight and hydraulic output. 777 Hire can supply a compatible excavator alongside the breaker if required.
What can a 5 tonne breaker be used for?
A 5 tonne breaker is typically used for breaking reinforced concrete slabs and foundations, demolishing walls and small structures, road and pavement breaking and trenching in rock and hard ground. It is one of the most versatile attachments on any demolition or groundworks site.
Do I need a special hydraulic circuit to run a breaker?
Yes. The excavator needs a single-acting hammer circuit (often called a breaker or auxiliary line) providing the correct oil flow and pressure for the attachment, along with a compatible headstock or quick hitch. Let us know your carrier make and model and we will confirm compatibility and supply the correct hoses and fittings.
