Rock breaking

Breaking rock at a tunnel face means working in a confined heading, with the hammer matched both to the rock and to the excavator carrying it. Tunnel hammers are hydraulic breakers used on compact tunnel excavators to break the face back in headings, cross-passages and shafts, and a quick-coupler lets the same machine switch to a bucket to muck out the spoil without leaving the cab.

We size the hammer to the carrier’s weight and hydraulics. Tell us the heading and the machine, and we’ll match the hammer to it.
