How it Works

The process of splitting rocks and concrete using an excavator-mounted hydraulic rock splitter typically involves the following steps:

1. The excavator operator positions the hydraulic rock splitter in the desired location.
2. The operator activates the hydraulic pump, which generates pressure.
3. The pressure is directed to a specialized nozzle or attachment.
4. The nozzle or attachment is positioned on the rock or concrete.
5. The operator applies pressure to the nozzle or attachment, causing the rock or concrete to split into smaller pieces 1.

Benefits

Excavator-mounted hydraulic rock splitters offer several benefits:

1. Increased Efficiency: These rock splitters can split rocks and concrete faster and more efficiently than traditional methods.
