What We Repair
Built for
demolition.
Rebuilt for the
next job.
A hydraulic breaker, also called a hydraulic hammer, is a heavy-duty excavator, backhoe, or skid steer attachment used to break concrete, rock, asphalt, and other hard materials.
These tools operate under extreme pressure and impact loads. Over time, seals degrade, pistons wear, nitrogen pressure drops, and cycling becomes unreliable. Our Chino shop disassembles, inspects, rebuilds, and tests the breaker so it leaves ready for work.
Common Failures
Breaker Problems We Repair
Loss of Impact Force
Worn pistons, damaged diaphragms, or low nitrogen pre-charge can reduce blow energy. We rebuild the percussion mechanism to restore power.
Hydraulic Fluid Leaks
We replace seals and O-rings with OEM-grade materials rated for the operating pressure of your breaker model.
Won’t Cycle
Intermittent striking may point to a stuck control valve, contamination, or failed accumulator. We inspect and test the full system.
Excessive Vibration
Worn bushings, loose retainer systems, and damaged through-bolts can quickly damage both breaker and carrier.
Tool Won’t Lock
We inspect retainer pins, stop pins, chisel bushings, and the full tool retention system.
Nitrogen Pressure Loss
We recharge and test nitrogen pressure to manufacturer specifications for your specific breaker.
