TocDem UTILITY & DEMOLITION HYDRAULIC BREAKERSFOR EXCAVATORS

Once we have received payment & the specifications of your Digger, so that we can manufacture the head bracket/hanger, we can usually deliver anywhere in the UK within 1 – 2 business days.

We only accept payment via bank transfer. After placing an order, we will send you an invoice with our bank details.

We offer a full 2-year warranty on all new TocDem Attachments.

Yes, our engineering department can gladly manufacture and supply head brackets/hangers only. We need the “drill pattern”, and make and model of your breaker and the Excavator you are using it with.

There are typically five main steps in the process to get a Excavator Hydraulic Hammers to work. The steps are listed below, with brief explanations of how each step is crucial to the process.

First, the piston rises.

When the pressure enters at high speed, the chamber is faced with the lower side of the piston. This allows the directions of the flow to change. This combination allows the two to work together to reverse the movement of the piston, applying force and speed. Gradually the piston will move upwards and compress the gas sealed within its chamber. The second step is that the valve rises.

As the piston rises, the oil flows into the chamber. The result of this causes the valve to start rising. This is due to the difference in area between the upper and the lower faces of the valve.

The third step is that the piston descents.

After the valve rises, the high pressure enters the chamber. This allows for the piston the reverse as it begins its descent. The speed is increased during this descent due to the pressure of the gas from the chamber.

Fourth: the impact.

As the piston strikes the chisel with extreme acceleration, the created impact forces the pressure to increase. The oil goes through the chamber and is changed into low pressure. At the same time, the chamber remains at a constant high pressure. The combination of this high and low-pressure forces the valve to lower.

Lastly, the continuous striking.

After the valve makes its entire descent, the chisel continues its motion through continuous striking. This is the final step for the Hydraulic Hammer / Pecker / Breaker to function correctly.

There are multiple risks you should watch out for when using these tools, these include:

• Flying debris, such as rock chunks
• Leaking hydraulic fluid, which can pierce the skin
• Pinch points
• Damage to the breaker and the carrier machine
• Eye and ear damage from loud noise and flying debris
• Hitting gas and electrical lines if using the breaker to loosen dirt
• Inhaling excessive dust or other harmful materials in the air

One of the best ways to keep yourself safe on the job when using a Hydraulic Breaker Hammers is to use common sense. Be aware of what is happening around you and potential hazards. That goes a long way towards keeping you and those around you safe. As with any heavy machinery, including a hammer breaker there is plenty of risk involved.

Here are a few more tips on how you can remain safe while using these tools:

• Only run the breaker from the operator's seat.
• Wear protective gear, especially eye protection and hearing protection. There may be a lot of flying rock and debris in the air.
• Be mindful of pinch points when attaching/detaching the breaker.
• Make sure you have the right type and size of breaker.
• Make sure you operate perpendicular to the material surface.
• Never hit the same spot for more than 15 seconds.
• Never use the head as a pry bar or to move chunks of rock.
• Stop operation immediately if you spot issues such as the hydraulic hoses rattling violently, the head ceasing to move, or hydraulic oil leaking.
• Work from the edges of the object, never start in the centre.
