Hydraulic Breaker Sizing Guide When selecting a hydraulic breaker, two key factors must be considered: Carrier Operating Weight 1. Based on Carrier Weight 2. Based on Type of Application ■ Small Breakers (≤1,000 ft·lb / 1350 J) Ideal for light-duty jobs like breaking concrete. ■ Medium Breakers (1,500–4,000 ft·lb / 2000–5400 J) Suited for concrete and light rock applications. ■ Large Breakers (≥4,000 ft·lb / 5400+ J) Used for hard rock and high-production requirements. 3. Application Examples ■ Breaking Oversized Material For 4 yd³ hard rock (20,000+ psi): use ≥7,500 ft·lb breaker For 2 yd³ limestone (<20,000 psi): use 3,000–5,000 ft·lb breaker ■ Trenching In medium rock (e.g., limestone): 3,000–5,000 ft·lb In hard rock: 7,500–10,000 ft·lb
