A breaker is a powerful percussion hammer that is attached to an excavator to demolish hard structures, such as rock or concrete. It is powered by the excavator's auxiliary hydraulic system, which is fitted with a foot-operated valve for this purpose. Demolition crews also use the hoe ram for jobs that are too large for jackhammering, or in areas where blasting is not possible due to safety or environmental concerns.

 

Breakers are often referred to as 'hammers', 'peckers', 'hoe rams' or 'hoe rammers'.  These terms are popular amongst construction and demolition workers. The first hydraulic breaker, the Hydraulikhammer HM 400, was invented in 1967 by the German company Krupp (now owned by Atlas Copco) in Essen.
