Blue Diamond Attachments has introduced its line of hydraulic breakers, designed for construction, demolition and quarry applications, including underwater jobs. The line includes 12 models and are compatible with excavators, mini-skid, skid steer and compact track loaders.
The lineup enables contractors to select specialized breakers engineered specifically for their machines, with models available for equipment ranging from 1,500-pound mini track loaders to 55-ton class excavators. The breakers feature a solid mono-block design milled from a single piece of steel rather than assembled sections held together with tie rods that stretch.
All Blue Diamond breakers feature a unique vibration dampening system consisting of a polyurethane (poly case) shell that wraps around the mono-block and sits inside the Hardox steel outer casing. This design reduces vibration transfer to the host machine, protecting hydraulic components, pins, and bushings from excessive wear while improving operator comfort.
For maximum versatility, many models feature interchangeable mounting brackets, allowing a single breaker to be moved between different host machines including excavator to skid steer, by simply transferring the unit to a compatible mount. All Blue Diamond Breakers have a self-regulating valve that protects them from over pressurization, excessive flow and back pressure. This also increases productivity when switching between host machines or in rental applications, eliminating the need to test the machine’s hydraulic pressure and flow before operation.
The anti-blank firing means Blue Diamond Breakers will not operate unless pressure is applied to the tool. This feature prevents internal damage from dry firing while the attachment is not engaged with material.
"We believe we offer the best hydraulic breakers in the industry," says Drew Truan, chief operating officer at Blue Diamond Attachments. "When a 1-year warranty period is the industry standard, and we offer 3-year coverage, it goes to show just how confident we are in the durability and reliability of all Blue Diamond Breakers."
The hydraulic breakers feature four tool configurations – a moil point, a chisel tool, a pyramid tool and a blunt tool. Each tool type is manufactured from high-grade, heat-treated steel with precision machining to ensure proper fit and maximum energy transfer from the piston to the material being broken. Tools are easily interchangeable with minimal downtime, allowing operators to select and change the tool in the field without additional wrenches or keys.
All Blue Diamond hydraulic breakers are backed by an 3-year warranty.
