Blue Diamond Attachments introduced its new line of hydraulic breakers, designed for construction, demolition and quarry applications, including underwater jobs. The comprehensive line includes 12 models and are compatible with excavators, mini-skid, skid-steer and compact track loaders.
Blue Diamond breakers offer key features that add performance and value to landscape construction and other applications:
- 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, providing the best match for any application.
- Blue Diamond 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, eliminating the most common maintenance issue found in similar models.
- 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 is one of the quietest breakers in the industry, according to the company, significantly reducing vibration transfer to the host machine, protecting hydraulic components, pins and bushings from excessive wear while improving operator comfort.
- For maximum versatility, many of the 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,” said Drew Truan, chief operating officer at Blue Diamond Attachments. “When a one-year warranty period is the industry standard, and we offer three-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. Blue Diamond stated tools are designed to be easily interchangeable with minimal downtime, allowing operators to select and change the tool in the field without additional wrenches or keys.
