If your job involves demolition, quarrying, mining, or any big construction project, a rock breaker isn't optional—it's essential. The moment you need to buy or replace one, the first question that usually pops up is: “So, how much?”
Totally fair. We get it. But here's the truth: chasing the cheapest deal might save you a few bucks upfront, but it can cost you a fortune later. A badly matched breaker, or one that breaks down too soon, can bring your whole site to a standstill. And downtime? That's the real money killer.
At BEILITE, we like to think of ourselves less as a “seller” and more as your project partner. We don't just hand you a breaker—we help you pick the right tool, back it up with solid expertise, and keep it running strong for the long haul.
So, what should you keep in mind when choosing a hydraulic hammer? Let's break it down.
The Real Cost of a Rock Breaker
That price tag you see? That's just the tip of the iceberg. The real cost includes wear parts, service, and—most importantly—downtime.
A cheap breaker often means cheap materials: softer steel, thinner housings, lower-quality bushings. Sure, you save a bit at first. But soon you'll be swapping out chisels, seals, and bolts way too often. Those costs add up fast.
Think about it: in a quarry, if the breaker goes down, the whole operation stops. One hour of unplanned downtime can burn through thousands of dollars. Suddenly that “great deal” breaker doesn't look so cheap anymore.
That's why at Beilite, we go heavy on durability:
-
Customized alloy steel (2–3x pricier than the stuff some competitors use).
-
Housing that's 10–15% thicker for fewer cracks.
-
High-strength through bolts and brackets designed to last (yep, they cost us twice as much as regular ones).
-
State-of-the-art processing equipment—arguably the most advanced in the global hydraulic breaker game.
Bottom line: we build them tough because downtime is expensive.
Match the Breaker to the Excavator
One of the biggest mistakes we see? Using the wrong size breaker.
-
Too big → overloads your excavator's hydraulics, stresses the boom, shortens machine life.
-
Too small → can't break material efficiently, wastes fuel, wastes time.
Correct matching isn't just a “nice-to-have”—it's about safety, efficiency, and machine longevity.
For example, our BLT-135 is built for 18–22 ton carriers like the Komatsu PC200 or Caterpillar 320. Everything from its weight to oil flow requirements is designed to fit that class perfectly.

The Specs That Actually Matter
Not all breakers are created equal. When comparing suppliers, pay attention to these numbers:
-
Operating Weight → Heavier usually means more robust.
-
Working Pressure → Needs to match your excavator’s hydraulic range.
-
Oil Flow (l/min) → Ensures compatibility with standard machines.
-
Impact Rate (BPM) → Determines breaking efficiency when paired with impact energy.
We keep our data transparent so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Built to Last
Inside a breaker, parts take a serious beating. A weak piston or bad weld isn’t just an inconvenience—it's a failure waiting to happen.
At Beilite, we:
-
Use heat-treated pistons for max strength and wear resistance.
-
Add a silent outer casing that cuts noise and shields the core assembly.
-
Stick to high-grade steel and precision machining—because shortcuts always show up later.
After-Sales Service That Actually Helps
Buying a breaker isn't the end of the relationship—it's the start.
We back you up with:
-
Complete seal kits and spare parts.
-
Expert support (yes, even video calls if you need troubleshooting).
-
Maintenance tips, like greasing schedules and chisel replacement guides.
Because honestly, what's the point of saving $500 upfront if your supplier ghosts you the moment you hit a problem?
