Blue Diamond Attachments has launched its line of hydraulic breakers, designed for construction, demolition, and quarry applications, including underwater jobs. The comprehensive line includes 12 models that are compatible with excavators, mini-skid, skid steer, and compact track loaders.

"We believe we offer the best hydraulic breakers in the industry," said 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."

Key Features of New Breakers

Blue Diamond said its breakers offer key differentiators that add performance and value to set them apart:

• The comprehensive 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 perfect 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 with competitive 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. The company stated that this design is the quietest breaker in the industry, significantly reducing vibration transfer to the host machine and protecting hydraulic components, pins, and bushings from excessive wear, while also improving operator comfort.

• For maximum versatility, many of the Blue Diamond 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. This flexibility dramatically increases utilization rates and return on investment.

• 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. In addition, recovery from anti-blank firing is the quickest in the industry, ensuring productivity is maximized.

Multiple Tool Configurations

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 that the tools are easily interchangeable with minimal downtime, enabling operators to select and change the tool in the field without requiring additional wrenches or keys.

3-Year Warranty

All Blue Diamond hydraulic breakers come with the Blue Diamond Satisfaction Guarantee and are backed by an industry-best 3-year warranty.
