When choosing a hydraulic breaker for your excavator, it’s important to understand that not all breakers are created equal.
Different types of breakers are designed for specific working environments, budgets, and performance needs.
At RSBM, we offer three major types of hydraulic breakers — Side Type, Top Type, and Box Type, each with its own unique advantages. Let’s explore their features and ideal applications to help you choose the right breaker for your work.
Side Type Breaker
Advantages:
-
Simple structure, easy maintenance
-
Lowest price and fastest delivery
-
Excellent for mining, quarrying, and road repair
-
Performs well under a wide range of working conditions
Disadvantages:
-
Not silent; produces relatively loud noise
Recommended Index: Four Stars (High)
The Side Type Breaker is one of the most popular models in developing regions such as China, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
It’s ideal for contractors who value cost-effectiveness, reliability, and fast delivery without compromising breaking power.
If your projects don’t require strict noise control, this model provides the best value for money.
Top Type Breaker
The Top Type is designed for municipal construction, road work, and heavy-duty demolition.
RSBM provides two versions: One-piece Type and Split Type — each offering different advantages.
(1) Top One-piece Type
Advantages:
-
Cost-effective with solid performance
-
Ideal for various municipal engineering projects
-
Suitable for operations at multiple angles
Disadvantages:
-
Generates noticeable noise
-
Ear plates cannot be replaced
Recommended Index: Four Stars (High)
This type is a great choice for users seeking balance between price and performance — reliable, powerful, and easy to operate in diverse construction environments.
(2) Top Split Type
Advantages:
-
Replaceable ear plates for different excavator models
-
Suitable for various operation angles in municipal projects
-
Strong and durable structure
Disadvantages:
-
Slightly higher price than the one-piece type
-
Noise level remains high
Recommended Index: Three Stars (Medium)
The Top Split Type is ideal for professional contractors managing mixed fleets.
Its flexible design makes it easier to adapt to different excavators, enhancing efficiency across multiple job sites.
Box (Silent) Type Breaker
Advantages:
-
Quiet operation; significantly reduces noise and vibration
-
Perfect for urban, residential, and noise-sensitive areas
Disadvantages:
-
Higher purchase cost
-
Increased maintenance cost
-
Maintenance may require more time and skill
Recommended Index: Three Stars (Medium)
The Box Type Breaker (also known as the Silent Type) is the top choice for city projects or residential areas where noise control is essential.
Its soundproof housing not only reduces noise but also minimizes vibration, protecting the excavator arm and improving operator comfort.
Although its initial investment is higher, its professional-grade performance ensures a longer lifespan and smoother operation.
Choosing the Right Breaker
When selecting a hydraulic breaker, consider the following factors:
Working Environment — Is the area noise-sensitive?
Budget — Are you looking for the most cost-effective or premium option?
Project Type — Mining, municipal, or urban demolition?
Each breaker has its place:
-
Side Type → Best for cost-effective, heavy-impact applications
-
Top Type → Balanced for power and flexibility
-
Box Type → Ideal for quiet and professional environments
