Description
Skid Steer Hydraulic Breaker for Concrete, Rock & Demolition
The Skid Steer Hydraulic Breaker from Construction Attachments is engineered for demanding concrete demolition, rock breaking, asphalt removal and construction applications. Multiple CAL breaker models are available to match different skid steer hydraulic systems, machine weight classes and breaking requirements.
Also commonly called a hydraulic hammer, skid steer hammer or rock breaker, this attachment converts the hydraulic power of your skid steer into high-impact breaking force. As a result, operators can tackle concrete, rock, asphalt and other hard materials with a breaker properly matched to the host machine.

Skid Steer Hydraulic Breaker Models & GPM
Selecting the correct skid steer hydraulic breaker starts with matching the breaker to your machine’s hydraulic flow, operating pressure and weight class.
| Model | Oil Flow Required | Operating Pressure | Machine Weight Class | Tool Diameter | Est. Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CAL 225D | 3.76–6.6 GPM | 1,305–2,000 PSI | 1,400–3,000 lbs. | 1.77″ | 296 lbs. |
| CAL 500D | 6.08–16.0 GPM | 1,280–2,500 PSI | 3,000–8,000 lbs. | 2.24″ | 724 lbs. |
| CAL 650D | 9.25–18.49 GPM | 1,565–3,500 PSI | 5,000–9,000 lbs. | 2.76″ | 846 lbs. |
| CAL 850D | 10.57–22.1 GPM | 2,000–3,500 PSI | 5,000–11,000 lbs. | 2.95″ | 968 lbs. |
| CAL 1000D | 14.6–24.8 GPM | 2,030–3,500 PSI | 7,000–15,000 lbs. | 3.15″ | 1,220 lbs. |
Hydraulic flow is only one part of proper breaker selection. Machine weight, operating pressure, attachment weight and application should also be considered.
Therefore, specify the exact make and model of your skid steer when ordering so the appropriate breaker can be selected.
Built for Concrete, Rock & Asphalt
A properly matched skid steer hydraulic breaker delivers powerful impact performance for demanding construction and demolition applications.
Common uses include:
- Concrete demolition
- Rock breaking
- Asphalt removal
- Foundation demolition
- Trenching
- Road construction and repair
- Site preparation
- Construction and demolition work
- Pavement removal
- General breaking applications
In addition, the range of CAL breaker models allows the attachment to be matched more closely to the hydraulic capabilities of the skid steer.
Auto Stop Anti-Blank-Fire Protection
The Auto Stop anti-blank-fire system is designed to help protect the breaker piston and through bolts.
Blank firing occurs when the breaker operates without proper contact between the tool and the material. Reducing unnecessary blank firing helps protect critical breaker components and can contribute to longer service life.
Silence Kit & Host Machine Protection
The integrated silence kit helps reduce operating noise while also helping prevent dust and debris from entering the breaker housing.
In addition, the cushion damper helps protect the host machine from the demanding impact forces generated during breaking operations.
Together, these systems provide added protection for both the hydraulic breaker and the skid steer operating it.

Hydraulic Breaker Chisels & Tool Options
Choosing the correct hydraulic breaker chisel or point can improve performance for the material being broken.
Conical Point — Concrete
The conical point is designed for concrete breaking and general demolition applications where concentrated impact is needed.
Moil Point — Rock
The moil point provides a pointed breaker tool for rock breaking and demanding demolition work.
In-Line Chisel — Trenches & Slopes
The in-line chisel provides a defined cutting edge for trenching, slope work and directional breaking applications.
Cross-Cut Chisel — Trenches & Slopes
The cross-cut chisel provides a cross-oriented cutting edge for trenching, slope work and specialized breaking applications.
Blunt Tool — Quarry Applications
The blunt tool is designed for applications where heavy impact and crushing force are preferred over penetration from a pointed tool.
Asphalt Cutter — Asphalt
The asphalt cutter uses a wider cutting edge designed for asphalt, pavement removal, roadwork and trenching applications.
When ordering a replacement hydraulic breaker chisel or tool, specify the chisel type, breaker model number and breaker serial number to ensure the correct tool is supplied.
Proper Hydraulic Setup Matters
Correct hydraulic setup is essential for breaker performance and service life.
Before operating your skid steer hydraulic breaker:
- Verify the skid steer’s hydraulic GPM
- Confirm required operating pressure
- Verify the host machine weight class
- Use properly sized hydraulic hoses and couplers
- Check hydraulic flow and pressure
- Avoid dry firing
- Use approved chisel paste
- Follow the operator’s manual and recommended operating procedures
A hydraulic breaker should always be properly matched to the skid steer before operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a skid steer hydraulic breaker?
A skid steer hydraulic breaker is a hydraulically powered attachment used to break concrete, rock, asphalt and other hard materials. It is also commonly called a hydraulic hammer, skid steer hammer or rock breaker.
What GPM does a skid steer hydraulic breaker require?
Required hydraulic flow depends on the breaker model. Construction Attachments skid steer breaker models range from 3.76–6.6 GPM for the CAL 225D to 14.6–24.8 GPM for the CAL 1000D.
Can a skid steer hydraulic breaker break concrete?
Yes. Concrete demolition is one of the primary applications for a hydraulic breaker. The breaker and tool should be properly matched to the skid steer and material.
Can a skid steer hydraulic hammer break rock?
Yes. A properly sized hydraulic breaker can be used for rock-breaking applications with the appropriate breaker point or chisel.
What hydraulic breaker chisel should I use?
The correct tool depends on the application. Conical points are used for concrete, moil points for rock, in-line and cross-cut chisels for trenching and slope work, blunt tools for heavy impact applications, and asphalt cutters for asphalt and pavement.
Does the breaker include a skid steer mounting bracket?
Yes. The skid steer breaker package includes the skid steer mounting bracket, hydraulic hoses, flat-face couplers and one breaker point.
How do I choose the correct hydraulic breaker?
Match the breaker to your skid steer’s hydraulic GPM, operating pressure and machine weight class.
Specify your exact skid steer make and model when ordering so the appropriate breaker can be selected.
Choose the Right Skid Steer Hydraulic Breaker
