This is the most critical factor in choosing the breaker size. SMALL HYDRAULIC BREAKERS (HAMMERS): up to 1200-ft.lbs. (1627 Joules), are typically used in concrete and other light duty work. MEDIUM HYDRAULIC BREAKERS (HAMMERS): 1200 - 4000-ft.lbs. (1627 - 5423 Joules) are used in both concrete and rock applications with limitations on the size and amount of material to be broken. LARGE HYDRAULIC BREAKERS (HAMMERS): over 4000 ft. lbs. (5423 Joules), are typically used in rock and large scale concrete demolition projects.
