The lifespan of a hydraulic breaker depends on several factors:
Quality and Maintenance:
- High-quality breakers tend to last longer.
- Regular maintenance, including lubrication and inspection, prolongs their life.
Workload and Intensity:
- Heavy-duty applications may wear out breakers faster.
- Intermittent use extends their lifespan compared to continuous operation.
Operator Skill:
- Skilled operators minimize wear and tear.
- Proper handling prevents premature breakdowns.
Signs of Wear:
- Reduced impact force
- Increased noise or vibration
- Oil leaks
- Cracks or damage
Replace worn parts promptly to maintain efficiency and safety. Generally, a well-maintained hydraulic breaker can last several years.
