A hydraulic “impact hammer” makes light work of a concrete bridge deck.
The development of the hydrauluc hammer has come a long way since they first became an integral part of the demolition man’s armoury some 30 years ago. Today, they’re lighter, more powerful, more productive and a whole lot quieter than their predecessors.
But sometimes, just sometimes, most demolition professionals would gladly swap the luxury of low noise, low dust, and low vibration tools with something that simply delivers brute power. Something a bit like the unit shown in this video from Surestrike.
The impact hammer is a pretty ugly specimen and looks like something the A-Team threw together in their garage. But what it lacks in looks it more than makes up in sheer grunt. Check it out.
