Concrete Breaking, Cracking & Seating
Concrete Pavement
Demolition
For breaking concrete, we use a Wirtgen guillotine type drop weight employing a 6.3 ton, 67 inch FREE FALLING WEIGHT with a maximum pick height of ten feet. This means our equipment can break thicker concrete more efficiently than any machine on the market.
How Wirtgen Works

Diagram shows drop weight as it is lifted and dropped on the surface during movement of the machine. The following factors are variable according to application:
- Distance between impacts: determined by vehicle speed and winch speed
- Force of impacts: determined by stroke height
Wirtgen CB7000 Guillotine Concrete Breaker Advantages:
- German engineered and built for high performance
- Breaks thicker concrete than the competition
- Separates rebar from the concrete pavement
- Cracks and seats at the rate of 5,000 sq. yds. per hour
- Controls drop height from 2ft. to 10ft.
- Breaks concrete in variable sizes to fit your needs
