The Cost

Heavy Duty Breaker Hire Specs & Hire Rates

The cost of heavy duty breaker hire depends on how long you need it, which steels you need with it, and whether you need a transformer or transport trolley. We quote every hire personally rather than publishing a price list, so you only pay for the kit the job needs. The table shows where the TE 2000-AVR sits in the Hirelink breaking range, so you can check you’re hiring the right size.

The Reason

Why Choose Hirelink for Heavy Duty Breaker Hire in the Midlands?

At 14.5kg, the TE 2000-AVR is around half the weight of a 30kg road breaker, but it is built for the same kind of floor and slab work. That makes it easier to lift into a van, carry up stairs and handle through a long day of breaking. For most domestic and light commercial breakouts, it is the machine we recommend first.

Hilti’s Active Vibration Reduction system cuts the vibration that reaches your hands. The declared value of 3.9m/s² is low for a breaker of this class, which means more breaking time before you reach the legal exposure limits and less fatigue for the operator.

The TE 2000-AVR plugs into a 110V site supply or a transformer from the mains. There’s no diesel compressor to tow and fuel and no air hoses to trip over, so you’re breaking within minutes of arriving on site.

The chisel locks in six positions, 60 degrees apart, so flat and shaped chisels always sit square to the work. Swap between a point for cracking the concrete and a flat chisel for cutting lines and lifting sections.

If your slab is thick, heavily reinforced or a road surface, a road breaker or hydraulic breaker will get through it faster, and we’ll tell you so. If you’re only lifting tiles or screed, a lighter breaker will do and costs less to hire.

Hirelink has depots in Sutton Coldfield (Boldmere), Lichfield, Aldridge and near Birmingham Airport. If the breaker you need is out at one branch, we can check the others and move stock between them.

The Return

Electric Concrete Breaker Hire: What You Get

A heavy duty breaker is a handheld electric demolition hammer that drives a steel point or chisel into concrete, masonry or asphalt at high speed to crack and break it apart. It’s also called a concrete breaker, floor breaker, demolition hammer, jackhammer or, on UK sites, a Kango. You hold it upright by the T-handle and let the weight of the tool and the hammer action do the work.

The Hilti TE 2000-AVR we hire weighs 14.5kg and strikes at 30 blows per second (1,800 per minute). It is double insulated (protection class II), has a detachable supply cord, and a service light that shows when the machine needs attention or has overheated. Hilti designs it for chiselling in concrete, masonry and asphalt, and it can also be used for excavating and compacting.

Common uses include breaking out concrete floors and slabs during renovations, removing patios, paths and driveways, breaking concrete bases and foundations before excavation, cutting channels for drainage, cable and pipe runs, removing concrete around rebar for new connections, breaking up steps and ramps, and lifting old asphalt. Builders, groundworkers, drainage and utility contractors, landscapers and refurbishment teams hire it most. Homeowners hire it too, usually to take out a patio, garden path or old concrete base.

A heavy duty breaker is the right size for most slab and foundation work. For very thick or heavily reinforced concrete, road surfaces and big breakouts, a road breaker gets through faster. For tiles, render, plaster and light chasing, a smaller breaker is easier to control and cheaper to hire.

Hiring makes more sense than buying for most jobs. Breaking out is usually one short stage of a project, and a professional breaker needs regular servicing and a supply of sharp steels. Hiring gets you a machine that has been inspected and serviced before it goes out, without the upkeep.

The Difference

Heavy Duty Breaker, Road Breaker or Hydraulic Breaker: Which Do You Need?

Heavy Duty Breaker (TE 2000-AVR)

14.5kg, 110V, low vibration. The right choice for concrete floors, slabs, foundations, patios and driveways. Light enough for one person to use all day and to carry up steps or through a house. The best all-rounder for builders and homeowners.

Hydraulic Breaker

14.5kg, 110V, low vibration. The right choice for concrete floors, slabs, foundations, patios and driveways. Light enough for one person to use all day and to carry up steps or through a house. The best all-rounder for builders and homeowners.

 

Road Breaker (TE 3000-AVR)

Around 30kg, 110V. Hits harder and gets through thick, reinforced concrete and road surfaces faster. Heavier to move, so it’s best on open ground and bigger breakouts. See our road breaker hire page.

Medium or Light Duty Breaker

Smaller electric breakers for tiles, render, plaster, block walls and thin screeds. Easier to control on walls and delicate work, but too slow for slabs and foundations. Hirelink hires light and medium duty breakers.

The Process

How to Hire a Heavy Duty Breaker from Hirelink

Tell Us What You’re Breaking

Let the team know what you’re breaking, how thick it is, whether it’s reinforced and roughly how big the area is. Tell us whether you have 110V power on site or only mains sockets, so we can add a transformer if you need one.

Confirm Booking and Collection

We’ll check availability at your nearest depot and quote for the breaker, steels, and any transformer or trolley as one hire. Trade account holders just confirm the booking. New customers bring photo ID and a refundable deposit. Collect from the depot or ask about delivery.

Check, Break and Return

Check for buried services, put on your protective kit and read the operating instructions supplied. Hilti recommends starting 80 to 100mm in from an edge and working toward it, and rotating the chisel now and then so it wears evenly. Return the breaker clean on your agreed date and we’ll inspect it before its next hire.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Heavy Duty Breaker Hire

Heavy duty breaker hire cost depends on the hire length, the steels you need, and whether you need a transformer or trolley. We quote each hire personally rather than publishing fixed prices, and there are no hidden fees once the price is agreed. Call the team on 0121 355 2626 with your dates and the job for a quote.

For most concrete floors, slabs, patios, paths and foundations, a heavy duty breaker like the 14.5kg TE 2000-AVR is the right size. For very thick or heavily reinforced concrete and road surfaces, step up to a road breaker. For tiles, render and thin screed, a light or medium duty breaker is easier to control.

Yes, for most domestic and light commercial slabs. Break the concrete away from the bars rather than hammering onto them, and cut the steel separately. Hilti advises guiding the chisel toward the edge of the work, not toward a reinforcing bar. For thick, heavily reinforced slabs, a road breaker is quicker.

No. The TE 2000-AVR is electric and runs from 110V power, so there’s no compressor or air hose. Pneumatic breakers need a compressor; hydraulic breakers need a hydraulic power pack.

If your site only has standard 230V mains sockets, yes. Hilti says any transformer or generator must deliver at least twice the rated input on the breaker’s rating plate. A 5kVA transformer is the usual choice for a breaker of this size.

Yes, as long as the generator delivers at least twice the breaker’s rated input and the supply has an earth and an RCD. Hilti also notes that some generators with a sleep mode need a second load, such as a work light, connected before the breaker will start.

Use a point to crack and penetrate the concrete, especially at the start of a break or on thick slabs. Use a flat chisel to cut straight lines, trim edges and lift sections once the concrete has started to break

It depends on how you use it and for how long. Hilti declares 3.9m/s² for chiselling. UK law sets a daily exposure action value of 2.5m/s² A(8) and a limit of 5m/s² A(8). Plan trigger time with your HAV risk assessment and the HSE exposure calculator, take regular breaks and keep your hands warm.

Hilti designs the TE 2000-AVR for trained professional users who understand its hazards, and many sites set their own rules on who can use breaking equipment. Read the operating instructions supplied, follow your site’s rules, and ask the team if you’re unsure about the job.

The TE 2000-AVR is a floor breaker, designed to be used pointing down. For breaking walls, render or tiles at height, a lighter breaker is safer and easier to control. Ask the team which one suits your job.

Yes, in everyday site language. Kango was a brand of breaker, and people still use the name for any electric breaker or jackhammer. The TE 2000-AVR is what most people mean when they ask for a heavy Kango for breaking concrete.

Wear eye protection, a hard hat, hearing protection, gloves, safety boots and respiratory protection suitable for concrete dust. Hilti says anyone nearby should wear the same. Control dust at source with water or extraction as well as wearing a mask.
