Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again
Robust 1.8-tonne Pecker Breaker for Mini Diggers
The 1.8T Pecker is a heavy-duty hydraulic breaker designed for use on 1.5–2 tonne mini diggers. Built for contractors and groundworkers who need dependable impact force in tight spaces, it tackles concrete, blockwork, tarmac and frozen ground with ease.
What this machine is
The 1.8T Pecker is a hydraulic pecker/breaker that mounts to small excavators. It converts hydraulic pressure into high-impact blows, making short work of medium demolition tasks and breaking out footings, slabs and kerbs where handheld breakers can’t cope. It’s compact enough for confined sites yet powerful enough for serious work.
Jobs it’s suited for
- Breaking concrete footings, slabs and kerbs
- Removing blockwork and small retaining walls
- Tackling frozen ground and compacted aggregate
- Preparation work for drainage and service trenches
Key specs & features
- Weight class: 1.8 tonne pecker suitable for mini excavators
- High-impact hydraulic breaker action for fast material removal
- Compact design for access in tight spaces and around properties
- Hardened chisel/point attachments for different break tasks
- Quick-fit mounting for fast attachment swaps on site
Why hire this rather than buy?
For most one-off or occasional jobs hiring is the sensible, cost-effective choice. Hiring the 1.8T Pecker from Breckland Plant Hire gives you:
- Access to a professionally maintained, CPA-member backed machine without capital outlay
- No long-term servicing, insurance or storage headaches — we maintain and safety-check everything
- Flexible hire lengths from a day to a week or weekend hire to suit your schedule
- Trade account discounts and reliable delivery within 20 miles of Attleborough and Wymondham
Operator & safety notes
Only use the pecker from a suitable carrier machine with matching hydraulic flow and pressure. Operators should be trained in attachment use, wear appropriate PPE (hearing protection, eye protection, gloves and steel-toe boots) and follow site safety procedures. Avoid prolonged use without breaks to prevent heat build-up, and ensure the attachment is correctly secured before operation.
