Fewer Parts, Fewer Problems: Inside the Striker Breaker
When it comes to hydraulic breakers, many people assume that bigger performance means more complexity. But in reality, the most effective tools in the field are often the simplest — especially when you're talking about uptime, reliability, and maintenance.
That’s the idea behind the Striker series hydraulic breakers. Designed for power and durability, Striker breakers rely on just two internal moving parts. That’s not a typo. And it’s not a compromise. It’s a deliberate decision that delivers real-world results.

More Moving Parts = More Problems
Most hydraulic breakers on the market today include a maze of internal components — multiple valves, extra seals, wear-prone springs, and complicated accumulator systems. These parts don’t just add complexity. They introduce more failure points, more downtime, and more frequent maintenance schedules.
Every extra moving part is another thing that can break, leak, seize, or wear out. That complexity becomes your problem when you're stuck troubleshooting a failure in the middle of a job.

Striker Breakers Keep It Simple
Striker breakers operate with just two moving parts: the piston and the valve.
That’s it.
This minimalist internal design means fewer things can go wrong. Fewer wear points. Less downtime. And easier service — both in the field and at your local certified repair facility.
Instead of over-engineering the tool, Striker focuses on engineering what matters most: reliability.

Simple Doesn’t Mean Weak
Here’s the surprising part — despite their straightforward design, Striker breakers deliver impact energy and efficiency that compete with more complicated systems. You’re not trading power for simplicity. You’re getting both.
The high-efficiency design of the internal chamber and piston delivers consistent striking force, with fewer internal energy losses and reduced maintenance costs over time.

Why Simplicity Wins in the Field
Whether you’re a contractor trying to keep your machine on the job or a dealer training a team on breaker service, simplicity matters.
With fewer parts to monitor and maintain, Striker breakers:
Spend more time working and less time in the shop
Are easier to train on and troubleshoot
Reduce long-term ownership costs
Can be rebuilt more efficiently by certified facilities like ours
For companies that rely on uptime, it’s not about bells and whistles — it’s about performance you can count on.
