Pneumatic Hammer for rent

Pneumatic jackhammer rental services

No construction site is complete without a jackhammer.

As you know, this is the most productive impact tool designed for dismantling work.

It can easily cope with the destruction of concrete structures, removal of icy soil layers and even drilling rocks.

But which jackhammer should you rent?

How do pneumatic models differ from conventional ones and what nuances need to be taken into account?

We will answer these and many other questions.

How does a pneumatic jackhammer differ from an electric one

How does a classic electric type bumper work?

Connected it to the network, and you can start drilling.

In this case, the electric motor is responsible for the performance, which is completely dependent on the power source.

Conditionally, if there is no outlet or portable generator nearby, the electric bumper becomes useless.

A pneumatic bumper has one important difference: it does not use electricity in its operation, but uses compressed air supplied to the unit from an air compressor under high pressure.

When gas enters the mechanism, it creates a powerful force movement, which triggers the reciprocating mechanism.

Such bumpers do not require a nearby power source, which means they can be used at remote sites.

The nuances of using a pneumatic jackhammer

Despite the obvious technical advantages over electric models, pneumatics have one serious drawback.

It involves complex implementation and mandatory preparation of additional equipment.

At a minimum, you will need to take an additional compressor to the arena.

And not just a simple 220-volt model, but a more powerful one, with a capacity of at least 1000 liters per minute.

For example, like the Bezhetsk compressor ASO K-31.

It is important that the selected equipment can provide sufficient compressed air production.

If you decide to save money and take the cheapest and least productive model, there is a risk of completely disrupting the entire work process.

Not only will the compressor perform the job very slowly, but with some particularly durable structures it may not be able to cope at all.

It is important to be able to correctly calculate the power of the unit.

If you plan to simultaneously connect several jackhammers to one compressor, choose a model with a performance reserve.

Also, do not forget that there must be an air sleeve between the compressor and the bump stop.

It can be of any length, but no more than 25 meters.

It is impossible to be longer due to technical difficulties, and there are no such models on the market.

By the way, a distance of 25 meters will not be enough for a large object, so the equipment will have to be moved from place to place, which will complicate the work process.

Why choose a diesel compressor

A pneumatic jackhammer is much more productive than its electric counterpart, however, to maintain the generated power, it is necessary to choose an equally productive compressor.

Diesel compressors cope best with this task.

They have excellent autonomy and are capable of producing large volumes of compressed air.

Pneumatic fenders with a diesel compressor are the most popular option for rental equipment.

They are very easy to use, the cost of renting them is minimal, and the equipment can provide a good pace of work and can cope with a task of any complexity.

The consumables used here are peak chisels, which are selected based on the characteristics of the working surface.

Advantages of pneumatic jackhammers

The main advantage of pneumatic models is complete autonomy.

The unit will not be connected to the electrical network, so it can be safely used in the field.

High performance will be an equally important factor.

The chipper copes with even the most durable materials, and it does not need rest at all.
