Some time ago there was an battery operated pavement/concrete breaker, great for short duration works, does anybody know if this piece of equipment is still in use and if yes can you kindly email me the info as you can not advertise on this site. Thanks in advance.

Jonathan, Just a thought; how will a gradual loss of battery power affect the vibration characteristics of the breaker & will this have to be factored in to any vibration at work calculations that you have to make? Zyggy

Zyggy Thanks for your reply. The breaker is used on an ad hock basis for no longer than 20 mins a month.

Ron Your link shows a 110v heavy breaker and not a battery operated one. I know as I hired one several years ago and it weighed about 75 tonnes by the end of the day (which subsequently my back in) :( God knows how heavy a battery operated one would weigh (assuming the battery is integral and not in a separate power pack). I would certainly like to see one if anyone can post a photo or link
