If you are still using “breaking bit by bit with a breaker” or “drilling with a drill rig + splitting separately” to handle hard rock, you may be wasting over 30% of each shift on equipment waiting and repositioning. Excavator rock drill and splitter attachment compresses both steps into one machine – drill and split immediately, cracks open in seconds, operated by a single person with remote control – achieving 4 times the efficiency of a breaker. This is not an incremental improvement; it is a generational upgrade in hard rock construction technology.

Why Choose YG Excavator Rock Drill and Splitter Attachment?
- Swedish drilling technology, patented drill frame: Simple and stable structure, precise positioning, high drilling efficiency, and significantly longer drill bit life than similar products.
- Italian hydraulic boost system: Two-stage splitting cylinders provide double boosting, delivering huge splitting force with cracks up to 5.5cm wide, easily cracking even ultra-hard rock.
- Imported splitter wedge material: Excellent wear resistance, solving multi-angle, slope, and cross-section challenges in foundation pit construction.
- Single-machine wireless remote control: New technology and materials keep operators away from the working face, greatly improving safety.
- Optimized center of gravity design: Equipment weight is concentrated on the back of the excavator bracket and the arm, allowing even small excavators to work stably – fits 20-ton class and above.
- Screw air compressor for dust removal: Low noise, compact size, energy-efficient and eco-friendly, with strong suction for dust-free operation.
Excavator Rock Drill and Splitter Attachment VS Explosive Blasting
- Approval requirements: Blasting requires approvals from police, environmental, and other departments, with a process lasting months; a hydraulic rock drill and splitter is static rock breaking, requiring no blasting permits – ready to use upon purchase.
- Safety risks: Blasting poses risks of flying rocks, vibration, and shock waves, requiring safety zones; the drilling and splitting machine operates in a static hydraulic environment with no explosion risk and no complex safety measures.
- Environmental impact: Blasting generates huge noise, dust, and vibration, affecting nearby residents and buildings; the drill-splitter has no vibration, low noise, and minimal dust, suitable for densely populated areas.
- Precision control: Blasting direction and fragmentation are hard to control precisely, often causing overbreak or underbreak; the excavator rock drill and splitter attachment allow precise control of splitting direction, shape, and size with high accuracy.
- Continuous operation: Blasting requires waiting for smoke to clear and safety checks before re-entering, causing long downtime; the drill-splitter cracks rock in seconds, enabling continuous high-efficiency operation.
- Overall cost: Blasting involves hidden costs like security, blaster fees, and site clearance; drill-splitter requires single-operator remote control with low operating and maintenance costs, reducing overall cost by 30%-50%.
Integrated Rock Drill and Splitter Complete Working Process
- Step 1: Equipment positioning – The excavator moves to the working face and adjusts the excavator rock drill and splitter attachment to the drilling angle (vertical, inclined, or inverted) via the hydraulic system.
- Step 2: Remote drilling – The operator starts the drilling module via wireless remote control. The alloy drill bit drills rapidly under the hydraulic motor, while the screw air compressor simultaneously blows dust out.
- Step 3: Stop drilling, switch to splitting mode – After reaching the set depth, remotely switch to the splitting module, aligning the two-stage cylinders with the hole.
- Step 4: Hydraulic splitting – The cylinders pressurize synchronously, the splitting wedge inserts into the hole, cracks extend upward from the bottom to a width of up to 5.5cm, and the rock breaks from the root.
- Step 5: Clean up with breaker – After splitting, the rock is loosened. Switch to the excavator breaker to clear the debris, completing one cycle.
- Step 6: Repeat cycle – Move the excavator to the next drilling position and repeat the process for continuous high-efficiency rock breaking.

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavator Rock Drill and Splitter Attachment
Q1: Is it complicated to install on an excavator? Does it require modifying the excavator?
No modification needed. Excavator rock drill and splitter attachment connects to the excavator arm via a standard quick coupler, and hydraulic hoses connect to quick-disconnect ports. A skilled operator can mount it in 30-60 minutes, and removal is just as quick, without affecting the excavator’s ability to switch to other attachments.
Q2: Is there a rock hardness requirement? What rocks split best?
The equipment works on rocks with hardness f=6-20. Granite, basalt, limestone, and quartzite show the best results. Note that splitting requires a reasonable distance between the hole and the free face.
Q3: For export orders, how is after-sales support and parts availability?
YG has a mature export service system: 1-year warranty on the whole machine; common wear parts (drill bits, wedges, seals) come with a starter spare parts kit, with global express replenishment available; also provides English installation videos, operation manuals, and online technical support – overseas customers can handle routine maintenance themselves.
Q4: How much more efficient is it compared to a breaker?
Under the same conditions, the excavator rock drill and splitter attachment is 4 times more efficient than a traditional breaker, with less wear on the excavator arm.
