Which equipment/hammer to use for public works?

Public works include all landscaping, construction and maintenance work carried out for local authorities or for the State. Examples of work: asphalt, laying of curbs, drainage, earthworks, excavation, etc. For these different works and to save time, it is important to work with adapted tools and materials.

Jackhammers are often used for public works. This tool allows to destroy and break hard and resistant materials such as concrete, bitumen, asphalt or rock.

In addition, there are many models of jackhammer adapted to the needs and the type of activity carried out.

THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF JACKHAMMERS

Electric jackhammers are the most used; they have an electric motor that drives the piston. There are also thermal jackhammers which are very heavy and noisy machines. These are only used in outdoor environments because of the exhaust fumes. Finally, we also find pneumatic jackhammers. These are the most powerful and are used with an air compressor that will ensure a permanent supply.

Concerning their striking frequency and their striking force, there are different powers (1000 blows/minute, 1800 blows/minute, <2000 blows/minute) depending on the required work. If it is a matter of destruction work, it is then recommended to use a tool with a high striking frequency. As for the striking force, it is measured in joules.
