Working procedure:
The excavator lifts the pile breaker over the pile and at first stage a complete horizontal fracture is made. The chisels penetrate in horizontal direction up to the re-bars for about 25 seconds to make the fracture. At second stage the chisels penetrate further (usually 25-40 mm) and due to the shape of the chisels and the reaction forces by the rebars, the concrete will break in pieces and can easily be lifted off the pile
