Blasting is banned near homes. Hydraulic breakers are too slow for hard rock. How do you break boulders or trench through granite without explosives? You use an excavator drill and a splitting machine. It does two jobs with one attachment: first, it drills a hole into the rock, then it inserts a powerful splitter that cracks the rock open from the inside. No flying debris, no vibration, no noise complaints.

How Does An Excavator-Mounted Rock Drill And Splitter Work?
The integrated equipment works in two phases: drilling first, then splitting.
Step 1 – Drill the hole. The excavator positions the attachment against the rock face. The 24KW hydraulic rock drill pushes a 120mm drill bit into the rock at 1 meter per minute. Drilling depth reaches 1600mm. The drill uses standard DTH (down‑the‑hole) or rotary percussion technology. Flushing air or water removes cuttings.
Step 2 – Retract and rotate. After the hole reaches full depth, the drill bit is retracted. The splitting head rotates into position – up to 120° rotation angle – so you can aim the splitter exactly where you want the crack to start.
Step 3 – Insert the splitter. The splitting mechanism is pushed into the hole using the same feed beam. The splitting maximum pullout force is 70KN, meaning it can extract the splitter even under load.
Step 4 – Split the rock. Hydraulic pressure is applied, generating up to 8000 tons of splitting force. The rock cracks along natural or induced fracture lines. No explosion, no flying stone, just a clean split.
The whole process is controlled remotely. The operator stays in a safe zone, watching the work from a distance.
Why Choose A Rock Drill And Rock Splitter Integrated Equipment Over A Breaker?
Hydraulic breakers (hammers) are common for rock breaking. But they have big downsides:
- Loud noise – breakers are extremely noisy, often illegal in residential or urban areas.
- Vibration – shakes the excavator, the ground, and nearby structures. Can damage foundations.
- Slow – breaking hard rock with a breaker takes many blows per inch. It is time‑consuming.
- Blunt impact – creates dust and flying chips.
An excavator drill and splitting machine solves all these problems:
- Silent operation – no loud banging. The splitting action is a slow, powerful push. Nearby residents and workers will barely hear it.
- No vibration – the rock cracks from internal pressure, not impact. Your excavator and the surrounding ground stay stable.
- Faster – once the hole is drilled, splitting takes seconds. One hole can crack a large boulder or section of rock.
- No explosives – zero legal paperwork, no blasting permits, no danger of fly rock.
For trenching, quarry block extraction, foundation rock removal, or boulder breaking, this integrated equipment is the modern, quiet, and safe choice.

Service commitment: YG responds within 24 hours to any issue, and the problem is typically solved within 72 hours. Lifetime paid maintenance and repair service is available.
This means you are not left alone after purchase. The warranty covers the major expensive components (rock drill, splitter cylinder) for a full year. Wear parts are clearly listed – no surprises. And the fast response time keeps your downtime short.
Where To Use This Integrated Equipment?
- Urban construction – Excavating rock near buildings, subways, or utilities. No blasting allowed.
- Quarrying dimension stone – Crack large blocks along natural planes without shattering them.
- Trenching for pipelines – Cut trenches through rock where vibration would damage nearby pipes.
- Foundation removal – Break old concrete or rock foundations under existing structures.
- Secondary breaking – Break boulders that are too big to handle after primary blasting (in permitted areas).
- Road and tunnel widening – Remove rock shoulders without closing the road for days.
If you need quiet, vibration‑free rock breaking, this is your answer.
Upgrade Your Rock Breaking Capability With YG-130
If you are tired of noisy breakers, expensive blasting permits, or slow trenching through hard rock, the YG-130 excavator drill and splitting machine is your solution. It drills a 120mm hole to 1.6m depth in under two minutes, then splits with 8000 tons of force – silently and without vibration. The remote control lets you operate from a safe distance. The attachment fits 20‑36 ton excavators, requires 240 L/min hydraulic flow, and weighs 4200 kg.
YG backs this machine with a clear 1‑year whole‑machine warranty (2000 hours), 12 months on the rock drill and splitter cylinder, and a fast 24/72‑hour service response. Wear parts are clearly listed – no hidden surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Minimum 20 tons. For best performance, use a 20‑36 ton excavator. The YG-130 weighs 4.2 tons – that is within the lift capacity of a 20‑ton machine.
Yes. The drill and split principle works on reinforced concrete. Drill through the concrete, then split. However, rebar may need to be cut separately.
Yes. You operate the entire machine from a handheld unit.
Regular greasing of the feed beam and drilling components. Replace worn drill bits. Check hydraulic hoses for leaks. The splitting head has seals that may need occasional replacement. Oil seals should be replaced at 300 hours of normal use.
