Cut It, Break It, Skip It
Score the slab with our K770 demo saw (from $120), break it up with the jackhammer, load it with a mini excavator and drop it in a concrete-only skip, which is cheaper than mixed heavy waste. We can bring it all on the same truck.

Jackhammer Hire FAQs
Are the bits included?
Yes. Every hire comes with a point for breaking concrete and rock, and a chisel for tiles, render and clean edges.
Does it need fuel?
No. It runs on standard 240V mains power. Plug it into a power point with an RCD (safety switch) and keep the lead clear of the work area.
How do I keep the dust down?
Breaking concrete, brick and tiles creates crystalline silica dust, which is dangerous to breathe. Wet the area with a garden hose as you go and wear a P2 respirator.
Is safety gear included?
We don’t supply safety gear, so bring your own: a properly fitted P2 respirator, safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves and steel-capped boots. Check for buried pipes and cables with Before You Dig Australia before breaking through a slab.
Is there a bond?
There’s no bond if you’re also hiring a skip or machine from us. For the jackhammer on its own, the bond is $300.
