GB vibro ripper and vibro hammer.
Two ranges for work a breaker is the wrong tool for. The GVR ripper tears soft rock and hard ground apart with far less noise and vibration than hammering it. The GVH drives and extracts sheet and pile straight off the excavator, with no crane on site.
VIBRO RIPPER
GVR — rip it instead of hammering it.
Three models for 18 to 44 tonne carriers. A special link structure turns the vibration into digging force, which is why these get used on sites where a breaker would have the neighbours on the phone.

General Breaker’s published table has its unit column out of order; the figures above are set against the units they can only belong to. We check every order against the factory sheet before it is placed — ring and we will confirm the numbers for the model you are looking at.
VIBRO HAMMER
GVH — sheet and pile without a crane.
Three models for 20 to 40 tonne carriers. Connects directly to the excavator and runs off the breaker pipework you already have, with 360° rotation and a 65 mm clamping jaw.

Extension boom weighs 600 kg on the GVH2000 and 700 kg on the other two. Clamping jaw 65 mm and 2,000–2,500 bpm across the range.
WHERE IT EARNS
Noise, vibration and the neighbours.
Town-centre work, hospital grounds, anywhere near housing — the job often stops being about how fast you can break and starts being about how much complaint you can generate.
A vibro ripper works soft rock, shale, frozen ground and compacted fill at a fraction of the noise of a hydraulic hammer, and without the shock loading that puts a machine in the workshop. On the right ground it also moves more material per hour.
Both ranges run off standard breaker pipework, so if your carrier is already plumbed for a hammer it is usually plumbed for these. We will check the flow and pressure against your machine before anything is ordered.
THE REST OF THE RANGE
Everything else General Breaker builds.
We are Ireland’s only source for General Breaker — thirty-six hydraulic breakers from 0.8 to 150 tonne, plus crushers, pulverizers, grapples and compactors.
