Hilti TE2000 Medium Duty Breaker

The Hilti TE2000 is designed for breaking concrete slabs and foundations, removing concrete for rebar connections and creating channels for laying pipes. It is ideal for medium-duty demolition tasks at floor level.

Despite weighing just 14.5kg, the TE2000 can break up to 3 tons of concrete per hour, offering performance comparable to breakers in the 30kg weight class but at half the weight.

This breaker is easier to use thanks to it's low weight, T-handle design and minimal vibration levels (4.8m/s²). These features make it easier to handle the breaker, even for less experienced operators.

The TE2000 comes with a transport trolley, similar to the heavier TE3000 model, which makes moving the equipment around site easier.

The breaker operates on a 110V power supply with a 1760W motor, making it suitable for standard construction site setups.

The breaker generates around 97dBA, so wearing proper ear protection is essential during use.

With an exceptionally low vibration rating of 4.8m/s², the TE2000 reduces fatigue & allows for longer working times compared to higher-vibration tools.

When using the breaker, you must wear safety goggles (EN 166.B), steel-toe boots, protective gloves, ear protection, and a hard hat for protection against falling objects. A dust extractor is also recommended when working in dusty environments.

The TE2000 is lightweight and ergonomically designed for single-person operation, making it more manageable than heavier demolition breakers.

You will need at least an estate-sized car to collect and transport the breaker safely.

The TE2000 combines the lightweight handling of the TE1000 with some of the durability and transport features of the TE3000. It offers an excellent balance of power, manoeuvrability and comfort for medium-duty demolition.

Formal training isn’t required before using this breaker, but operators should be familiar with safe demolition practices, correct PPE use and handling of electrical site equipment.

Hiring avoids the high upfront cost, maintenance and storage of owning heavy-duty tools. It’s cost-effective for short-term demolition projects such as slab removal, renovation work, or site preparation.

Yes, the breaker is suitable for both environments. Please ensure when working indoors, you have proper dust extraction & ventilation and you use an RCD (Residual Current Device) for electrical safety when working outdoors.
