The Atlas Copco LH 270 is a handheld hydraulic paving breaker that packs demolition power into a 58 lb, 30 in. tool. Fed by 58 GPM of oil flow from a compact power pack or a carriers auxiliary hydraulic circuit it delivers 1,3501,750 blows per minute for concrete break-out in cramped spaces, overhead work, indoor jobs and emergency repairs in dense traffic.
The closed-loop hydraulic design keeps dirt and moisture out, continuously lubricates its few moving parts and produces no exhaust, so the LH 270 runs in rough conditions even under water. Chuck options of 1-1/8 x 6 in. and 1-1/4 x 6 in. take common steels such as asphalt cutters and clay spades. It sits mid-range among Atlas Copcos hydraulic paving breakers; the article on choosing a concrete breaking tool helps sort air, gas and hydraulic options.

Atlas Copco LH 270 FAQ
What hydraulic supply does the LH 270 need?
It runs on 5–8 GPM of oil flow at roughly 1,595–1,886 psi working pressure depending on model. That can come from a compact hydraulic power pack or the auxiliary hydraulic circuit of a skid steer or excavator.
Can the LH 270 be used indoors or under water?
Yes. The closed-loop hydraulic design produces no exhaust and seals out dirt and moisture, so the breaker is suited to indoor work, wet conditions and even underwater operation.
What tool steel fits the LH 270?
It comes in 1-1/8 x 6 in. and 1-1/4 x 6 in. chuck versions, both taking standard paving breaker steel — browse moil points and chisels in the matching shank size.
Hydraulic or pneumatic paving breaker — which should I pick?
Choose hydraulic like the LH 270 when you already run a power pack or hydraulic carrier, or need quiet, exhaust-free breaking in confined spots. If your crews run compressed air, compare models in the paving breaker buyer’s guide.
