The Atlas Copco TEX 230PE is a pneumatic paving breaker that straddles the 40 and 60 lb classes: the 1 x 4-1/4 in. chuck version weighs 56 lb at 24.6 in., while the 1-1/8 x 6 in. and 1-1/4 x 6 in. versions run 60 lb at 26.4 in. Every configuration delivers 1,320 BPM on 64 CFM at 90 psi with a vibration-reduced handle measured at 4.2 m/s2 built for full shifts on concrete slab, road-repair and asphalt work.

Vibration numbers matter on production demolition, and the 230PEs handle keeps operators working where rigid-handle tools force rotation. It slots into the Atlas Copco breaker range below the TEX 60 and 90, taking the same points, chisels and cutters in matching hex sizes. For a plain-language comparison of breaker weights against slab thickness, read choosing a concrete breaking tool.

TEX 230PE FAQ

Is the TEX 230PE a 40 lb or 60 lb breaker?
Both, depending on configuration: the 1 x 4-1/4 in. chuck version weighs 56 lb and works the 40 lb class, while the 1-1/8 x 6 in. and 1-1/4 x 6 in. versions run 60 lb.

What shank sizes does it take?
1 x 4-1/4, 1-1/8 x 6 or 1-1/4 x 6 in. hex — pick the variant that matches your existing steel inventory, and see the paving breaker buyer’s guide for how chucks pair with steel.

How big a compressor does it need?
64 CFM at 90 psi in every configuration, well within a standard towable contractor compressor.

Can operators run it all shift?
That is the design intent: the vibration-reduced handle measures 4.2 m/s² hand-arm vibration, keeping exposure manageable on full-shift slab and road work.
