The Chicago Pneumatic BRK 55 VR is a handheld 60 lb-class hydraulic paving breaker for heavy concrete break-out, bridge-deck demolition and full-depth asphalt removal. Any 58 GPM hydraulic supply at 16681885 psi will drive it a stand-alone portable power pack or the auxiliary circuit on a skid steer or mini-excavator producing 1,5002,100 blows per minute from a 62 lb, 27 in. tool.

Hydraulic drive means no compressor, no air hose and no freezing, with quiet, exhaust-free operation for indoor and night work. Connection is simple with a hydraulic hose set with quick connects, and the integral VR handle holds hand-arm vibration down across a full shift. Three hex shanks match your existing steel; see choosing a concrete breaking tool for help picking among the CP hydraulic breakers.

CP BRK 55 FAQ

What can I run the BRK 55 from?
Any hydraulic supply delivering 5–8 GPM at 1668–1885 psi: a stand-alone power pack, or the auxiliary circuit on a skid steer or mini-excavator. It is a handheld tool — the carrier only supplies the oil.

What shank steel does it take?
Three hex chucks are offered — 1 x 4-1/4 in., 1-1/8 x 6 in. and 1-1/4 x 6 in. — so it runs the paving breaker points and chisels most crews already own.

Why choose hydraulic over a pneumatic breaker?
No compressor, no air hose, no freezing, and quiet exhaust-free operation for indoor and night work; the paving breaker buyer’s guide weighs the two drive types side by side.
