BlockSplitter™

OVERVIEW

The Safe and Easy Solution to Solid Block Splitting.
Two Models: Wheeled and Sled.

 

FEATURES

VERSATILE: Accommodates all solid concrete block. Cutting blade is 17" (430 mm), 18" block will fit. Variable cutting height from 3/8" to 12" (10-300 mm).

LIGHT WEIGHT: The BlockSplitter™ weighs only 126 lbs. (57.3 kg).

SAFE OPERATION: The unit is a much safer method of splitting blocks compared to traditional methods.

SELF-CONTAINED: No external parts required. Each unit comes with a "cheater bar" to allow better leverage for splitting larger block.

EASY-TO-USE: Large two-sided loading table; one side solid mounted for perfect 90 degree splits and one side tiltable to enable undercuts or double angle cuts.

STRONG CUTTING BLADES: Floating upper blades for uniform contact top and bottom for clean splits. Four-sided blades on top and bottom allow operators to rotate if necessary. Each blade, under normal wear and tear should last approximately 2 years.

PORTABLE: Each unit has wheels on the back end for easy transport. The "cheater bar" can be added and locked into place to push/pull the unit.

 

FEATURES: SLED MODEL

LOWER OVERALL HEIGHT: Easier operation in Low Coal. Sled functions easily in roughly 31" seams and higher.

LOWER DECK: Personnel do not have to lift heavy block as far from the ground.

IDEAL FOR UNEVEN SURFACES: It may be easier to haul underground depending on conditions.

PORTABLE: Features two hooks on the front end to hook to the scoop.

Modifications may be made to sled models to accommodate seams greater than 31". Contact us for details.
