HLA HB500 Compact Hydraulic Breaker
Overview
The HLA HB500 Compact Hydraulic Breaker demolishes concrete slabs, asphalt, rock faces, and frozen ground that buckets cannot penetrate. HLA Attachments attachments are available through Canadian equipment dealers and distributors. Impact energy and blow rate determine performance on hard material; match the breaker class to your machine's auxiliary hydraulic output. Used extensively on Canadian construction and utility sites. Canadian-manufactured by HLA Attachments (Ontario). Available through GLC Equipment and HLA dealers.

Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You break concrete curbs, asphalt patches, frost, or light stone on compact to medium skid steers
- Occasional demolition is part of your work mix and you want a simple, reliable hammer without high cost
- Your machine has standard hydraulic flow — light-duty breakers don't require high-flow circuits
Skip if
- Reinforced concrete foundations or large rock are your main targets — a medium or heavy hammer is needed
- You run a large-frame machine — a light-duty breaker is undersized and won't give adequate productivity
Also consider
- Medium-duty hydraulic breaker for larger machines and harder material
- Heavy-duty breaker for large-frame machines and heavy demolition
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.

Care & Maintenance
- Check nitrogen buffer gas pressure at the start of every season and whenever impact energy feels reduced — low gas pressure is the most common cause of reduced performance
- Lubricate the tool (chisel) bushing and retainer pins before every use — dry bushings accelerate side-loading wear on both the bushing and the tool shank
- Inspect the lower bushing for wear after every 40 hours — a worn bushing allows chisel wobble, reducing impact energy delivery and accelerating shank wear
- Never blank-fire the breaker — operating without material contact destroys the internal valve in minutes; this is the most common cause of breaker failures
- Verify return-line back-pressure annually — back-pressure exceeding the breaker's rated limit destroys the valve seal progressively and may not be immediately obvious
How to Connect
- Attach breaker using Bob-Tach
- Connect single aux hydraulic circuit (breakers use one-way flow)
- Set machine to single-action aux mode if available
- Run 5 seconds at idle before working to allow oil to circulate
