SHIS-76 Integrated Drill and Splitter
Drilling and Splitting with a Single Excavator
On most rock jobs, drilling and splitting are two separate steps. One machine drills the holes, then another comes in to split the rock, and every switch costs time. It also means more equipment, more operators and more repositioning on the site. The SHIS-76 Integrated Drill and Splitter puts both jobs on one attachment. It drills the hole and splits the rock from the same excavator, without blasting.
That saves time, cuts down on extra machines, and keeps the work moving. Here is what it offers and where it fits.
What Is the SHIS-76, Really?
Think of it as a rock drill and a hydraulic splitter combined into one unit and mounted on an excavator. The SHIS-76 Rock Splitter runs on the excavator's own hydraulic power, with an added electro-hydraulic control system to switch between drilling and splitting. Unlike a splitter that needs a separate drill to prepare the holes first, this one does the whole job by itself.

How the Machine Works
The operator first positions the attachment and drills a hole of 76 mm into the rock. Then, without bringing in another machine, the wedge set goes into the hole. Hydraulic pressure pushes the centre wedge between two counter wedges, they press against the hole walls, and a crack opens along the line you planned. Put simply, the SHIS-76 Rock Splitting Machine drills, splits and moves on to the next hole, all from the excavator cab.
A typical job goes like this:
- Position the excavator and mark the splitting line.
- Drill the first hole of 76 mm with the attachment.
- Switch to splitting and apply hydraulic pressure until the rock opens.
- Move to the next hole and repeat.
One tip: plan your holes towards a free face. The split pieces get room to move, and the break comes away cleaner.
Where You Can Use It
The attachment is made for hard rock jobs where blasting is not an option. As a SHIS-76 Hydraulic Rock Splitter, it works on quarry faces, trenches, foundations and tunnel work, and it can reach a working face from many angles. That flexibility helps on uneven ground and in tight sites, where a fixed setup would struggle.
Why One Machine Makes Sense
When drilling and splitting use different machines, each step waits for the other. With an integrated unit, the same excavator drills the next hole as soon as the last one is split. That cuts idle time, lowers the cost of extra equipment, and keeps the crew smaller.
It also means fewer machines on a crowded site, which matters when space is tight.
Prepare Before You Begin
A little preparation saves a lot of time on site:
Safety and Maintenance
Good habits keep the machine reliable, project after project.
Built for Your Excavator
The attachment uses the excavator's own hydraulics, so there is no separate power unit to bring in. Fitted as an SHIS-76 Excavator Drill and Splitter, it moves with the machine from hole to hole while the operator stays in the cab, away from the rock.
