S950 Hydraulic Rock Splitter
Heavy-Duty Splitting for Deep Trenches and Big Excavations
Some jobs are too big for hand-held splitters and too sensitive for blasting. Deep foundation trenches, tunnel faces and large rock cuts need a tool that pushes hard, works fast and keeps the surrounding structure safe. The S950 Hydraulic Rock Splitter is built for exactly that. Drill a deep hole, lower the wedge set in, apply hydraulic pressure, and the rock opens up along the line you marked.
It is a step above the S750 in both depth and force, and it is designed to run on a carrier machine, so the operator works from the cab. Here is what it offers and where it fits.
What Is the S950, Really?
Picture a large wedge that pushes outward from inside the hole instead of hitting from outside. The S950 Rock Splitter is designed to be mounted on a machine and operates with a hydraulic cylinder which drives a central wedge between two counter wedges. Its longer wedge set reaches deeper holes, which is good for thick rock and big foundation work.

How the Splitting Works
The cylinder pushes the centre wedge between the two counter wedges. The counter wedges press hard against the walls of the hole, a crack starts, and it travels through the rock or concrete along your planned line. Put simply, the S950 Hydraulic Rock Splitting Machine converts hydraulic pressure into a very large sideways force, without noise and with almost no vibration. One hole usually takes around a minute.
A typical job goes like this:
- Mark the splitting line and drill holes of 76 mm, about 1400 to 1600 mm deep.
- Lower the wedge set into the hole.
- Connect the hydraulic supply from the carrier and start.
- Keep building pressure until the material opens up.
One thing that helps: drill 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 S950 works well on building construction, trenching and rock excavation, and it is a natural choice for concrete demolition too. Mounted as an S950 Backhoe Loader Rock Splitter, it is easy to move around a site and position over each hole. It is also used for foundation blocks, shafts, tunnel work and open-pit cuts where blasting is not allowed.
Why Controlled Splitting Makes Sense
Since the force acts from inside the material, the crack follows your line and the area around it stays intact. You also get larger, cleaner pieces that are easier to load and haul away.
That lets work continue near people, buildings and finished surfaces, which matters on busy sites where blasting is not an option.
Prepare Before You Begin
A little preparation saves a lot of time on site:
Safety and Maintenance
Good habits keep the tool reliable, project after project.
Made for Your Carrier Machine
At 450 to 520 kg, this splitter is meant to be carried by a machine, and that is what keeps it fast on large jobs. Fitted to a backhoe loader, or used as an S950 Excavator Mounted Rock Splitter with a suitable hydraulic supply, it moves from hole to hole in minutes while the operator stays safely in the cab.
Who Uses the S950?
If your work needs deep holes, high force and low noise, the S950 is a strong choice.
