About us

RKX is a team of vastly experienced heavy machinery professionals committed to making breaking equipment smarter, lighter and more accessible to businesses of all sizes in all parts of the world. We believe precision breaking shouldn’t cost the earth. We supply tools that break some of the toughest materials on our planet — and also break down the existing barriers to entry for businesses, communities and local authorities wanting to explore mining, quarrying and construction opportunities.

The innovative groundbreaking technology and incredible power-to-weight ratio of our RKX-Volt 100k electrically-driven breaker have been developed to create a more environmentally-friendly but equally viable alternative to blasting in locations where explosives are illegal, impractical or in short supply.

UNRIVALLED EXPERTISE

We channel our extensive experience of mechanical rock extraction — and the broader heavy machinery, engineering and construction industries — to address key and costly problems we’ve seen impacting mining, quarrying and infrastructure projects around the world.

Drawing upon our industry knowledge and product design skills, we’ve created an electrically-driven breaker that solves major issues currently faced by businesses that are reliant on explosives and traditional hydraulic hammers. We’re combining technical innovation, disruptive technology and first-hand industry experience to tackle problems as varied as the availability of explosives, site access, industry entry costs, environmental concerns and safety.

By applying everything we’ve learned over the years, developing innovative designs and adapting cutting-edge electrical drivetrain technology created for the automotive industry, we’ve made a safe, easy to use and lightweight breaking tool that is competitively priced in comparison to explosives, far more efficient than hydraulic hammers, and much more precise than either.

On relatively tight budgets, in restricted spaces and even in demanding security conditions, we’re able to help you to achieve previously unimagined levels of destructive power in a controlled and cost-effective way.
