In June 2026, a construction contractor in Bucharest, Romania, purchased our YG concrete pile crusher for a major bridge foundation project. The customer needed to remove pile heads on 800- 1000 mm diameter concrete piles quickly and cleanly. They chose our 9-module hydraulic pile breaker system, which delivers 300KN thrust and works with their 25-ton excavator. The machine arrived at their site in early July, and the project manager reported that pile head breaking time dropped by over 60% compared to their old method. This concrete pile crusher sold to Romania case proves how YG equipment improves construction efficiency.

Why the Customer Chose YG Concrete Pile Crusher
The Romanian customer compared several pile head breaking machine brands before selecting YG. Several factors influenced their decision.
1. Modular Design for Different Pile Sizes. Our concrete pile crusher uses modules that can be added or removed to match pile diameters. The customer’s 9-module setup handles 800-1000mm piles. If they work on smaller or larger piles in future projects, they can adjust the module count.
| Module Number | PCS | 4 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 |
| Combination of the total weight | KG | 1600 | 2640 | 2970 | 3300 | 3630 | 3960 | 4290 | 4620 | 4950 | 5280 | 5610 | 5940 |
| Pile diameter range | mm | 400-600 | 600-800 | 800-1000 | 1000-1150 | 1150-1300 | 1300-1500 | 1500-1650 | 1650-1800 | 1800-1970 | 1970-2200 | 2200-2360 | 2360-2500 |
| Hydraulic excavator | T | 20T-30T | 30T-40T | Hydraulic system/pump station | |||||||||
| Max.Thrust | 300KN | Max.Cylinder required | 20L/min | Machinery Tonnage | ≥20T | Location pinΦ35 | |||||||
2. Compatible with Their Excavator. The concrete pile crusher works with 20-30 ton excavators. The customer already owned a 25-ton machine, so they did not need to buy new equipment. This saved them significant money.
3. Fast Breaking Speed. With 300KN thrust and a 300mm cylinder trip, our hydraulic pile cutter breaks concrete quickly. The customer went from 45 minutes to 15 minutes per pile, making the investment well worth it.
4. Durable Construction. Each single module weighs 335kg and measures 1015×865×340mm. The chisel diameter is 110mm, designed to handle tough concrete without breaking. The machine can lift up to 500mm, making it easy to reposition between piles.
5. Good Value for Money. European-made pile breakers cost significantly more. The customer found that our concrete pile crusher offers the same performance at a lower price. They also liked that we provide clear installation guidance and technical support.

Why This Romanian Customer Bought a Concrete Pile Breaker
Romania has seen strong growth in infrastructure construction over the past five years. New bridges, highways, and building foundations all require deep concrete piles. After piles are cast and cured, workers must break off the top portion to expose fresh concrete for connecting with bridge beams or building columns.
The Romanian customer runs a mid-sized construction company that specializes in foundation work. They had been using jackhammers and hand tools to break pile heads. This method was slow, tiring, and produced uneven results. Sometimes they damaged the good concrete below the cut line, requiring expensive repairs.
They needed a pile head breaking machine that could:
- Cut pile heads cleanly at the same level
- Work fast to keep the project on schedule
- Fit their existing 25-ton excavator
- Handle piles from 800mm to 1000mm in diameter
Manual pile breaking took their crew about 45 minutes per pile. With over 200 piles on this bridge project, they knew they needed a better solution. A hydraulic pile cutter would save time, reduce labor costs, and deliver more consistent results.

Project Background: Bridge Foundation Work in Romania
The customer’s project involves building a 450-meter bridge over a river in central Romania. The bridge requires 220 cast-in-place concrete piles, each 12 meters deep. Pile diameters range from 800mm to 1000mm depending on the bearing capacity needed.
The main challenges included:
- Removing pile heads from 220 piles within the project timeline
- Achieving a flat, even cut surface for proper load transfer
- Avoiding damage to steel reinforcement bars inside the piles
- Keeping workers safe around heavy concrete breaking operations
- Completing the work without delaying other construction activities
Before buying our concrete pile crusher, the customer evaluated several pile head breaking machine options. They looked at hydraulic breakers from European brands but found them too expensive. They also considered continuing with their manual method, but the schedule pressure made that impossible.
The customer needed a machine that could cut pile heads cleanly in one operation. Our concrete pile crusher uses multiple hydraulic modules that clamp around the pile. Each module has chisels that break the concrete from the outside inward. This method preserves the steel rebar and creates a clean, level surface for the next construction step.

Customer Feedback: What They Say About YG Concrete Pile Crusher
After using our concrete pile crusher for two months, the Romanian customer shared positive feedback. The machine has processed over 150 piles so far, and the crew has learned to operate it efficiently.
Key feedback from the customer:
- Each pile head now takes only 12-15 minutes to break, down from 45 minutes
- The cut surface is flat and level, meeting engineering specifications
- Steel bars remain undamaged with no bending or cutting required
- The machine works well with their existing 25-ton excavator
- Setup takes about 10 minutes between piles
The project manager said that the pile head breaking machine has helped them get back on schedule. They were running two weeks behind before the new machine arrived. Now they are ahead of schedule and have reassigned workers to other tasks.
One site supervisor noted that “The hydraulic pile cutter operates smoothly and our team learned to use it in just two days”. The customer also appreciated that the machine requires only one operator instead of a four-person crew with jackhammers. This saved labor costs and improved site safety.
