A hoe ram, hydraulic hammer, or demolition hammer is a hydraulic hammer used in demolition and excavation.[1] It is typically attached to an excavator or backhoe, and is used to break up large, solid objects such as concrete, asphalt, and rock.
It is often used in the removal of concrete decks and piers during the demolition of bridges. Additionally, demolition crews employ the hoe ram for jobs too large for jackhammering or areas where blasting is not possible due to safety or environmental issues.
