Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again
What the Probst STS-43-H Large Stone Splitter is
The Probst STS-43-H Large Stone Splitter is a heavy-duty hydraulic splitter designed to break large natural stone, kerbs, concrete blocks and slabs cleanly and quickly. With a 43‑tonne splitting force and robust frame, it handles big pieces that would be slow, dusty or dangerous with hand tools or disc cutters.
Jobs it’s best suited for
- Breaking and shaping natural stone for landscaping and dry stone walls
- Splitting concrete kerbs, blocks and paving slabs on groundwork jobs
- Preparing stone for bespoke building and renovation work
- Projects where a clean, controlled split is needed without excessive dust or vibration
Key features and specs
- Hydraulic operation giving around 43‑tonne splitting force for tough materials
- Adjustable blade and stroke for repeatable, accurate splits
- Solid steel frame designed for heavy loads and frequent site use
- Quick set-up so you can get on with the job without fuss
Why hire rather than buy
If you only need a stone splitter for one-off projects or occasional landscaping, hiring makes clear financial sense. You avoid the capital outlay, maintenance and storage headaches while getting a commercial-grade splitter ready to work from day one. Breckland Plant Hire keeps machines serviced and ready, and we can deliver the Probst STS-43-H Large Stone Splitter to sites within 20 miles of Attleborough and Wymondham — or you can collect it from our depot free of charge.
Operator and safety notes
This is powerful kit and should be used by competent operators. Always wear PPE — boots, gloves, eye protection and hearing protection where needed. Ensure the machine is on a stable, level surface and never exceed recommended material dimensions or force settings. Plan for safe handling of heavy split pieces; use slings or lifting gear as required and keep bystanders well clear during splitting. Full operating instructions are provided with the hire and our team can advise on safe setup.
