Hilti brings cordless battery power to heavy concrete demolition with the release of the TE 3000-22 TE-H jackhammer.
Hilti has expanded its high-output battery platform with the release of the TE 3000-22 TE-H, a heavy-duty cordless jackhammer designed to replace traditional corded and pneumatic breaking equipment. The tool aims to deliver the impact energy required for demanding slab breaking and concrete demolition without the need for trailing cables or mobile generators.
By transitioning heavy breaking applications to battery technology, the system targets improved site mobility and reduced setup time on groundworks and structural alteration projects. Removing fuel-driven generators and long power leads also eliminates immediate trip hazards and emissions on urban or enclosed job sites.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For primary contractors and heavy groundworks crews, this release demonstrates that high-demand breaker tools are now viable without mains power or heavy air compressors. However, individual tradespeople and sole traders buying through trade counters like Screwfix or Toolstation should weigh the high capital cost of heavy-duty cordless platforms against their actual daily usage. Because specialized breakers demand substantial battery capacity, buyers must factor in the cost of multiple high-capacity batteries and fast chargers to maintain continuous runtime. For occasional concrete breaking, hiring the tool or sticking with existing 110V corded breakers remains the most cost-effective route, while specialist demolition firms will see the value in reduced setup times and increased site mobility.
When planning heavy demolition work, assess whether the elimination of generator transport and cable management offsets the initial battery investment, particularly on sites with restricted power access.
