VK 117L Paving Breaker-Latch Type-89lb
VK 117L Paving Breaker-Latch Type-89lb is built by Vikay Mining Equipments in India and is technically equivalent to the CP 1170 Pneumatic Breaker. It is used for a variety of construction and plant maintenance applications. Spare parts for this machine are supplied to original specification. Ask for pricing and delivery.
Paving Breaker - VK 117L (89 lb)
The VK 117L is a 40 kg paving breaker, technically equivalent to the Chicago Pneumatic CP 1170. It offers the power of the VK 117 at 1,200 blows per minute and 35 l/s, but replaces the spring retainer with a latch type retainer. That change lets the operator change a moil or chisel in seconds without tools and removes the pinch risk of a spring coil, which is why it is specified on sites with stricter tool handling rules.

VK 117L Paving Breaker FAQs
Can the VK 117L replace a CP 1170?
Yes, that is the duty it is made for: the VK 117L is technically equivalent to the Chicago Pneumatic CP 1170. A 57 mm piston on a 165 mm stroke gives 1,200 blows a minute at 40 kg on 35 l/s of air at 6 bar. It takes the same 32 x 160 mm shank, so moil points, chisels and asphalt cutters already on site will fit.
Which Vikay paving breaker do I need?
This page is the VK 117L at 40 kg, at the heavy end of the range. Vikay manufactures breakers from 13.5 kg to 42 kg and the weight is the job: 13.5 kg for light construction and plant maintenance, 20 to 30 kg for general breaking, asphalt and pavement, 36 kg and above for reinforced concrete, frozen ground and thick pavement. The lightest machine that will do the work is usually the right one, because a heavier breaker breaks faster but tires the operator sooner. Silenced versions are manufactured alongside most models where noise is regulated.

Will my compressor run the VK 117L?
The VK 117L needs 35 l/s at 6 bar (74 cfm at 87 psi), delivered continuously. The inlet is 19 mm, so run at least that hose bore: anything narrower throttles the machine before the compressor does. At 1,200 blows a minute the draw is constant rather than intermittent, so allow headroom for hose length and for worn couplings.
Will my existing moil points, chisels and asphalt cutters fit the VK 117L?
The VK 117L takes a 32 x 160 mm shank (1¼" x 6¼"), with 28 x 160 mm available as an option, so any moil point cut to that shank fits, whatever machine it came off. Order tools against the shank, not against the machine.
