OEM vs. Aftermarket Hydraulic Hammer Parts: Which Is Right for You?

When it’s time to replace worn parts on your hydraulic hammer, you’ll find yourself choosing between OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts and aftermarket alternatives. Both have their place—but understanding the difference will help you make a smarter decision for your machine and your bottom line.

OEM parts are designed by the manufacturer to meet the exact specifications of your hydraulic breaker. They offer guaranteed fit and long-term durability, making them ideal for newer equipment or jobs where reliability is critical. If your hammer is still under warranty, OEM parts are usually required to keep that coverage intact.

Aftermarket parts, on the other hand, can be a cost-effective option without sacrificing too much in quality—provided you buy from a reputable supplier. Today’s top aftermarket manufacturers produce parts that often meet or exceed OEM standards. For older breakers, or if you’re operating under budget constraints, high-quality aftermarket components can stretch your dollar further.
