What the Slab Splitter Splits

The widest Block Shear splitter, for material up to 24.5 inches wide.

WIDE CAPACITY

A Hydraulic Slab Splitter for Big Material

The Block Shear Stone & Slab Splitter is the widest machine in the line, with an opening 24.5 inches wide and 8.25 inches high. It is built for stone slab, step treads, coping, caps and large format pavers that will not fit a standard splitter.

A hydraulic foot lever drives 40,000 lb of force through .75″ x 5″ ground and case hardened tool steel blades. The frame is modular to cut maintenance time and cost, and hand cart wheels move its 400 lb around the yard or job. Choose manual hydraulic for work anywhere, or air-assist hydraulic for faster cycles in a stone yard or fabrication shop.

Stone yards, fabricators and hardscape contractors use it in place of saw cutting on oversized material, which saves time and keeps dust down.

What Stone Pros Say

Beyond expectations

April 2, 2025

I was a little skeptical on the company’s description on splitting natural stone. It will do every claimed and above 😉 I definitely have put it to the test.

I’m am very glad I spent the extra for air over hydraulic!!! I’m not a fan of the foot pedal pump it’s slow and tedious. The release is also something I wish they would improve, but it is what it is..works.

All in all I’m very pleased with the unit.

We have many splitters and this one is by far the best. I’ve been in the business for 53 years and the rock face finish that we get saves our masons time and the company money making us more competitive and our work high quality.

Well built splitter, air over hydraulic is well worth it. Heavy duty, American-made unit. Would absolutely recommend.

How-To Guides

Stone and Slab Splitter Questions

A hydraulic splitter with a wide opening for slabs, treads and large pavers. The Block Shear Stone & Slab Splitter takes material up to 24.5″ wide and 8.25″ thick.

Same 40,000 lb of force and 8.25″ height, but a 24.5″ wide opening instead of 18.25″, plus hand cart wheels. It weighs 400 lb.

Yes. It splits natural stone including flagstone, along with slab, pavers, precast and brick.

Manual hydraulic works anywhere with the foot lever. Air-assist runs off a compressor and cycles faster for high volume yards and shops.
