Genuine Bosch 1750 W full-size electric jackhammer — 16 kg, 45 J impact energy for heavy reinforced concrete breaking, road demolition, and major site demolition across NE India.
The Bosch GSH 16-30 is Bosch's full-size electric jackhammer — 16 kg, 1750 W, producing approximately 45 joules of single-blow impact energy through a 28 mm hex-shank chisel holder. It is the heaviest and most powerful electric demolition hammer in the Bosch GSH range, designed for continuous heavy-duty concrete breaking, rock breaking, and major demolition work where the lighter GSH 5 and GSH 11 E models cannot deliver sufficient impact energy to progress productively. The GSH 16-30 is the electric equivalent of a pneumatic jackhammer for applications where compressed air is unavailable or impractical.
Multi Trade Combines is an authorised Bosch dealer in Guwahati with stock of the GSH 16-30 and its chisel accessories — flat chisel, moil point, asphalt chisel, and clay spade — available from our AT Road counter. We supply contractors, demolition companies, infrastructure maintenance teams, and road authorities across Assam and Northeast India. Genuine Bosch tools with manufacturer warranty are available only through authorised dealers — avoid counterfeit and grey-market stock that arrives without India-valid warranty.
Road and highway maintenance contractors across Assam use the GSH 16-30 for concrete pavement breaking in road repair projects — where failed concrete slab panels need to be removed and replaced rather than overlaid. NHAI and state PWD road maintenance contracts in Assam specify the type of breaker to be used and the method of work for minimising vibration damage to adjacent structures; the GSH 16-30's 45 J impact energy delivers productive breaking output while its electric motor avoids diesel fume issues in confined urban repair sites.
Building demolition contractors working in Guwahati's redevelopment zones use the GSH 16-30 to break concrete floor slabs, column bases, and foundation pads where a smaller demolition hammer would spend hours on work the GSH 16-30 completes in minutes. Structural concrete in high-rise buildings is typically M30–M40 grade — high-strength concrete that resists lighter hammers and demands 40+ joule impact energy for productive work.
Mining and quarry contractors in Meghalaya use the GSH 16-30 for secondary breaking of oversize rock pieces and for breaking through rock bands in open-face operations. Hydroelectric project civil contractors in Arunachal Pradesh use it for concrete-lined tunnel repair and intake structure maintenance. The GSH 16-30 pairs with the Bosch range of cutting and drilling tools to give a complete site demolition and construction capability available from Multi Trade Combines, Guwahati.

The Bosch GSH 16-30 is a 16 kg, 1750 W full-size electric jackhammer producing around 45 joules of single-blow impact energy. This puts it in a class above the GSH 11 E (23 J) and well above the GSH 5 (8 J). The GSH 16-30 is specified for breaking reinforced concrete slabs and foundations, road demolition and breaking of asphalt and concrete pavement, quarrying operations requiring breaking of stone and rock, and sub-floor concrete removal during major renovation. A lighter machine can break unrcinforced brick and concrete block — the GSH 16-30 is for situations where the substrate is hard, thick, or heavily reinforced and the task requires sustained, productive breaking rather than occasional spot work.
At 16 kg, the GSH 16-30 is a two-person or purpose-built one-person machine depending on the application. Working vertically downward (floor breaking), one experienced operator can manage the GSH 16-30 by allowing the machine weight to provide down-pressure and using the handle for directional control. Working horizontally (wall breaking) or overhead is significantly more tiring at 16 kg and typically requires operator rotation on extended tasks. Bosch supplies the GSH 16-30 with an anti-vibration handle system to reduce vibration white finger (hand-arm vibration syndrome) risk during extended use — but work duration limits per operator per day are still required under IS 2372 and the DGMS vibration guidelines applicable to Indian worksites.
