My last iPad broke, like won’t turn on or charge, just died on the spot.
is there a simple way to get my items on my new pad if I don’t have any back up to iCloud?

Unless you are able to restart your iPad to a running state - and successfully enter your Passcode - you'll not be able to recover any data from your iPad.
iPadOS uses an encrypted filesystem. Successful entry of your iPad Passcode unlocks the Secure Enclave (this being your iPad's security chip) within which the only copy of the encryption keys - that are required to access and decrypt your data - are stored.
Unless you have a pre-existing backup of your locally stored data, anything stored on your inoperable iPad will remain beyond reach.
If you value your data, always keep a backup.
Be aware that if your iPad was synchronising with iCloud, depending upon your settings, your photos and a large proportion of your data may remain accessible if you sign-in iCloud with your AppleID:
