Quote checklist
Rippers are matched to machine size and ground conditions. Tell us what the attachment needs to break so we can advise whether a ripper, hammer or different attachment makes more sense.
It helps the team confirm fitment, availability and freight faster.
An excavator ripper is a single-tine attachment that concentrates all the excavator's breakout force into a narrow point. This makes it incredibly effective at penetrating hard materials that a bucket simply can't dig through.
Unlike hydraulic hammers that require additional hydraulic circuits, rippers operate mechanically using only the bucket cylinder. This makes them a cost-effective solution for breaking hard ground without the complexity of hydraulic attachments.
Our rippers feature high-strength steel shanks with replaceable hardened tips, ensuring long service life even in the toughest Australian conditions.
Rippers excel in conditions where standard buckets struggle to penetrate.
Penetrate compacted soil, shale, and hard clay that a bucket can't dig through. Essential for site preparation.
Break up soft to medium rock without a hydraulic hammer. Cost-effective for smaller rock formations.
Pierce through frozen soil in winter conditions. The single-point force concentration breaks through ice layers.
Rip out tree roots and stumps during land clearing. Works in conjunction with buckets and grabs.
Ripper shank thickness is matched to your excavator's breakout force to prevent bending under load.
