A ripper attachment is used in conjunction with excavator-type construction machinery, either mounted via a quick coupler attachment or manually. It is employed on construction sites, quarries, and excavation areas. The ripper attachment is effective in breaking apart and extracting large rock masses that cannot be removed with a bucket.
GALEN manufactures heavy-duty ripper attachments in dimensions suitable for machines of all tonnages and models. The attachment consists of a mounting bracket, a HARDOX 450 high-strength, wear-resistant steel main body welded to the bracket, and a replaceable cast shank, pin, and segment heavy-duty tooth.
In rocky and stony terrain conditions where a bucket cannot progress, it allows for easier and faster separation and removal of rocks, saving time and fuel, and minimizing labor costs. Thus, it increases operational efficiency and provides high work productivity.
