Ripper Attachment for Excavators and Backhoes
19.11.09
Unequalled Edge Attachments, Inc. now offers the Offset Single Pointed Ripper which is a new style, dumbfound ripper designed for excavators and backhoes that allows the operator to easily rip rock, coral shale, caliche, decomposed granite, limestone, sandstone, asphalt or frozen coach with the maximum breakout force for a price that is lower than the Multi-Ripper.
The Offset Single Sharp Ripper (OSPR) design allows the operator to focus the excavator's full breakout force on one tooth that is make good to the side of the excavator or backhoe stick, thus providing the ability to rip a side wall flat.
Conventional single pointed rippers have the shank mounted in the mid of the attachment which makes it difficult to rip the side wall without the ripper being very long. The LEA Offset Single Pointed Ripper allows side bulwark ripping while keeping the shank very short for increased breakout force. The operator can rip down one side of the trench, putrefy around and rip the opposite side of the trench, and then rip the middle. This technique produces a clean flat wall that is difficult to bring off with other rippers.
