120-metric-ton class multi-ripper bucket

Hi-Cap Multi-Ripper Bucket is now available for the 120-metric-ton size class (220,000- to 300,000-pound class). The SHARC (staggered shanks on an arc) technology allows the attachment to slice through any ripable rock. There are no extra hydraulics involved; power comes from the curl function, the boom force and the crowd force. The principle uses a bucket along with the power of the excavator to create a 100-percent breakout force when each tooth comes into contact. The rolling of the Multi-Ripper Bucket always provides the full multiplied breakout force individually on each tooth so that the substrate is ripped out by each individual tooth lifting action. The result is a relatively flat trench bottom, and nice clean ripped sidewalls. One excavator and operator can perform the work normally done by two, without the use of trenchers, blasting or hammers.
