120-metric-ton class size bucket for ripping rock

120-metric-ton class size bucket for ripping rock
The Multi-Ripper Bucket for ripping and digging rock is now available in a new larger 120-metric-ton size class (220,000- to 300,000-pound class). Called the Hi-Cap Multi-Ripper Bucket, it is available for larger machines (i.e. Hitachi EX1200, Komatsu PC1250) and the wider versions have five shanks.

The SHARC “staggered shanks on an arc” technology allows the Hi-Cap Multi-Ripper Bucket to slice through any ripable rock. There are no extra hydraulics involved. Its 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.
