Products by Attachment TypeHeavy Duty Single Tyne and Multi-Ripper™
Excavator Rippers are fast becoming standard equipment in areas where hard rock is a problem. With a quick change from a Bucket to a Ripper, light work is made of hard ground conditions.

Wedgelock Rippers have been designed for ripping of rock, demolition of concrete, stumping, hard rock digging and many other applications. The curved design allows for maximum crowd breakout at the tip and increased leverage through the ripping action. Wedgelock Rippers are fitted with replaceable penetration tips and are ruggedly constructed from high strength materials ensuring maximum wear and durability.

Wedgelock Multi-Ripper™
Wedgelock is proud also to be licensed to manufacture Leading Edge Attachments' award-winning Multi-Ripper™ for distribution in Australia and New Zealand.

The Multi-Ripper™ is designed to handle some of the toughest frost and rock removal jobs and can be used for a wide range of applications such as excavating frozen ground, coral, sandstone, limestone, shale and decomposed granite. Based on SHARC™ Technology, a patent pending technology developed by Leading Edge Attachments Inc., the Multi-Ripper™ functions similarly to a trencher only it uses the hydraulic excavator rolling action to rip. This unique design means the Multi-Ripper™ can dig ten times faster than using a single pointed ripper tooth and four times faster than a hydraulic hammer making it a far superior attachment for the toughest applications.

Features of Wedgelock Multi-Ripper™:

  • Available to fit any excavator or backhoe above 7.0 Tonne (15,400 Lbs)
  • Suitable for multiple applications including frost and rock removal, wall and roof rock scaling
  • Unique, patent pending design involves multiple shanks staggered on an arc so that each tooth hits individually
  • Considerably faster than a hydraulic hammer or single tyne ripper
  • Manufactured from high tensile steel plate for durability
  • Relatively smooth ripping operation means less wear on the machine
