An excavator bucket is great for moving loose soil, but hard rock can damage the bucket teeth and hydraulic arms. A heavy-duty rock ripper for excavator units concentrates the entire breakout force of your machine onto a single sharp point. This design allows you to crack open hard surfaces before you start digging.
Using this attachment saves fuel because your machine does not fight the ground. It also reduces maintenance costs on your main buckets. We manufacture these attachments with high-strength steel plates to make sure they do not bend under high pressure.

YG Mini Digger Ripper Specs
If you operate a compact machine, a mini digger ripper is the best tool for tight workspaces. Small machines have less hydraulic power, so the attachment shape must be highly efficient to cut through tough ground.

Choosing The Right Excavator Ripper For Different Tonnages
Not all attachments fit every machine. Selecting the correct excavator ripper depends directly on the operating weight of your equipment. A tool that is too heavy will tip your machine, while a tool that is too light will break quickly.
- Mini Excavators (1 to 5 Tons): Features a slimmed 50mm high-tensile profile optimized for compact hydraulic flow. Engineered specifically for frozen topsoil, asphalt demolition, and tight-access utility trenches where larger hammers cannot navigate.
- Medium Excavators (6 to 20 Tons): Upgraded with 60mm-80mm main shank plates. Built to fracture medium-hard sedimentary rock, highly weathered shale, and deeply rooted forestry clearing sites where standard buckets stall.
- Large Mining Excavators (21 to 50 Tons): These heavy-duty tools are built for mining, quarrying, and breaking solid limestone slabs.
We match the ear plate dimensions exactly to your machine brand. Whether you use a quick coupler or a standard pin setup, the attachment will line up perfectly without extra modifications.

Extending Lifetime With A Quality Digger Ripper Tooth
The most critical wear zone on any attachment is the tip. A high-quality digger ripper tooth ensures that you do not have to stop work constantly for replacements. Our design uses a standard boot system that allows operators to change the tip in the field with a hammer and a pin remover.
- Hardness Material: We use alloy steel with excellent impact resistance to prevent cracking on solid rock.
- Side Protectors: Thick wear straps protect the main shank body from scraping against the sides of the trench.
- Streamlined Shape: The curved shank body helps the tooth enter the ground at the perfect angle to maximize hydraulic force.
Maintaining the tip prevents the main shank plate from wearing down. This keeps your operating costs low over long projects.


Installation Step Guide For New Operators
Installing this tool onto your machine is simple, but you must follow safety steps to avoid damage to the pins or quick hitch mechanism.
- Secure the Host: Park the excavator on a level concrete or hard-packed surface, fully retract the arm cylinder, lower the boom, and shut down the engine to vent residual hydraulic pressure.
- Coupler/Pin Alignment: Line up the stick nose or your quick-coupler hooks with the front pin bushes of the YG shank. Ensure the ear plate tolerances match your machine’s factory dimensions.
- Critical Step: Verify that the pin-retaining safety lock bolts are torqued to factory specifications to prevent lateral pin-drift during high-vibration rock ripping.
- Hydraulic Engagement: Engagement of the rear pin or lock the hydraulic quick hitch switch from the cabin. Visual check the safety indicator pin is fully extended.
- Clearance & Angle Test: Slowly execute a full curl and extended rotation test. Check that the upper spine of the ripper shank maintains a minimum 50mm clearance from the stick under-belly at maximum curl.
Regular greasing of the pin joints every eight hours of operation will prevent friction wear and extend the service life of the connection points.
Shipping Package And B2B Order Details
We understand that international transport requires safe and tough packaging. We prepare every B2B shipment to withstand long sea freight journeys and rough port handling.
- Standard Packaging: We secure each unit inside a strong, fumigation-free wooden case with steel straps.
- Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): Our factory accepts orders starting from 1 unit for quality testing.
- Production Lead Time: Standard models take 3 to 5 days, while custom pin sizes take 10-30 days.
Our engineering team can customize the ear plates based on your specific drawing sheets or machine model numbers. We double-check all dimensions before the final welding process.
