Key Features

High-Penetration Shank Profile

The pointed steel shank is engineered to concentrate the entire down-force of the excavator onto a single impact point. This physical layout allows for deep penetration into highly compacted ground, asphalt, and rock substrates during primary tearing cycles.

Standard CAT Ground-Engaging Tools

Every unit leaves the Brisbane facility fitted with standard CAT ground-engaging tool components for straightforward field maintenance. Utilising this globally recognised tooth and adapter system ensures fleet operators can source replacement parts quickly through local distribution channels.

Reinforced Head-Plate Corner Gussets

Additional structural gussets are welded across the corner joins of the main headplate to distribute torsional forces evenly. This targeted reinforcement prevents localised stress cracking around the hitch pins during high-impact demolition and rock-ripping operations.

Maximum Breakout Force Geometry

The curved shank geometry is optimised to work in perfect alignment with the bucket cylinder kinematics of the excavator. This specialised shape maximises the mechanical leverage of the machine, reducing arm drag while transferring maximum tearing power into the substrate.

Severe-Duty Demolition Build

The core framework is fabricated from thick high-tensile steel plate to withstand extreme twisting loads without bending. This robust construction makes the tool ideal for breaking up thick concrete slabs, layered shale, and frozen ground profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

These attachments are built to disrupt highly compacted earth, asphalt, layered rock, shale, and reinforced concrete during demolition works. The single-pointed layout focuses the excavator breakout power to fracture materials that standard buckets cannot penetrate.

We manufacture shanks to match machinery weights starting from 0.5-tonne compact mini excavators up to heavy-duty 60-tonne civil models. Every head plate is precisely machined to match the exact original equipment manufacturer pin pickup layout of your specific excavator.

The extra corner gussets provide a rigid brace between the hitch ears and the main base plate to absorb severe lateral twisting forces. This design stops the welded seams from fatiguing or tearing apart when the machine operator manoeuvres through dense, unyielding ground.

Every ripper is supplied standard with a high-durability CAT-style tooth and adapter setup pre-fitted to the nose of the shank. This industry-standard configuration ensures replacement teeth are universally accessible across all regional and metropolitan parts suppliers.

The thickness and sweeping curvature of the shank are engineered to align with the natural digging arc of the excavator boom. This geometric layout transfers the hydraulic pressure directly through the tip without flexing, allowing the machine to utilise its full mechanical breakout capacity.

Yes. While standard profiles are stocked at our Oxley hub, the local fabrication workshop can engineer customised shank lengths or specialised wear packages. The engineering team utilises our heavy workshop infrastructure to modify attachments to match distinct fleet parameters.
