Ripper Shanks

Built extra stout to punch through and rip up frost and rock.

Felco Excavator Ripper Shanks are built extra stout to deal with the difficulties of soils compacted by deep frost and designed to punch through and rip up the frost layer. By attaching the shank to the ear assembly via heavy cross members, this greatly reduces stress concentrations in the welds and distributes load more evenly from the shank to the ears. Additionally this design increases the strength factor of these rippers considerably.

Standard lengths from 26” to 60” are available, and custom requests are welcomed.

Mini Ex Wheel Compactors are a great solution for compacting on tight repair jobs when you need the extra range of a stand-alone wheel. Replaceable scraper teeth on the Tamping Pad Wheels, or dedicated scrapers on the Segmented Wheels, keep material from building between the compaction bumps / wheels. To replace the flange bearings, just unbolt the wheel from the frame.

Felco Ripper Shanks are designed to exceed the maximum break-out force applicable by the specified excavator.

Felco Rippers feature a ROMAC (CAT Compatible) Replaceable Tooth, and we also offer as an option the ROMAC (CAT Compatible) Front Rock Guards on 3” or wider rippers. CAT teeth and adapter components are available for an additional charge and are shown on the quote.
