How do I benefit?

They Multi-Ply Your Money!

They let you do what you couldn't do before!

They increase the effective size of your machine!

How do they do this?

These products rip rock up to 4 times faster than a hammer. They rip 10 times faster than a single pointed ripper. They greatly exceed all other designs of frost rock, or ripper buckets on the market. They rip to all depths leaving relatively flat bottom and side walls in the trench. The staggered shanks on an arc hit one at a time allowing the maximum breakout to be applied to each tooth. The tooth force is about 8.5 times that of a standard 5 tooth bucket because the shanks are short. Also, the shanks are the same distance from the stick pivot, so the shanks rip a relatively flat bottom.

Why should I believe that it works?

These products have been proven over the past 13 years and have been granted leters patents in the US and in many countries throughout the world. These designs won several design awards. Many customers have claimed this is the best attachment I've ever bought. See the endorsements...

Designed to handle the more severe frost and rock removal jobs, the Leading Edge Attachments, Inc.’s Multi-Ripper

(R)

is an engineering breakthrough! The Multi-Ripper can be used for a wide range of tough material applications such as excavating frozen ground, coral, sandstone, limestone, shale, decomposed granite and caliche. This unique patent pending design has demonstrated that it can dig 10 times faster than using a single pointed ripper tooth, and 4 times faster than a hydraulic hammer! Under severe digging conditions, the performance also exceeds other designs of frost, rock or DigNRip™ Buckets. This design is also a mining industry breakthrough for the purpose of wall and roof rock scaling! All Multi-Ripper Products are manufactured with superior Swedish HARDOX 400 steel plate. The Multi-Ripper is the absolute best and most productive ripper available on the market! The Multi-Ripper is available to fit any excavator or backhoe above 6,000 pounds.

2.    How Leading Edge Attachment, Inc.’s Multi-Ripper Works:

The Multi-Ripper utilizes the patent pending

which results in the unit functioning similarly to that of a trencher except it uses the hydraulic excavator rolling action to rip. The staggered ripper teeth fracture the substrate in sequential order. No two ripper teeth align with each other, so that the maximum breakout force is applied sequentially to each tooth. The distance from the excavator stick pivot to the tooth tips is also considerably shorter than the standard bucket for the machine. The shorter distance actually multiplies the tooth tip force. The castle top shape grooves cut by the front ripper teeth facilitates the fracturing process of the next swipe. The rolling of the Multi-Ripper, by extending the bucket cylinder, always provides the full multiplied breakout force individually on each tooth so that the substrate is ripped out by each individual tooth lifting action. The result is a relatively flat trench bottom due to the fact that the ripper tooth tips all lie on a constant radius with a center of rotation that is close to the tractor loader backhoe or hydraulic excavator “dipper stick” bucket pivot. The multiple teeth also push the loosened material out of the way to expose un-ripped material. The Multi-Ripper will function, and greatly exceed, any application, or material, that a single pointed ripper tooth can be used for.

3.    Multi-Ripper Operating Procedure:

With the stick in the near vertical position, use a combination of bucket and crowd cylinder functions while providing boom cylinder down pressure. The bucket cylinder action provides the greatest force while the stick sweeps. Since no two teeth are in alignment, when the Multi-Ripper is rolled, each tooth engages separately so that each tooth fractures the groove cut by the preceding tooth. Roll the Multi-Ripper completely as the stick is being moved so that all teeth have engaged the material. The Multi-Ripper is to be rolled as the stick is moved, thus causing a very powerful, fast and effective ripping motion that is easy on the machine and operator. The ripping action is so powerful that it is very important that the operator take safety precautions against projected objects, especially with brittle materials such as frost and certain rock. For this type of material, hard hats, safety glasses and an excavator steel mesh windshield guard are all necessary requirements.

"LEA, Inc. has brought a whole new dimension to rock excavation. As a utility and excavation contractor, I have purchased several large Multi-Ripper Buckets from Leading Edge Attachments. I have been amazed at the productivity that we have achieved with these buckets. They named the company correctly, because they are on the LEADING EDGE. In my 38 years working in the construction industry, I believe the Multi-Ripper Buckets are the greatest advance I have seen for excavating rock. LEA, Inc. has always done whatever it takes to satisfy me as a customer. I am proud to be associated with such a fine organization."
