An excavator ripper attachment is a tool that fits on your excavator’s arm. It has one sharp, strong tooth. This tooth focuses all the machine’s power into one small point. That makes it much easier to break hard ground.
The excavator ripper attachment works when other tools cannot. Standard buckets struggle with frozen soil, rocky ground, or asphalt. But the ripper tooth cuts through these tough materials. It saves time and protects your other attachments from damage.
YG Machinery makes high-quality ripper attachments for many excavator sizes. Our models fit machines from 1 ton up to 90 tons. You can find the right excavator ripper attachment for your project, whether it is small or large.

5 Features Of YG Excavator Ripper Attachment
YG’s excavator ripper attachment has features that make it reliable and effective. Here is what you can expect:
Made From Strong Materials
The ripper uses high-strength steel plates with thickness from 50mm to 100mm. This material resists wear and corrosion. The tooth is made from hardened alloy steel that lasts longer. YG offers FR50, DH150, DH220, D85C, 4T5502-2, 4T5502, and D11 tooth models for different job needs.
Fits Many Excavator Sizes
We offer nine standard models. They fit small, medium, and large excavators. This includes machines from 1 ton up to 90 tons. For excavators over 40 tons, we offer YG17 and YG20 with customized options.
Simple And Strong Design
The attachment has few moving parts. This means less can break. The simple design also makes maintenance easy. You spend less time fixing and more time working.
Sharp Tooth For Better Penetration
The single sharp tooth concentrates force. It pierces through compacted layers with ease. This makes breaking hard ground faster and more efficient.
Reinforced Structure
The shank and side plates have extra reinforcement. This gives stability during heavy work. It helps the excavator ripper attachment last longer.

Where To Use An Excavator Ripper Attachment
An excavator ripper attachment is useful in many jobs. Here are the most common uses:
Breaking Hard Or Frozen Ground
When the ground is too hard for a bucket, use a ripper. It breaks through compacted soil and frost-hardened earth. This is common in construction during winter months. YG rippers with D11 teeth work best for the toughest frozen conditions.
Removing Tree Stumps
Tree stumps have deep roots. A ripper attachment breaks the soil around the stump. Then you can lift the stump out. Landscapers and forestry workers use rippers for this task. Models like YG06 and YG08 are popular for this work.
Demolishing Concrete And Asphalt
Rippers tear through concrete slabs and asphalt. They work well for road repairs and building demolition. The focused power prevents damage to the excavator. The 4T5502 tooth model on YG10 and YG14 is ideal for demolition jobs.
Clearing Rocks And Boulders
Embedded rocks slow down digging. A ripper attachment loosens the soil around them. This makes it easier to remove the rocks. Mining and road construction projects benefit from this. Heavier models like YG17 and above handle large boulders with ease.
Digging Trenches
Rippers are great for digging narrow trenches. They work well in hard soil or rocky ground. This helps with laying pipes and cables quickly. The opening size on YG rippers ranges from 150mm to 500mm, giving you flexibility for different trench widths.

How To Choose The Right Excavator Ripper Attachment
Picking the correct excavator ripper attachment is important. Here are the factors to consider:
- Your Excavator Size: Match the ripper model to your machine’s weight. Using the wrong size reduces efficiency. It can also damage your equipment. Check the specifications table above. For 4-6 ton excavators, choose YG02.
- Shaft Diameter Compatibility: Make sure the pin diameter fits your excavator arm. YG offers shaft diameters from 40mm to 110mm. For larger machines over 50 tons, we customize the shaft diameter to match your excavator.
- Material You Will Break: Different jobs need different teeth. FR50 and DH150 teeth work for lighter jobs. D85C and 4T5502 series handle medium to heavy work. D11 teeth are for the hardest conditions. Tell YG your project needs.
- Opening Size: Consider the material size you will handle. Opening sizes range from 150mm to 500mm. Larger openings allow you to grip bigger rocks and stumps.
- Work Conditions: Consider how often you will use the ripper. Heavy daily use needs extra-strong materials. YG rippers use 50-100mm thick steel plates for harsh conditions. Thicker plates mean longer life.
How To Maintain Your Excavator Ripper Attachment
Good maintenance keeps your excavator ripper attachment working well. Follow these simple tips:
Clean After Each Use
Remove dirt and debris after work. This prevents rust and corrosion. A clean ripper lasts much longer.
Inspect The Tooth Regularly
The tooth takes the most wear. Check if it is dull or chipped. Replace it when needed. A sharp tooth works better and puts less strain on the machine. YG offers replacement teeth for all models from FR50 to D11.
Check For Cracks
Look at the shank and side plates. Cracks can grow and cause failure. Catching them early saves money on repairs. Pay special attention to the main plate which is 50-100mm thick.
Replace Worn Parts Promptly
Do not wait too long to change parts. Worn components reduce efficiency. They can also damage other parts of the attachment. Keep spare teeth and pins ready for quick replacement.
Lubricate Moving Parts
Keep pivot points well-lubricated. This reduces friction and wear. It also ensures smooth operation. Use quality grease for best results.
Store Properly
Keep the ripper in a covered area. Protect it from harsh weather. Proper storage prevents rust and damage. This is especially important for the tooth and shaft areas.
