Vibrating Ripper
The Vibrating Ripper (or Vibro Ripper) is a masterpiece of excavation innovation, designed specifically for mining and demolition projects. Utilising a unique vibrating mechanism, this advanced tool effortlessly breaks ground up to 5 times more efficiently than conventional rock breakers. When drilling and blasting are not permissible, the Vibrating Ripper is the superior choice. The advanced vibrating mechanism provides a more controlled, precise and safe operation than other options. Made with durable, high-strength HARDOX400, the body of the Vibrating Ripper is built to withstand intense vibrations and repeated impacts. The advanced protection design also protects against damage and debris to ensure the attachment is well protected and increases longevity.

Large Eccentric Gears: Bigger and heavier eccentric gears provide stronger torque and create more kinetic energy which leads to greater power output and efficient performance. Break through the materials such as concrete, rocks and compacted soil with ease. Eccentric gears are arranged vertically, which align the centre of breaking, while eccentric gears have a horizontal gear arrangement.
Noise Reduction: Significantly quieter when compared to traditional hydraulic breakers. Achieve noise levels 25dB lower on average than hydraulic breakers, allowing for using in noise sensitive areas, improving operator comfort and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.
Dual Air Cushion: Absorb shocks and reduce transmission to the excavator and operator with dual nitrogen-filled air cushions. Improve operator comfort while reducing stress on the excavator and improving attachment performance.
Axial Piston Motor: The hydraulic motor provides high maximum pressure, ensuring reliable power and performance of the ripper. Penetrate and loosen densely packed materials with ease with the strong performance of the motor. The motor housing is designed to guard against debris and any potential damage, to protect the longevity and reliability of the attachment.
Replaceable Shank & Tooth: The shank and tooth are replaceable, ensuring the Vibro Ripper has a prolonged lifespan. As the tooth wears down over time and use, you can bolt on a new shank, maintaining the efficiency and extending the durability of the ripper. This feature significantly reduces the need for frequent full replacements, offering long-term cost savings and uninterrupted performance.
Breather Plug: With proper breather plug installation, the attachment can be used for underwater operations, allowing for enhanced versatility for any job.

High Performance
Our Vibrating Ripper uses the latest in excavation technology to provide exceptional performance and versatility for a wide range of excavation applications. When it comes to excavating hard ground types such as sandstone, basalt, gabbro and gneiss, conventional rock breakers have been the standard option for many years. However, during testing it can be seen that the Vibrating Ripper has shown to outperform conventional rock breakers by offering up to 5 times more production in the 25-50 Mpa range, when operating on softer ground types.The superior performance in soft ground types allows for significant cost savings due to the increased productivity and safety that our Vibrating Ripper provides. Some of the main benefits are faster completion times, reduced fuel consumption, lower maintenance costs and improved efficiency. These all lead to better efficiencies and will ultimately improve your bottom line.
Low Disruption
During field testing, it has been found that our Vibrating Ripper attachment produces less than 50% of the noise of conventional breakers.The lower noise levels reduce the risk of damage to hearing and other occupational health hazards associated with prolonged exposure to high levels of noise. Additionally, reducing noise pollution to surrounding areas improves compliance and has a positive environmental impact.The testing data in the graph shown clearly shows the significant difference in sound levels emitted from the use of conventional rock breakers compared to the superior Vibrating Ripper.

Aussie Buckets were very professional from start to finish with my recent purchase of a Ripper. Great product, price and service.
Craig Drew
I made an initial inquiry to Aussie Buckets from their FB post. One of their sales team got back to me promptly. They were not pushy and quoted me on my inquiry for a bucket to suit my machine. Price was fair and i made the decision to place an order. The process was smooth and great communication along the way. I collected the bucket and was pleased with the way it turned out. Will return to Aussie buckets for any additional needs in the future and also happy to share my recommendations. Thanks to the team at Aussie Buckets. 👍🏼

I'm extremely happy with my new Hydraulic Grab from Aussie Buckets. The price was great, the service was on point and the product is of a high quality. It has certainly saved me a lot of time and energy.
Tom Koeller
Slight delays as is expected in the current climate but what was nice to see was the constant communication. Bucket arrived and very happy with the quality.
Chris Matthews
The team at Aussie Buckets went above and beyond to help me decide on buying a Hammer for my 5t excavator. From the numerous phone calls and emails to the warehouse walk through to show me what I would be purchasing. For literally under half the price of the competition for a product that does not disappoint and has a warranty that is in some cases 5x the competition! Thanks guys I will be certainly buying more products from you in the future! Regards, Concise Civil Group
Antonie Papazoglov
I am very happy with my Log Grabber. I can pick up rocks and heavy logs. Aussie Buckets were great to deal with, very happy.

Excellent service experience with Aussie Buckets. When I received my bucket it was well packed and supported on the pallet, this item has definitely made my job easier. Thanks Aussie Buckets.
Chris Scott
Aussie Buckets for the win. Hydraulic grab is awesome; strong bite and great price - would fully recommend buying.
Chris Ahearn
New Stick Rake from Aussie Buckets. Can do a range of different things around home. Easy, great fit.
David Toogood
I've just bought the quick hitch and it's an absolute weapon.
Ken M
I've had an Aussie Buckets Hydraulic Grab now for almost 2 years and it hasn't missed a beat. Don't let the affordable price fool you, I have punished and lifted weights that far exceed the recommended limits and my grab is just as good as the day I bought it. I've cleared so much land and completed so much heavy logging with this grab that its paid for itself ten times over. Now, I am mainly using the Grab for my sawmill and building larg log structures, again this product has excelled. Initially we were hesitant making a purchase as there is a small wait time, this wasn't a problem as communication was excellent and they only required a 50% deposit to make the order. Hope this review gives confidence buying.

Rosy Caldow
From start to finish this was a great experience. Nothing was a problem and I personally spoke to people, constantly getting updates. I picked up the Stick Rake from the Melbourne warehouse and another great experience with the team there. I have put a good amount of hours on the rake and it’s a great product.
Craig Hanrahan
Bought a Hydraulic Thumb and a Ripper for my 8.5 tonne Takeuchi. Have had a few mechanical issues with my machine so I've only been able to start using the thumb today. So far so good, I have never had a thumb before so it took a while to get the hang of it but all good now. Communication from the company was good, and the products turned up pretty close to the estimated delivery date at the time of purchase. I am thinking of buying a Sieve Bucket through Aussie Buckets as my initial experience was good. Prices seem to be fair.

From valuable information when enquiring about a grab for my mini excavator to the delivery. Aussie Buckets has been helpful and well worth it becoming a customer. I got a better suited attachment than I initially thought I needed, had timely and accurate email contact with smooth and on time delivery. The Hydraulic Grab was just what I needed to build the rock wall.

Aussie Buckets delivered exactly what they said they would. They were very helpful with initial advice all the way through to ensuring the dimensions were correct before finalising the order. The Grab Bucket is a great addition to my 5T excavator.

Recently purchased a new 300mm trenching bucket and ripper from the team at Aussie buckets and am extremely happy with the build quality of both products. Both the ripper and bucket are extensively reinforced and will definitely go the distance and get the job done. I recently completed two 250 meter trenches through hill gravel and rock and the bucket didn’t brake a sweet. And their customer support and order progress reports are excellent.

From the price to the service, all the way through to the product, has been nothing but exceptional. Unlike other bucket manufacturers that just sell their standard design, AB will go the extra length to make the attachments work for you.
