Nye Ripper Buckets have earned a reputation for extreme service in hard shale. We have perfected the ripper bucket in terms of profile and tooth position for larger machines . These buckets consistently outperform “V” type buckets of all makes, allowing the operator to rip and load in one operation.
If you are working in shale you need a Nye Ripper Bucket.
Custom root rakes of all types and sizes. Nye heavy-duty rakes are cut from the very best high strength QT100 and AR400 alloy steels. Customers’ choice of teeth, rake width, tine length and spacing. Our improved tine profiles make Nye rakes the choice of contractors nation-wide. Available in direct pin-on or quick-coupler versions. Optional hydraulic thumb and root cutting blades.
Most versatile quick coupler system. Rugged QT100 construction. Wide coupling range. Simple and safe to operate.
Our most popular and versatile option for extra reach. Useful for deep excavating, demolition and dredging. No cutting, welding or extra hydraulics required. Parallel-Link extensions simply pin onto the end of your existing stick. QT100 structural steel, low hydrogen flux core welds, hardened alloy pins and bushings throughout ensure maximum durability on demanding jobs. Available for 8 to 100 ton machines.
Nye super heavy LSB series limestone buckets feature a new concept in easy to service “cleaver” cutting edges. These advanced “full convex” edges stay sharp longer than regular blades and are easy to service in the field thanks to the innovative blade clamping system.
A sharp cutting edge is crucial for splitting and separating layers of sedimentary rock. Conventional welded cutting edges with flame cut bevels tend to dull quickly, impacting performance and production. Changing a welded cutting edge is costly and time consuming, requiring special skills and equipment plus extended machine down time.
Nye’s new clamp in cutting edge system solves the dull-edge problem. The edges can be flipped or changed on site quickly by one man with a socket wrench, no welding or special tools required. The blade is in two pieces, so you can flip the blades and get four corners to wear instead of two giving twice the blade life and twice the production.
Advanced edge geometry – AR500 material with CNC machined “Full Convex” profiles make LSB edges stronger and longer lasting than flame-cut bevel or compound bevel cutting edges. The replacement blades are sophisticated, yet simple in design so replacement cost is minimal.
The bucket body is made with extra thick solid steel plate. The LSB850 has 100mm [4”] thick sides, top plate, basket and eyes plus 180mm [7”] thick laminated AR400 bottom. This extreme mass makes pounding seams and splitting rock easy.
With a heavy bucket and sharp edge the operator can separate layers of rock easily by pounding the cutting edge into seams and cracks. The mass of the bucket does the work, not the excavator, like a man using a sledge hammer delivering powerful blows with no injury to himself.
Nye heavy-duty excavator jibs pin-on in place of the bucket and increase reach for a wide variety of dredging, ditching, pond excavation, demolition, and high-reach applications.
Nye Jibs are available in 3 mounting configurations:
Type 1: Direct Pin – with increased pin center distance (Not Pin-Grabber compatible). Type 1 is the preferred mounting configuration because the increased mounting pin center distance increases the available tangential force at the Jib tip, and/or reduces the linkage forces for any given load.
Type 2: Pin-On – with standard pin center distance (Pin-Grabber compatible). Type 2 can be direct pinned, and can also be used with Pin-Grabber type Quick Attach Units. The owner must determine strength and suitability of the Pin-Grabber they intend to use.
Type 3: Dedicated Quick Coupler – with brand specific QC receiver group. Type 3 can only be mounted on a machine equipped with the corresponding Dedicated Quick Coupler, including Symmetric Type, Wedge-Style and other 3rd party systems. The owner must determine the strength and suitability of the Dedicated Quick Coupler they intend to use.
Standard bucket linkages and cylinders are available. All Nye Jibs are built with QT100 structural steel for maximum strength and minimum weight.

Nye HP (High Performance) buckets are designed to boost production. Nye HP buckets are built with thinner, stronger heat-treated alloy steels so they are very light, allowing faster cycle times. Designed specifically for basement contractors working in light to moderate conditions.
Gives more height. Converts easily.
Nye Manufacturing Ltd. designs and builds custom High-Lift brackets to fit various excavator sizes and models. Nye High-Lift brackets provide the extra ability for the operator to reach higher and perform moderate to high teardown/demolition jobs.Simple bracket welds to underside of the boom; The cylinders can be switched to operate in either the factory or Nye High-lift positions.

Heavy-Duty – buckets are built with extra thick materials in all wear areas and are designed for severe rock and shale applications where extra impact and abrasion resistance is required.
Nye has likely built more custom rippers for different machines than any other attachment manufacturer. Our extra heavy, virtually unbreakable rippers are available with various shank lengths, and tooth configurations, with ripping geometry optimized for frost, rock and shale. The “MOAR” is a new extra-heavy ripper concept designed to increase penetration. Our patented Swing-Tooth ripper was designed for trenching in shale and frozen ground, the shank is self-locking and requires no hydraulics. The RRW “Warhead” Trenching Ripper is our latest innovation, featuring a heavy frame with rear mounted side-fangs for deep trenching in bedrock, with no moving parts.
