Ripper Buckets

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.

Rakes

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.

Blade Forks

Nye builds a wide variety of custom loader Forks. Call us today for a quote on the forks you require.

Loader Buckets

Nye builds a wide variety of custom loader attachments. Our loader buckets are built to order so you always get the correct bucket for your application.

Limestone Buckets

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.

Jibs

Nye builds custom heavy-duty excavator jibs for a wide variety dredging, demolition and high-reach applications.

Nye jibs pin-on in place of your bucket and increase the reach of your excavator. For most applications, Nye recommends direct pin-on mounting with increased pin centers for durability and improved digging forces.

Standard bucket linkages and cylinders are available and are usually one size class smaller than the base machine depending on jib length and application.

All Nye Jibs are built with QT100 structural steel for maximum strength and minimum weight.

HP Buckets

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.

HD Buckets

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.

Excavator Rippers

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.

 

Ripper Feature Matrix

Engine Puller / Stripper

The Nye EXT is a heavy-duty stripping and sorting tool with continuous rotation and integral shear blade. The hydraulic rotator allows the operator to grip, flip, snip, rotate and pull a car to pieces in just a few minutes. The QT100 frame is super strong, and the replaceable tips mesh point to point for excellent fine picking and sorting.
