For Ripping, Prying, Stumping, Slab Or Cub Removal and Boulder Removal
Made with Hardox 400 or 450
By ripping a narrow V shaped trench, a utility line or cable can be laid in the bottom of the trench thus minimizing the amount of rock to be ripped and the handling of a lot of back fill material. In locations where rock bedding is required, the quantity of the bedding material is reduced to the very narrow trench bottom
After the rock is ripped by the tooth, the sides are ripped flat by the following side leading edges of the VRB. This cutting angle causes an upward displacement of the ripper material instead of binding the material by displacing the material side to side. With the VRB, displacing the material upwards causes a smoother ripping effect. The curved side leading edges also help to allow the operator to cradle and carry large boulders and stumps.
The advantages of the V-Raptor Bucket are as follows:
the operator can own an effective ripper/bucket combination that is considerably less expensive than any other combination product on the market. The price is only a small amount more, or comparable to that of a SPR.
and most importantly, the operator can scoop and clean out the ripped rock debris because the bucket has some capacity.
the operator will be achieving the full breakout force going through one tooth. This combined with the fact that the VRB can be shorter than the standard SPR also allows the breakout force to be higher
no other ripper/bucket combination on the market is shaped curved and narrow to facilitate prying.
for utility contractors laying cables or pipes in rock, the VRB rips a minimum amount of rock by not ripping the bottom corners of the trench, as compared to ripping a square shaped trench bottom.
just as not ripping the bottom corners of the trench saves time, it also saves time and material because the operator does not have to backfill the corners of the trench.
as compared to a single pointed ripper that leaves the sides in rough condition, the VRB shapes the sides of the V trench by scraping the angled side of the bucket against the ripped side walls, thus creating a uniform trench.
because as compared to a bucket, the narrow shape rips roots easier because it displaces less dirt, and as compared to a SPR, the shape makes it easier to grab and hold the stump for pulling and carrying because of the side leading edges.
because of the wider curved cupping shape, thus offering a wider support for trapping items between the VRB and the machine arm or thumb.
