Another impressive build has just rolled out of the West Buckland Plant fabrication workshop — a custom-built ripper attachment designed for an 85-ton excavator, engineered for a client overseas.
This project is a perfect example of the strength, precision and craftsmanship that define our fabrication work. Every part of this ripper has been built in-house by our specialist engineering team, ensuring maximum durability and performance in some of the toughest working environments on earth.
Built In-House at Our Devon Fabrication Centre
At West Buckland Plant, our capabilities extend beyond sales and servicing. Our dedicated fabrication warehouse allows us to mould, fabricate, design and create bespoke attachments and components tailored to our clients’ exact requirements.
From custom rippers and buckets to unique heavy-duty modifications, every project is completed using premium-grade materials and meticulous welding processes. The result — attachments that are not only built to last, but built to perform.
Serving Clients Worldwide
While we’re based in Devon, our reach goes far beyond the South West. This ripper was commissioned by an international client, reinforcing our reputation for global expertise and reliability. From Europe to the Middle East and beyond, we’re proud to supply engineered solutions that meet the needs of construction, mining and quarry operations across the world.
Engineering That Delivers Results
A ripper of this scale — built for an 85T excavator — is no small feat. It’s designed to tear through solid rock, shale and compacted ground with ease, reducing excavation time and maximising site productivity. The size and build quality of this unit reflect our commitment to producing equipment that performs under pressure.
