Demand for rippers and buckets has surged in recent weeks, with orders coming in thick and fast from contractors, operators, and plant owners across the UK. At West Buckland Plant, our workshop team has been flat out meeting that demand — designing, fabricating and preparing attachments ready for immediate deployment.
If there’s one thing the colder months bring, it’s a push to get equipment ready for tougher ground conditions — and rippers in particular are selling like hot cakes.
Heavy-Duty Rippers Built for Serious Ground Conditions
Our fabrication workshop has been producing 65mm and 80mm ripper attachments, engineered to fit medium and large excavators. These rippers are designed to break through hard ground, compacted stone, clay and challenging materials where standard buckets simply won’t cut it.
Built using high-grade steel and proven designs, each ripper is manufactured to withstand demanding workloads while delivering consistent performance on site. Whether for groundwork, quarrying or demolition preparation, these attachments are built for operators who need reliability under pressure.
Buckets Ready to Go: 1200mm and 1800mm Sizes
Alongside rippers, we’ve also seen strong demand for excavator buckets, with 1200mm and 1800mm buckets currently coming through the workshop. These bucket sizes are ideal for a wide range of applications, from bulk excavation to loading and site clearance.
As with all our attachments, buckets are fabricated with durability, wear resistance and practical site use in mind — ensuring they stand up to real-world conditions, not just showroom expectations.
Nationwide Delivery via West Buckland Haulage
Once production is complete, getting attachments where they need to be is seamless thanks to West Buckland Haulage. Our haulage fleet is ready to transport rippers, buckets and attachments nationwide, ensuring fast and reliable delivery to site, yard or depot.
