Leading Edge Attachments, Inc.® now offers the patented Multi-Ripper® Talon^TM Bucket as the new addition to the Multi-Ripper SHARC Product line. LEA Multi-Ripper Products have shown to replace hammers, blasting and rock trenchers, for a fraction of the cost. Designed mainly for utility pipeline contractors, the new Multi-Ripper Talon Bucket works on the same principal as the award winning Multi-Ripper Bucket, except the bucket is very narrow, and the leading edges have been redesigned so that the center rib can be eliminated, thus improving capacity fill and dumping for a narrow bucket. The performance of this style bucket greatly exceeds all other designs of rock bucket ripper combinations and has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by avoiding the use of rock trenchers, hammers and blasting. The Multi-Ripper Talon Bucket is the newest addition to the highest quality and most productive rock ripper bucket combinations available on the market.

The Multi-Ripper Talon Bucket utilizes the worldwide patented SHARC^TM (SHanks on an ARC) Technology, meaning that the bucket functions similarly to that of a trencher except it uses the hydraulic excavator rolling action to rip. The staggered ripper teeth fracture the substrate in sequential order, so that the rolling of the Multi-Ripper Talon Bucket, by extending the bucket cylinder, always provides maximum breakout force applied sequentially to each tooth, one tooth at a time. The results are flat ripped sides and bottom surfaces replacing rock trenchers for a tremendous cost savings. LEA, Inc. Products will be shown in Las Vegas Conexpo 2014 in Central 1 Hall Booth 31040.
