Geith Excavator Attachments

Geith Ripper Tooth

The Geith Ripper Tooth is engineered to concentrate your excavator's digging force into a single point, making it the ideal attachment for breaking through rock, frozen ground, compacted soil, asphalt, tree roots, and other difficult materials. Designed for excavators from 4 to 75 tons, it combines exceptional penetration with rugged construction to improve productivity while reducing unnecessary stress on the excavator during demanding ripping applications.

Built for Tough Ground Conditions

The Geith Ripper Tooth is designed to tackle applications where conventional excavator buckets are less effective. By focusing hydraulic power through a single reinforced tooth, operators can efficiently loosen compacted ground, fracture rock, remove tree roots, break frozen soil, and prepare difficult terrain before excavation begins. Heavy-duty wear protection and replaceable components help keep maintenance simple while extending the attachment's working life.
