Speed in Trenching & Pipeline Projects: Ripper & Bucket Selection

Speed is everything in sewage, water, or gas pipeline projects. Using a breaker constantly over kilometers increases costs, while using only a bucket on hard ground strains the machine.

1. Ground Loosening with Ripper

In grounds like hard clay or frozen soil, using a Ripper instead of a breaker reduces fuel costs by 50%. Ground ripped by the ripper can be cleared very quickly with a bucket.

2. Auger for Pole Erection

For power transmission lines or fencing projects, using a Hydraulic Auger instead of digging wide pits with a bucket saves on concrete and allows drilling hundreds of holes per day.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Which is faster, Ripper or Breaker?
A: If the ground is "rippable" (clay, frost, soft limestone), the Ripper is 300% faster. However, if it is solid rock (granite), the Ripper won't work; you must use a breaker.

Q: How to solve vibration issues in trenching?
A: To avoid damaging buildings when laying pipelines in the city, "Drum Cutters" or "Vibration-Damped Breakers" should be preferred.
