Built from Hardox 500 steel, the NZ-made DiggerKnife Ripper delivers serious breakout power and durability across the country’s toughest terrain
In New Zealand’s demanding terrain, the right tool can make all the difference. Whether battling clay-heavy paddocks, compacted farm tracks, stubborn quarry layers, or dense forest roots, the DiggerKnife Ripper could be the answer.
Designed for excavators from one to 45 tonnes and purpose-built from Hardox 500 steel, one of the most wear-resistant and durable steels available today, it helps deliver maximum breakout force to slice through tough ground.
Right: The ripper embodies Kiwi ingenuity and rugged reliability
Crafted with precision, the Hardox construction not only provides superior strength and extreme wear resistance, but also ensures the ripper withstands repeated onsite abuse without bending, chipping, or breaking – a critical feature when cutting through brownstone, bluerock, tree stumps, and even asphalt.
The story of DiggerKnife began in 2008 when Bart Wichmann of ETNGroup introduced the concept to New Zealand. Since then, the DiggerKnife has earned its stripes across multiple industries – from rural farms clearing stumps and digging drainage trenches, to quarries blasting through dense rock layers.
Crafted with local expertise and proudly 100 % New Zealand made, the ripper embodies Kiwi ingenuity and rugged reliability.
The ripper’s precision engineering optimises its breakout power, and its quality construction can lead to a significantly longer lifespan than standard ripper attachments – translating into real productivity gains and cost savings on site.
Suitable for civil construction, demolition, forestry, quarrying, or farm drainage, the DiggerKnife can help deliver a reliable ‘cutting edge’ advantage.
