About Ramtec Attachments
Ramtec Attachments is a Finnish attachment manufacturer based in Lahti. Ramtec produces its own Robi, Hytera and Kenguru product families and also operates as a contract manufacturer of welded and machined steel structures. The company says its current business began in 2002, building on manufacturing experience connected with the earlier Rammer operation. For buyers, the important point is that Ramtec is the manufacturer while Robi, Hytera and Kenguru are product brands within the group.
What does Ramtec Attachments manufacture?
- Robi demolition and handling grapples, crushers, pulverizers, screening buckets, hydraulic breakers and excavator buckets
- Hytera wheel-loader and tractor attachments such as gravel, high-tip and light-material buckets, log grapples and snow ploughs
- Kenguru hydraulic compacting plates for ground-compaction work
Machines and applications
The range covers excavators and wheel loaders, with products grouped for earthmoving, demolition and recycling. Ramtec also lists equipment for underground loaders. Carrier weight, hydraulic demand and the intended material or demolition task vary substantially between the product families, so model matching should be done at product level rather than by brand name alone.
Company and brand structure
Robi, Hytera and Kenguru are Ramtec-owned product brands rather than three separate manufacturers.
Choosing Ramtec Attachments equipment
Check carrier operating weight, required oil flow and pressure, attachment weight, mounting dimensions, rotation requirements and auxiliary hydraulic circuits. For demolition processors and breakers, also confirm tool geometry, jaw or tool size, site duty cycle and the carrier manufacturer’s permitted attachment mass.
Product range in context
The Ramtec Attachments attachment range includes grapples, hydraulic breakers, buckets, screening buckets, hydraulic compactors, pulverizers, crushers, and snow plows. Typical applications include demolition and deconstruction, scrap, waste and recycling, excavation and digging, compaction and ground improvement, and material handling and lifting. Compatibility depends on the exact attachment model, carrier size, mounting interface, hydraulic system and intended duty cycle. Compare the relevant product family first, then verify model-specific dimensions, weight, oil flow, operating pressure and control requirements for the machine and job.
What to compare within the Ramtec Attachments range
Within the Ramtec Attachments range, specifications differ by product family. Compare the main dimensions, carrier requirements, hydraulic demands and working limits shown below before treating two models as direct alternatives.
| Product area | Typical role | Key specification checks |
|---|---|---|
| Grapples | Sorting, loading and material handling. | Jaw geometry, opening, volume, rotator interface, service weight and hydraulic functions. |
| Hydraulic breakers | Breaking concrete, rock and other hard material. | Carrier class, breaker service weight, oil flow, operating pressure, tool size and mounting bracket. |
| Buckets | Digging, loading, grading or material handling. | Bucket width, volume, cutting edge or teeth, coupler interface and attachment mass. |
| Screening buckets | Screening soil, aggregate and mixed material. | Carrier weight, screen or basket size, hydraulic demand, material type and desired output fraction. |
| Hydraulic compactors | Ground and trench compaction. | Plate size, service weight, hydraulic flow and pressure, vibration system and mounting interface. |
| Pulverizers | Secondary concrete demolition and recycling. | Service weight, jaw opening, crushing force, tooth plates, rebar handling and hydraulic demand. |
Where Ramtec Attachments products fit
Application context matters for Ramtec Attachments equipment because the same attachment category can be configured very differently for different jobs. Other applications can place different demands on geometry, wear protection, hydraulic capacity, cycle time and carrier stability, so the intended duty should be defined before selecting a model.
- Demolition & deconstruction: tool weight, carrier stability, hydraulic service, working reach and wear-part access matter as much as headline cutting or breaking capability.
- Scrap, waste & recycling: material density, wear resistance, cycle time, gripping or cutting geometry and rotation requirements are key comparison points.
- Excavation & digging: bucket or tool geometry, breakout requirements, coupler dimensions and machine balance should be matched to the material and trench or loading task.
- Compaction & ground improvement: plate size, hydraulic supply, trench access, carrier reach and soil conditions affect the right setup.
Compatibility and installation checks
For Ramtec Attachments products, relevant carrier types include excavators and wheel loaders. A technically compatible attachment still needs to fit the machine, coupler and hydraulic system as a complete installed package. Compare mounting dimensions, operating weight, hydraulic flow and pressure, hose routing and any required electrical or control interfaces before ordering.
- Carrier operating weight and the carrier manufacturer’s permitted attachment mass.
- Available hydraulic flow, working pressure, return-line requirements and the number of auxiliary circuits.
- Pin dimensions, coupler standard, mounting geometry and any required adapter or bracket.
- Overall attachment height, working envelope, transport dimensions and hose routing.
Service, wear parts and ownership
Purchase price is only one part of attachment cost. When evaluating Ramtec Attachments, check access to pins, bushings, cutting edges, teeth, tines and other mechanical wear points, cutting, crushing or drilling wear parts and the time required to replace them, and service intervals, bushes, brushes, vibration components or other duty-specific consumables. Also compare parts availability, service documentation, dealer support and the practicality of carrying critical wear items on site. For high-hour attachments, small differences in maintenance access and parts lead time can matter more than a minor difference in initial price.
