Yes. Prices on rippaaus.com.au are in Australian dollars and are shown including GST. You will see “inc GST” beside each price, on machines, attachments and apparel alike.

If you need a formal tax invoice for your business, ask our team at info@rippaaus.com.au.

Contact us straight away if you need to change or cancel. Under our refund policy, a cancellation can be requested before the order is placed with the manufacturer. After the order has been submitted or processing has begun, it can no longer be cancelled.

Call 1300 263 551 so we can check where your order is up to.

Machinery sales are final once the order is confirmed. Our refund policy explains that heavy equipment is not returnable for change of mind once it has been confirmed or shipped.

This does not limit your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. If something is wrong with your machine, contact us and see the warranty page.

You sign the Owner’s Package before pickup or shipping. It includes the Bill of Sale, the Pre-Delivery Inspection Confirmation and a Waiver of Liability, as set out in our refund policy.

Signing confirms you accept the equipment in satisfactory condition, so read the documents and ask us any questions first.

Please call first. Our office is at 1/14 Wheeler Crescent, Currumbin Waters QLD 4223, and the team can tell you which models can be viewed and when.

Yes. Rippa works with two finance partners, Emu Money and FD Finance, so you can spread the cost of a mini excavator, skid steer, attachments or a complete package.

Finance is subject to approval. Terms, conditions, fees and charges may apply. See the finance page for both options.

Apply online in four steps: choose your equipment, complete the secure application with Emu Money or FD Finance, get approved, then arrange your machine with us.

Start on the finance page, or send a finance enquiry and we will point you to the right partner.

Most approvals are turned around within 24 to 48 hours, according to our finance partners. Timing depends on the lender and on how quickly the documents they ask for are supplied.

You deal with a dedicated broker, not a call centre. See the finance page.

Yes. The finance page has an Emu Money repayment calculator. Move the slider to your equipment cost to see estimated repayments.

The figure is an estimate only. Your actual rate and repayments are confirmed by the lender after you apply, and finance is subject to approval.

Yes. Finance can be structured to cover mini excavators, skid steers, attachments and complete packages, so buckets, augers or a breaker can be included with the machine.

Tell the broker everything you want on the quote before you apply. Details are on the finance page.

They are Rippa’s two finance partners. Emu Money provides quick online quotes and a repayment calculator. FD Finance provides equipment finance arranged by a broker for your Rippa purchase.

Both give you access to a panel of lenders. Links to each are on the finance page.

No. Finance is subject to approval by the lender, and terms, conditions, fees and charges may apply. Rippa does not make the lending decision.

If you would like to talk through other ways to pay, call 1300 263 551 or email info@rippaaus.com.au.

Machines are freighted to the nearest approved freight depot unless we agree something else in writing. They need specialised trailers, loading equipment and compliant transport providers, so freight is quoted for each order.

Full details are in our shipping policy.

Freight for machines is quoted on enquiry. The cost depends on the machine’s size and weight, your location, carrier availability and access requirements, so we do not publish a fixed rate.

Request a quote with your postcode and we will price freight to your nearest depot.

Not as standard. Standard freight is to the closest nominated depot in the transport network. Direct-to-site or residential delivery may be available by separate quotation, depending on access, location and subcontractor availability.

Tell us about your site when you request a quote.

You do, unless we arrange otherwise beforehand. Under our shipping policy, depot collection and the final transport from the depot are the customer’s responsibility.

If you would like us to quote onward transport from the depot to your site, ask before you order.

There can be. Tailgate delivery, crane trucks, limited-access sites and remote locations may incur additional charges. Subcontractor transport pricing can also vary and may change without notice.

Give us accurate site and access details so your quote is right the first time.

Yes. We supply machines to customers across Australia, with freight quoted by location to the nearest depot in the transport network.

For remote areas, freight options depend on carrier availability. Request a quote with your postcode, or call 1300 263 551.

It depends on the model, your location and carrier availability, so we confirm timing with your quote rather than publish a fixed timeframe.

Ask for the current lead time when you request a quote, or call 1300 263 551 for an update on an existing order.

Ask us when you order. Pickup arrangements are confirmed by our team for each order, and payment must clear before a machine is released.

Our office is at 1/14 Wheeler Crescent, Currumbin Waters QLD 4223. Call 1300 263 551 to check whether collection is available for your machine.

Title and risk of loss transfer to the purchaser at the point of shipment, as set out in our refund policy. That is when the equipment leaves our facility or is dispatched with a freight carrier.

Consider arranging your own insurance cover from that point.

Rippa warranty coverage runs for 3 months, 6 months or 1 year depending on the component. Seats are covered for 3 months, a group of electrical, engine-management and wear-related parts for 6 months, and major hydraulic, drive and structural components for 1 year.

Hitches are listed per model, for example for the R10/R13/R15 attachments and the R22.

Rules differ between states and territories and between private and workplace use, so check with your state or territory work health and safety regulator. In a workplace, operators generally need to be trained and competent on the machine.

This is general guidance only, not legal advice.

It depends on the machine’s weight and on your trailer and vehicle ratings. Start with the operating weight on the product page, from 747 kg for the R06 to 3,371 kg for the R32, then add buckets, attachments and fuel.

Check your trailer’s rated capacity, your vehicle’s towing limits and your state or territory road transport rules before you tow.

Listed transport sizes (length × width × height) are: R10 2,430 × 912 × 2,201 mm; R13 2,273 × 849 × 2,377 mm; R15 2,327 × 983 × 2,243 mm; R18 2,403 × 989 × 2,322 mm; R22 2,824 × 1,300 × 2,361 mm; R32 2,921 × 1,550 × 2,369 mm.

Use the figure on your machine’s own plate and manual when planning transport or lifting.

Requirements vary. Registration or permit rules can apply when plant is driven on or across public roads, and they differ in each state and territory. Using a machine only on private property is often treated differently.

Check with your state or territory road transport authority. This is general guidance, not legal advice.

Follow the loading and tie-down instructions in your user manual and your state or territory load restraint rules. As general practice, use ramps rated for the machine’s weight, lower the boom and attachments, and restrain the machine with rated chains or straps.

If you are unsure, use a professional transport provider.

Store it under cover where you can, on firm level ground, with the attachment lowered to the ground. Keeping the machine clean and dry helps in dusty and wet conditions.

Your user manual has the storage steps for longer periods. Manuals are in the Documents section of each product page.

The user manual for each model covers the controls and safe operation, and can be downloaded from the product page. Ask our team about hand-over when you order.

For workplace use, check the training and competency requirements of your state or territory safety regulator.

Follow the service schedule in your user manual. It sets the intervals for engine, hydraulic and undercarriage checks. Under severe working conditions the intervals must be shortened, and that is also a condition of the warranty.

See the warranty page and download your manual from the product page.

Use the original oil and accessories specified for your machine. The warranty page states that the warranty is void if these are not used for maintenance.

Oil types and capacities are in your user manual. For genuine filters and service parts, request a quote on the Parts & Servicing page.

Do the daily checks in your user manual. As general practice these include fluid levels, leaks, track condition and tension, pins and the quick hitch lock, lights, and that the controls and safety devices work.

If something is not right, do not operate the machine until it is fixed.

Follow the procedure in your user manual for your model. The product pages list mechanical track tensioning for the R10, R13 and R15, and a grease-type tensioner for the R18.

Tracks that are too loose or too tight wear faster. If you need a new tensioner, see the Parts & Servicing page.

Work through the starting checks in your user manual first, such as fuel, battery condition and connections, and the safety lever or switch positions. Do not keep cranking a machine that will not fire.

If it still will not start, contact us on 1300 263 551 or WhatsApp on +61 434 083 031 with your model and a short video.

Stop work, lower the attachment to the ground and shut the machine down. Hydraulic oil under pressure can cause serious injury, so do not search for leaks with your hands.

Operating weight is the weight of the machine ready to work, including its standard equipment and fluids. It is the figure to start from when you plan transport and check trailer capacity.

For example, the listed operating weight of the R15 is 1,445 kg. Attachments add to it.

Zero tail swing means the rear of the upper body stays within the width of the tracks as the machine slews. It lets you work close to walls and obstacles with less risk of the counterweight striking them.

The Rippa R32 PRO is described as a zero-tail-swing excavator.

Auxiliary hydraulics are an extra hydraulic circuit that powers attachments such as breakers, augers, grapples and hydraulic thumbs. The attachment connects to the machine with hoses and couplings.

Check that an attachment is listed for your model before buying. See the excavator attachments.

A quick hitch, also called a quick coupler or quick change, is a device on the end of the arm that lets you swap buckets and attachments without removing the pins by hand each time. It can be mechanical or hydraulic.

Always confirm the attachment is locked before you work.

Digging force, sometimes called breakout force, is the force the machine can apply at the bucket to break into the ground. A higher figure helps in hard or compacted soil.

Listed maximum digging forces include 9.2 kN for the R10, 12.8 kN for the R18 and 18.4 kN for the R22.

A swing boom pivots left and right at its base, independently of the upper body. It lets you dig alongside a wall or fence, or offset a trench, without repositioning the whole machine.

The R10, R13, R15 and R18 are listed with a swing boom, and the R06 has boom side swing and offset.

Gradeability is the steepest slope the manufacturer lists the machine as able to climb, shown as a percentage. Rippa mini excavators list 30%.

It is not a safe working limit for every site. Slope, ground and load all affect stability, so follow your user manual.

Ground pressure is the machine’s weight spread over the area of its tracks, measured in kilopascals (kPa). Lower ground pressure means less sinking and less surface damage on soft ground and lawns.

Tracked machines generally have lower ground pressure than wheeled machines of similar weight.

Rated load is the maximum load the manufacturer lists for the loader to carry in normal operation. It is lower than the load at which the machine would tip.

For example, the RS20’s listed rated load is 1,050 kg. Always work within the rating on the machine’s plate and in its manual.

A tilt bucket can be angled left and right hydraulically, so you can shape batters, drains and levels without moving the machine. Single-cylinder and double-cylinder versions are available.

Tilt buckets are listed for each model, for example in the R10/R13/R15 range.

A mud bucket is a wide bucket without teeth, used for cleaning drains, grading, and moving loose material. Its smooth edge leaves a cleaner finish than a toothed digging bucket.

Mud buckets are listed for the R06, R10/R13/R15, R18, R22 and R32 in excavator attachments.

A ripper is a single curved tooth that fits in place of the bucket. It concentrates the machine’s force on one point to break hard ground, roots and soft rock before you dig.

Rippers are listed for every Rippa mini excavator from the R06 to the R32.
