Powerful Yanmar Engine and High-Efficiency Performance

The RIPPA RS20 skid steer loader is engineered to tackle high-intensity and high-load working environments with ease, making it an ideal choice for large-scale construction sites, mining operations, and heavy equipment handling. At its heart lies the Yanmar 4TNV98C-PLYS engine, a powerhouse that delivers a maximum of 66.7 horsepower and 49.9 KW of power. This high-performance engine is specifically designed to provide a robust boost for the toughest jobs while maintaining an ultra-low noise profile that is friendly to both operators and the surrounding environment.

Beyond raw power, the RS20 is built for operational efficiency and sustainability. The engine design focuses on lower fuel consumption and reduced vibration without compromising on torque, which significantly improves overall processing performance. To ensure the machine remains stable under these high-power demands, RIPPA has enlarged the wheelbase, providing enhanced safety and balance during heavy-duty lifting and transport.

To maximize productivity, the RS20 features a double-speed motor capable of reaching travel speeds of up to 10 km/h (6.2 mph). This capability allows the machine to respond rapidly to emergency conditions, such as the need for fast snow removal, or simply to move across large job sites more effectively. Combined with a large-capacity bucket that can shovel up to 2100 kg of cargo, the RS20 ensures every cycle is as productive as possible.

Advanced Hydraulic System and Versatile Attachments

The RS20 is equipped with a sophisticated four-pump hydraulic system that ensures smooth, stable, and highly responsive operation. This system includes two tandem closed-loop pumps, an internal charge pump, and a gear pump, achieving impressive flow rates of 108+108+35.7+108 L/min. A key component of this architecture is the load-sensing multi-way valve, which provides precise flow control and efficient power transmission by automatically adapting to varying load conditions.

Versatility is a hallmark of the RS20, thanks to its industry-standard quick coupler that is compatible with dozens of mainstream attachments. Operators can switch between tools like augers, hydraulic breakers, pallet forks, and rock buckets in as little as 30 seconds. The inclusion of two main auxiliary hydraulic lines and one unloading line allows for the quick connection of specialized high-power attachments, further enhancing the machine's flexibility for diverse tasks such as ditch compacting or pile driving.

Durability is built into every hydraulic component. The hydraulic oil cylinders feature a strengthened, integrated design that reduces welding seams, preventing the breakage that often occurs in high-stress applications. For maintenance-heavy tasks, the hydrostatic drive device allows for rapid attachment changes directly at the operation site, ensuring that the RS20 spends more time working and less time in the shop.

Ergonomic Design and Maintenance Convenience

Operator comfort is prioritized through an ergonomic cab design that introduces the concept of specialized "functional areas". The cab is spacious and features luxurious adjustable seats equipped with shock absorption and seat belts to reduce operator fatigue during long shifts. To maintain a productive atmosphere, the cab includes a radio player and a high-performance air conditioning system that provides cooling in the summer and heating in the winter, allowing for year-round operation in any climate.

The control interface is designed for intuitive use, featuring ergonomically controlled electronic joysticks and a centralized switch layout. A multi-function LCD display provides the operator with real-time data on critical parameters, including fuel volume, engine temperature, speed, and power status. For added convenience, commonly used controls like the horn and accessory switches are integrated directly onto the joysticks, allowing the driver to maintain focus on the task at hand.

Maintenance for the RS20 is designed to be as simple and time-efficient as possible. All primary maintenance points are concentrated at the rear of the machine, and the back cover opens easily to provide one-stop access to components and pipelines without the need to lift the cab. For more extensive repairs, the cab can be tilted backward at a large angle, making internal portions of the machine highly accessible. This thoughtful layout, combined with a double-row exhaust fan for rapid heat dissipation, ensures the RS20 remains reliable and easy to service throughout its lifespan.
