Xcentric Ripper Now Available Worldwide

Grado Cero Group has manufacturing plants for the production of heavy-duty excavator buckets and patented Go Max quick couplers. At the same time one of their divisions are performing large rock excavation and trenching projects in the North of Spain.

Thanks to this unique combination, they were able to invent and develop a completely new attachment to execute these difficult projects much faster and at a much lower cost. In the beginning of 2009 the first prototypes started to work for severe practical tests in all kind of different rock conditions. Nonstop and intense working from that moment on, in all types of rock, has resulted in a 100% reliable, efficient and maintenance-free attachment: the Xcentric® Ripper. Now also available worldwide for the benefit of all companies working in rock excavation and demolition!

Economical and financial demands in the market are always pushing for increased performance and production output in rock excavation and demolition. At the same time clients are asking for lower maintenance costs, less down time and better warranty conditions.

Just recently Grado Cero has developed a revolutionary attachment: the Xcentric® Ripper to do excavation and demolition of asphalt or concrete roads and floors in less time, for lower cost and with a minimum of noise. The Xcentric® Ripper is developed with a patented impact vibration accumulation technology, which makes it in 85% of the job applications more productive than any Hydraulic Breaker available on the market. In even 70% of the job applications a 2 to 5 times higher production can be achieved.

The Xcentric® Ripper´s closed energy chamber cannot be influenced or damaged from the outside by dust, water, dirt or whatsoever. This means that it can work without any problem in the most severe conditions in tunnels, foundations, muddy and wet places. Even all kinds of work under water in for example harbors, canals and open sea can be done without making any special expensive and complicated preparations. This is where and why the Xcentric® Ripper saves so drastically the high expensive maintenance and repair cost, that normally appear in such working circumstances. Full product line of 8 models is available for excavators from 10 t up to 100 t.

The Xcentric® Ripper is a patented excavator attachment in state–of–the–art technology, manufactured with the highest quality materials and components.
