2014 April: First Xcentric® Ripper in the Caribbean
Last month the first Xcentric® Ripper (type XR40) has been shipped and delivered to Curaçao, Dutch Caribbean. We had the pleasure of doing business with Raul Vieira, founder of Vieira Equipment and Heavy Mix Concrete. Mr. Vieira started his company over 30 years ago, which has now become one of the biggest and leading machinery companies on the Island.
The XR40 is a perfect match for his 2009 Hitachi Zaxis 350 excavator. The first project where the Xcentric® Ripper will be put to work is the excavation of an area which consists out of more than 150.000 m3 hard volcanic rock. We would like to thank mr. Vieira for the confidence in Xcentric® Ripper, as we are sure it will assist in a highly productive future.
