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 much more efficient. In the beginning of 2009 the first prototypes started to work for the first practical tests in all kind of different rock conditions. Non stop 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.
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. In 2009 Grado Cero has developed a revolutionary attachment: the Xcentric® Ripper to do excavation and demolition in less time, for lower cost and with a minimum of noise.
The Xcentric® Ripper is developed with a patented “Impact Engergie Accumulation Technology”, which makes it in 80% 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 what so ever. 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 underwater in for example harbours, 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.
