Attachments Buyers Guide July 2014 | Construction Equipment Distribution | www.cedmag.com | 41 The Xcentric Ripper by ShearForce Equipment – an Innovation in Excavation www.shearforce.ca Contact: Brad Dewit, brad@shearforce.ca, 800-255-5211 The Xcentric Ripper hydraulic ripper outperforms traditional hydraulic hammers and static rippers in nearly every type of material, particularly in rock with natural fracturing and layers. Using patented technology, the attachment works with the natural rigidity of the rock, and vibrations shake the material to deepen cracks for easier breakup. In certain conditions, the Xcentric Ripper is two to five times more productive than using a hydraulic hammer, and is ten times more productive than a hammer in frozen ground.
