Being launched at INTERMAT 2012, the XR 80 is one of eight excavation and demolition attachments in the XR range. All are developed with Xcentric Ripper’s patented impact vibration accumulation technology.
The company says the energy chamber on all its XR attachments’ cannot be affected or damaged by site dust, water or dirt. This means, they claim, that they can work without problem in even the most severe conditions in tunnels and foundations, as well as muddy and wet places. Under water work in harbours, canals and open sea is also suitable for XR equipment. Xcentric Ripper says the durability of its XR range can dramatically reduce client maintenance and repair costs normally associated with construction projects in tough working environments.
The XR 80, for excavators weighing 75 to 120 tonnes, has an operating weight of 9,500kg and operating pressure of 240bar. The unit has recently been sold to a Belgian Dredging company for underwater work on a pontoon near Australia.
