Xcentric
Rippers &
Crushers
Rip the rock. Crush it on site. Put it back to work. Xcentric impact rippers break rock faster and quieter than a hammer, and Xcentric crusher buckets turn it into usable material right where you dug it. Our own excavating division runs them and recommends them.
— THE PROBLEM
Hammering All Day, Then Hauling It Away
Breaking ledge with a hammer is slow, loud, and hard on equipment. Once the rock is out, it gets loaded onto trucks and hauled off, and crushed stone gets bought and trucked back in. You pay for the slow breaking, the maintenance, the trucks, and the stone.
— THE SOLUTION
Rip It, Then Crush It
Xcentric rippers use a patented impact technology that accumulates energy and works by vibration instead of repeated blows, so they break rock faster than a hammer. Xcentric crusher buckets then process that rock on site with a high-inertia power train and circular jaw movement.
— THE RESULT
From Ledge to Usable Stone
More production:
Rippers outwork hammers
Quieter sites:
Less noise than a hammer
Less upkeep:
simple, wear-resistant design
Rock becomes product:
crush it for reuse or sale

XCENTRIC FAQS
Series O or Mining Series ripper?
Series O covers general excavation, demolition, and recycling. The Mining Series is reinforced for greater impact at a lower frequency, for quarries, tunneling, and mining.
Can a ripper work underwater?
Yes. Xcentric rippers can be used underwater, which makes them a fit for dredging and marine rock work.
What output size do the crushers produce?
Output adjusts in under 2 minutes, from roughly 3/4″ to 8″ (20–210 mm) depending on the model.
Is financing available?
Yes. A&D works with Western Equipment Finance and Reliant Capital Group, and attachments may qualify for the Section 179 deduction.
Field-Tested by A&D Equipment
Xcentric Ripper attachments use an eccentric impact system to break rock faster and quieter than a traditional hammer. Ideal for excavation, trenching, and demolition, they boost production while reducing wear on the carrier and noise on the jobsite.
