Rhino Excavator Hammers started life in 2008, securing the well-known D and A Hydraulic Hammer agency. There is clearly a synergy with our core business, Excavator hire.
South Africa, having an extensive, well developed mining industry, became a major target market for a wide range of attachment products that would be viable for both hire and resale.
The next step was to develop the limited existing market using the latest ripper technology. Xcentric Ripper, based in Spain introduced Rippers to South Africa with a view to develop the market in the mining industry with their patented equipment.
Excavator attachments have become more common place in the mining industry due to their suitability in environmentally sensitive areas. A prime example is they, in some instances, negate the use of explosives in mining. Rippers and hammers are often a safer and more economically viable option.
Quick Couplers and Rock Wheels are examples of new technology in an increasingly diverse attachment industry. Our sales and support staff can both educate the end user in improving material recovery methods and in tandem, protecting the environment.
D and A have the most efficient and durable product in the market place. They benefit in turn, from our extensive knowledge of the operating conditions encountered in the plant hire market in South Africa.
Conveniently priced and available in an extensive range of sizes, Rhino are able to service operators with attachments for a diverse selection of plant. Rhino stock the more common sized attachments with spare parts at their warehouse in Gauteng. This makes for smooth distribution to most parts of southern Africa.
Rhino’s experienced mechanics and operators can extend the normal working life of equipment through experience and expertise. A large portion of fast moving spare parts are now locally manufactured. This reduces costs and turnaround time.
Rhino Excavator Hammers offer demonstrations of our patented and mining compliant equipment. Specifications are available on our website and we are a phone call away for expert assistance.
Xcentric ripper has had a profile in South Africa for 5 years. They supply a niche attachment product particularly suited to earth moving in the mining industry.
Xcentric ripper has developed an unproven market in a very short space of time. Developed through hammer technology it both breaks and pulls material horizontally from the ground using a patented “double pivot” process.
Dependent on conditions, the ripper is able to free ground material, often more efficiently than explosives. There are many other uses in the open cast mining and civil engineering sector. Looking at our videos or attending a demonstration will make many facets of utilization become more apparent.
