XCAV is part of EXW's Maker Labs, a company driven to provide parts, tools and equipment for doers. We cater for the DIY, the self-learners, the curious minds that want to build things.
XCAV is our attempt to bring practical and affordable machines to individuals. An important part of this is giving users the technical information and support they need to make their most out of their investment. We work very hard to make this work for all of us. We make our own inspections, documentation and we dive deep into the mechanical and technical aspects that you need to keep these machines running for as long as you can…
We know that mini excavators are an incredible tool to help you get things done yet the investments and operating costs of big brands make them inaccessible to many. We tried a Chinese affordable mini excavator and we were extremely impressed and decided that we want to help others have their own mini excavator.
We did a lot of research and finally settled on our partners to make this dream a reality. Our machines are proudly made by our partner manufacturer RIPPA (Shandong Rippa Machinery Group Co., Ltd).
The market for these mini excavators is extremely harsh with many manufacturers pushing machines and all sorts of clones into the market. But the reality is that many manufactures keep pushing their costs down with cheaper components, thin steel and questionable quality. The worst is when you buy something and receive no support at all, the machine is a black-box of mysteries that now you have to deal with. We had a price point in our heads but did not want anybody to experience the multitude of troubles of these machines.
RIPPA on the other hand was able to show us how they went beyond while staying with a competitive price point by doing better automation, manufacturing more of their own parts, making volume deals with parts manufacturers, even with Kubota. We saw a lot of things we liked, a higher quality product, better design, better components, single piece hydraulic cylinders, thicker steel, automated welding, brand hydraulic hoses, hose protectors, and little things like labels identifying hoses and cables.
RIPPA has shown us a lot of support and a great service team that allows us to improve your experience with an affordable mini excavator.
We are located in the beautiful beach town of Aguadilla Puerto Rico a territory of the United States of America.
