Excavator Attachments
Excavators are suitable for a wide range of job sites, in part because they have so many diverse attachments. From buckets to couplers, there is a wide variety of excavator attachments and mini excavator attachments you can choose from. In most instances, excavators are seen spreading material, moving material, even grading job sites. However, if you’re profession requires multiple attachments for a long-term construction project, an excavator is fully capable of getting the job done.
If you want to see which excavator attachments are must-have’s for your line of work, we’re going to take a close look at all the different types of excavator attachments you can benefit from.
If you’re on a job site that requires a lot of work, augers are a great addition to your equipment collection. Augers are designed to drill holes, so you can plant large quantities of trees, or install posts and poles with ease.
If you are working on a job site with overgrowth, the first step is eliminating the vegetation. Not only can it be a safety hazard, but it also obstructs most of your job sites. A brush cutter is designed to cut down excessive growth, so your pathways are cleared to continue working. With a multi-blade system and hydraulic flow rates, brush cutters are heavy-duty pieces of equipment that can expedite your workload in no time.
A bucket is an incredibly diverse attachment that can do multiple things on a job. From digging, clearing, and grading, you can achieve so much more with an excavator bucket by your side. It’s going to come in handy throughout every phase of your job, so you can work and clean as you go.
A clamp is a perfect addition to jobs that require tree removal and clearing dense areas. Clamps can grab large objects, such as stumps, rocks, concrete, and other heavy obstacles. Once you’ve cleared an area, a clamp helps speed up the cleanup process.
An excavator coupler isn’t exactly a tool, but it’s critical to optimize your workload. A coupler is designed to let you switch in between excavator attachments with ease, so you can rotate between a bucket or rake during a job. These are especially useful when you are working on personal land and don’t have other team members there to assist you.
A disc mulcher is another excavator attachment that consistently goes the distance. It’s great for managing unruly land, preventing forest fires, cleaning up undeveloped areas, and annual land maintenance. It can be used at the beginning and end of a job site, which makes it a great asset for various projects.
Similar to a clamp, a grapple is designed to move large obstacles that are in the midst of your pathway. If objects are particularly long or complex, a grapple will be able to handle these objects with relative ease.
As its name suggests, a tree cutter is designed to remove trees of all shapes and sizes. Tree cutters are capable of removing stumps, cleaning edges, removing limbs, and managing densely wooded areas. Personal property is easier to manage, and you won’t spend the same amount of time managing dense areas with this attachment by your side.
Rakes are great for clearing and managing job sites. You can keep things cleared, structured, and on track with a rake. Brush, debris, and other obstacles are very easy to manage with a rake on the job.
