Grapples
Grapples are commonly used excavator attachments for handling logs, brush, demolition debris and other loose materials. They feature sturdy jaws or teeth that can grasp objects securely. Grapples are very useful for loading and unloading dump trucks, clearing debris from job sites and handling landscaping materials. Different size grapples are available to match the excavator size and the type and size of materials being handled.
Buckets
Buckets are universal Excavator Attachments that come in various types and sizes for different applications. Standard digging buckets have hardened cutting edges and teeth for digging in soil, rock and other hard materials. They are suitable for tasks like grading, trenching, loading trucks and handling backfill material. Specialized buckets include demolition buckets for breaking up concrete and asphalt, trenching buckets for digging trenches and ditching buckets for creating drainage ditches. Hydraulic quick couplers allow fast and easy attachment changes between buckets and other tools.
Augers
Auger attachments feature a hollow shaft with outward-projecting spiral blades and are used for drilling postholes, piers and utility line trenches in soil and other soft ground conditions. Augers are available in diameters ranging from 6 inches to over 24 inches. Self-contained augers have their own motors and hydraulic systems while others use the excavator's hydraulic power. Augers allow excavators to efficiently drill multiple holes of consistent depth and size.
Brush Cutters
Brush cutters, also called mulchers or flail mowers, are useful attachments for clearing vegetation from areas with heavy brush and small trees. They feature a rotatinghorizontal drum with several rows of hardened steel cutting bars or teeth that pulverize brush and branches into small wood chips. Brush cutters efficiently clear large areas and transform debris into mulch. Some models can process material up to 3 inches in diameter.
