A Bucket

A bucket allows the excavator to easily move loose material around. It can also be used to create large holes and level the ground. Buckets are often spotted on construction sites handling tasks such as setting foundations.

A Grapple Bucket

Also known as a grappler, this excavator attachment has two sets of long lines. These can close and open like a mechanical hand. The unique design of a grapple bucket lends itself well to transporting materials that are otherwise difficult to pickup, such as logs. This excavator add-on is commonly used at junkyards, scrap yards, and demolition sites.

A Dozer Blade

Turn your excavator into a bulldozer with this handy aftermarket accessory. It's a great way to get the performance potential of a bulldozer, but without having a second large piece of equipment cluttering up the worksite. It's also much cheaper to purchase a dozer blade than a bulldozer! Simply connect this attachment and your excavator will be able to scrape and level ground.

A Hydraulic Hammer

With this add-on, your excavator can turn into a higher powered jackhammer. Break up hard surfaces and materials with ease. For example, quickly turn concrete and stone into rubble.

It's also helpful for breaking through frozen ground. Use your excavator to pierce through the terrain and make it easier for other equipment and attachments to do their job.

An Auger

Some projects call for a large number of holes. For example, maybe you are creating holes for fence posts or needing to plant a high number of trees. It's tedious and time consuming to dig holes by hand. That's where your excavator can come in handy.

An auger add-on allows the excavator to quickly and easily dig deep holes. Get symmetrical cylindrical holes in a fraction of the time thanks to this excavator accessory.

A Mulcher

A mulcher add-on has a spinning rotor and blades that can cut up plant debris, such as shrubs and trees. Use your excavator to clear tree debris from a road side, trim down foliage so it doesn't grow too much, and other such tasks.
