Grapple Saws
Grapple saws combine a gripping grapple with a powered saw so one attachment can hold, cut and reposition stems or logs. They are used in tree care, roadside work and forestry where controlled handling matters as much as the cut itself.
Explore guide →High-Tip Buckets
High-tip buckets add a secondary hydraulic tipping frame so material can be discharged higher or farther forward than with the carrier bucket linkage alone. They are used to load high-sided trucks, hoppers and containers with light or moderate-density bulk material.
Explore guide →Hydraulic Breakers
Compare hydraulic breakers, their applications, mounting requirements and carrier compatibility.
Explore guide →Hydraulic Magnets
Hydraulic magnets lift ferrous material such as steel scrap, reinforcement and demolition debris. Many excavator-mounted systems generate electrical power from hydraulic flow, while other installations use an external power...
Explore guide →Hydraulic Plate Compactors
Hydraulic plate compactors use a vibrating base plate to compact suitable fill through an excavator-mounted attachment. They are useful where the boom can position a plate into a trench or other restricted working area. The chosen model must suit the carrier and the project’s required compaction method.
Explore guide →Hydraulic Rock Drills
Excavator-mounted hydraulic rock drills turn an excavator into a mobile drilling platform for blast holes, anchors, splitting holes and other hard-rock work. Most production systems combine a hydraulic drifter or rotary-percussive head with a feed mast.
Explore guide →Hydraulic Rotators
Compare hydraulic rotator types, load ratings, torque, oil flow, hydraulic passages, mounting and maintenance for grapples and handling attachments.
Explore guide →Hydraulic Thumbs
Hydraulic thumbs turn an excavator bucket into a controlled gripping tool for rocks, brush, logs, pipe and demolition debris. Correct matching depends on bucket geometry, pivot location, carrier hydraulics and the loads created through the stick and coupler.
Explore guide →Land Levelers
Land levelers, often called land planes, are simple grading attachments that shave high spots and redistribute loose material into low areas. They are widely used on gravel drives, yards, arenas and prepared sites where a smooth surface is needed without powered moving parts.
Explore guide →Log Grapples
Log grapples grip stems, logs and timber bundles for loading, sorting and forwarding. Curved jaws are designed to retain round material while allowing the grapple to close around both single stems and larger bundles.
Explore guide →Multi-Processors
Multi-processors use a common powered body with interchangeable jaw sets for different demolition tasks. Depending on the system, one carrier can switch between crushing concrete, pulverizing material and cutting steel.
Explore guide →Orange-Peel Grapples
Orange-peel grapples close several tines or shells around irregular bulk material. Their geometry suits scrap and waste handling, while shell coverage changes how well the tool captures and retains smaller pieces.
Explore guide →Pallet Forks
Pallet forks support unit loads from underneath. The practical handling limit depends on the fork frame, tines, pickup, load centre and carrier configuration as a complete system.
Explore guide →Pile Breakers
Pile breakers remove excess concrete from cast piles to expose reinforcement and achieve the specified cut-off level. They replace or reduce manual breaking where the pile geometry and site setup suit a mechanised system.
Explore guide →Pile Hammers
Hydraulic impact pile hammers drive piles by repeatedly applying controlled impact energy through a drive cap or anvil. Excavator-mounted systems can be useful on confined sites and smaller piling work where mobility matters, while larger hammers may use crane or dedicated leader systems.
Explore guide →Post Drivers
Post driver attachments install fence, vineyard, orchard and similar posts by impact or vibration while the carrier positions and supports the tool. They can reduce manual handling on repetitive fencing work, but post guidance and carrier setup are critical.
Explore guide →Quick Couplers
Quick couplers let an operator change compatible attachments without removing mounting pins manually. The coupler becomes part of the working geometry, so locking method, pin dimensions, hydraulic controls and the combined...
Explore guide →Rippers
Rippers concentrate the carrier breakout force through one or more strong points to loosen hard ground, roots, frost, asphalt or fractured rock before excavation.
Explore guide →Rock Buckets
Rock buckets are reinforced for abrasive stone, blasted rock and severe digging or loading conditions. Compared with general-purpose buckets, they typically use heavier structures, stronger cutting systems and additional wear...
Explore guide →Rock Wheels
Rock wheels use a hydraulically driven cutting wheel with picks or teeth to create controlled cuts in rock, concrete, asphalt and frozen ground. They are often used for trenching, profiling and precise excavation.
Explore guide →Root Rakes
Root rakes use spaced heavy tines to pull roots, brush and rocks from soil while allowing finer material to fall through. They are used for land clearing, cleanup and rough grading before more precise finishing tools are brought in.
Explore guide →Rotary Tillers
Rotary tiller attachments use powered tines to break, loosen and mix the upper soil layer for landscaping, seedbed preparation and site finishing. Hydraulic versions are common on skid steers and compact track loaders, while PTO-driven tillers are common on tractors.
Explore guide →Salt & Sand Spreaders
Salt and sand spreaders distribute de-icing or traction material over roads, yards and paths. Accurate rate control matters because excessive material increases cost and environmental load while insufficient coverage reduces...

Compare screening buckets, their applications, mounting requirements and carrier compatibility.
