Excavator Attachments Guide: Buckets, Breakers & More

The right attachment turns one excavator into a fleet of tools. Matching attachment to job and carrier weight is what maximises productivity.

Digging buckets

General-purpose, heavy-duty and grading buckets each suit different soils. Match bucket width and capacity to the machine’s hydraulic flow and weight class.

Hydraulic breakers

For demolition and rock, size the breaker to the carrier — an oversized hammer stresses the boom, an undersized one wastes time.

Couplers, thumbs and grapples

Quick couplers speed changeovers; thumbs and grapples handle demolition and material sorting. Confirm hydraulic circuits and flow before buying.
