8 Excavator Hire Attachments for an Efficient Project
Excavator hire can be made even more productive when you hire the right attachments for the task. Our hammers, buckets, grabs and shears make light work of tough tasks, with Sitex offering a comprehensive selection of excavator attachments to meet all your onsite needs.
Our Top 8 Excavator Attachments:
1. Hydraulic Breakers/Hammers
Hydraulic hammers or rockbreakers are an indispensable tool for construction and demolition operations. Able to smash through hard rock with ease, a hydraulic rock breaker attachment breaks apart concrete and other tough materials, making light work of challenging projects.
2. Rotating and Fixed Grabs
Hydraulic grabs are an extension of your excavator’s arm, picking up everything from rocks to logs, scrap, broken material and more. Wide jaws shift bulky items easily, and these grabs are right at home on excavation, building and demolition sites.
3. Grab Buckets
Multipurpose grab buckets are a versatile alternative to hydraulic grapples, making light work of demolition, rock placing and tree work. Sitex excavators for hire can be fitted with a grab bucket when you need superior control and manoeuvrability on site for lifting steel beams, placing landscaping components and more.
4. Block Grabs
The strong, secure jaws of a block grab help you pick up and place heavy, solid items such as concrete barriers and sandstone blocks. Ideal for handling steps, kerbs and prefabricated concrete, these grabs extend the use of your excavator hire and enable better productivity when lifting and shifting heavy items.
5. Timber and Steel Shears
Hiring timber shears or steel shears will help you cut through tough surfaces with ease. The strong hydraulic slicing action of these blades makes demolition and recycling faster and easier.
6. Concrete Pulveriser
A pulveriser attachment allows you to crush concrete slabs to remove the reinforcing bar and mesh, so concrete can be recycled. This makes it an essential part of the material recyclers’ and demolition contractors’ toolkit. Pulverisers combine a fixed and a moving jaw, disintegrating concrete and loosening the reo which can then be sorted and collected on-site.
7. Compaction Wheel
Soil compaction is an important part of the construction process, and hiring a compaction wheel will boost your productivity on site. Well-compacted soil is crucial for building foundations, roadways and trenches, and the compaction wheel’s compact size and shape make it easy to use in challenging environments.
8. Auger Drives and Bits
Drilling holes for posts, signs, piles, footings or foundations is a common requirement for many jobs. This is where a powerful auger drive can save you time and effort, drilling through tough soil, clay, rock, and other materials with ease.
