Choosing Attachments for your Excavator

Your excavator has plenty of untapped potential. Unleash it with the right excavator attachments! These valuable investments can turn your equipment into a more versatile piece of machinery that's able to conquer a wider range of tasks. In some cases, it can even be a cost-effective alternative to buying a separate piece of equipment that handles the same (or similar) task of the attachment. Below we cover some of the most common excavator attachments and their uses. If you want more information on the options available or want to look at excavator attachments for sale, head over to Synergy Equipment. We are located in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.

Auger

Sometimes, you need to dig a large number of holes. Your project could be anything from creating holes for fence posts to creating holes to plant shrubs. It can be incredibly time-consuming and tiring to create these manually. An auger is an excavator attachment that allows you to easily dig deep and create the holes you need.

Mulcher

This excavator attachment relies on blades and a spinning rotor to grab and shred debris, from trees to shrubs. It can be especially helpful if you need to clear away debris on a roadside or keep intrusive foliage from spreading.

Bucket

When you need to move material around, you need this excavator attachment. Enjoy being able to dig wide holes from a stationary position. Or you can use the bucket to scrape and level the ground. Property owners can find a variety of uses for this excavator attachment as can construction workers (especially when setting foundations).

Hydraulic Hammer

This excavator attachment is impressive to watch in action! Think of it like a jackhammer that gets upgraded in power. It's able to break up difficult and hard ground to make it easier to work with. For example, use it to transform concrete and stone into more workable rubble. Or use it to break up frozen ground that is causing trouble for your other equipment.

Grapple Bucket

Sometimes, a traditional bucket isn't going to cut it. There are some types of materials that you need to transport, but are difficult to load (such as logs). This excavator attachment uses two sets of long tines. These can open and close, much like a hand or a mouth. Get the scooping power of a typical bucket, but enjoy increased ability to load the given material. You'll often find grapple buckets at junk or scrap yards or demolition sites. They can easily pick up misshapen and odd-sized material and transport them to where they need to go.

Dozer Blade

This excavator attachment is ideal for scraping and leveling ground. Granted, it won't give you the full power and size of a traditional dozer. But it can offer an impressive amount of power (at a much lower cost). Tackle smaller and easier projects using the dozer blade. You'll still be able to get plenty of use out of this excavator attachment, allowing you to get your project site whipped into shape.
