BETTER INPUTS. BETTER ATTACHMENT DECISIONS.

How to Choose an Excavator Attachment

A practical method for narrowing attachment type, geometry, wear system and hydraulic requirements.

Measure both pin diameters, pin centers and dipper width before an attachment or quick coupler is engineered for a carrier.

What to verify before selecting a shear, pulverizer, auger, compactor or rotating attachment.

Choose bucket profile, width and protection around material, penetration and production targets.

Choose a topsoil screening bucket around carrier hydraulics, moisture, contamination, target fraction and required daily output.

Check carrier hydraulics, concrete feed, reinforcement and target output before selecting an excavator crusher bucket.

Compare manual, hydraulic and fully connected excavator coupler concepts, then verify machine and attachment pickup geometry.
