Different Types Of Excavator Attachments

By Linda White


Tools can make or break a job. Smaller jobs obviously use smaller types of tools. These same tools, such as jackhammers, also come as excavator attachments and can make bigger jobs a cinch. The machines typically require special training and licensing to operate. Having just one type of attachment doesn't do the justice needed to maximize the operator's skills. With other types available, you can choose the right tool for the job and eliminate a large number of hours and overtime pay by getting done on time.

Augers are able to dig holes quickly. There are several types, but most often are found being used by a utility company. They use them to dig holes to put electric poles up for power. They can also be used by landscapers that are in the process of planting trees and shrubbery. This will save a lot of time digging the holes and maximize the efforts.

Buckets come with and without thumbs. When you're digging a deep hole, these are great. If there happen to be large rocks and boulders that cannot be easily moved, the thumb provides a way to pick the rock up and deposit it out of the way. By using the thumb, you avoid having to blast the rock, which requires a professional licensed blaster.

Compactors get things ready for a foundation. If the soil needs to be compacted and you are unable to get a road roller in position, you can add the attachment to the excavator and get it in position. They can also be used when a roller isn't available and you're in the process of building a road.

Grapples are best for moving material. In some cases, you may have crates that need to be moved. The same style that is used in ports to empty ships can be used in smaller jobs in a warehouse. For scrap metal yards the grapple with teeth is used to pick up huge amounts of scrap and sort it quickly.

Jackhammers are used for breaking tough materials. They are commonly found in breaking up sidewalks and other concrete foundations. However, attached to an excavator gives the operator the ability to break through walls and work on larger jobs that would take an extremely long time with a human operator. It also removes the person from a dangerous situation.

Using a ripper will break up soil fast and easily. In the tundra or places where the winter freeze is very harsh, getting through the ground can be difficult. Opening new ground for farming can be just as difficult. Using the ripper will break through the frozen or compacted soil and make large chunks. These can then be removed or ground into smaller pieces depending on the end result desired.

It is important to have the right tool for the job. While using smaller hand tools is great for the small jobs, if time is of the essence, getting the attachments for the big equipment will make the job easier and go faster. This saves both time and money.
