Turn One Excavator Into a Multi-Tool

A crawler excavator becomes far more useful when you swap attachments. Our range supports 20+ working devices through a standard quick-change connector — so one machine digs, breaks, drills, grabs, rips and screens. Below are the attachments buyers ask about most.

The Core Attachment Lineup

  • General-purpose bucket: everyday digging and loading of loose soil.
  • Plain bucket (500mm) / Tilting bucket (1000mm): precision trenching and angle grading.
  • Hydraulic breaker: concrete breaking, rock and hard ground demolition.
  • Auger: drilling planting holes, piles and fence posts.
  • Wood grapple / Tree shears: handling logs, trunks and vegetation clearing.
  • Ripper: loosening hard, compacted or frozen ground before digging.
  • Rotating screening bucket: separating fines from rubble on site.
  • Thumb (hydraulic clamp): grabbing pipes, rocks and irregular loads.

How to Choose

Match the attachment to the recurring job, not the occasional one. If 70% of your work is trenching, start with a tilting bucket; if demolition dominates, prioritize a hydraulic breaker. A quick hitch lets one operator change tools in minutes and raises machine utilization.

Compatibility & Sourcing

Attachments are sized by carrier tonnage (mini 1.5–3.5 t, mid 5–10 t, large 20 t+). Tell us your excavator model and the job mix — we supply matched, genuine attachments and stock wear parts in Jakarta.

Frequently Asked Questions

What attachments can I fit to an excavator?

20+ via a quick-change connector: general/tilting/plain buckets, hydraulic breaker, auger, wood grapple, tree shears, ripper, rotating screening bucket, and thumb.

What does a hydraulic breaker do?

A hydraulic breaker demolishes concrete, rock and hard ground — turning one excavator into a demolition tool without a separate machine.

When should I use an auger?

An auger drills planting holes, fence posts and pile holes quickly — ideal for plantations, agriculture and fencing work.

What is a tilting bucket for?

A tilting bucket (about 1000mm) angles for precise trenching and slope grading, reducing cleanup passes on finishing work.

How does a quick hitch help?

A quick hitch lets one operator swap attachments in minutes instead of wrestling them by hand — one person does the change, so the machine spends more time working and less time idle. It is the single upgrade that raises utilization across every other tool.

How do I size an attachment to my excavator?

Size by carrier tonnage, not by brand. Mini carriers 1.5–3.5 t suit compact buckets and small augers; mid 5–10 t take standard breakers and grapples; large 20 t+ handle heavy rippers and screening buckets. Tell us your model and we match the attachment.

What wear parts should I keep on hand?

Keep spare pins, bushes, bucket teeth and hoses for your most-used attachments. A worn tooth or leaking hose stops the job as surely as a broken machine. We stock matched wear parts in Jakarta for fast replacement.

Genuine or aftermarket attachment?

We supply matched genuine attachments sized to your carrier, so fit, hydraulics and warranty line up. Aftermarket parts may save upfront but risk poor fit and faster wear. Tell us your model before you buy.
