Whether you are clearing land, breaking concrete, or compacting soil, the right attachment transforms your excavator into a powerful, multi-purpose tool ready for any challenge. Depending on your project or application, you could benefit from excavator attachments such as:

    
• Buckets: Handle everything from digging and grading to cleanup and debris removal with your excavator. Caterpillar® offers general duty, heavy duty, extreme duty, and severe duty buckets, as well as specialized designs for ditch cleaning, rock, and finishing work. Reinforced edges and wear-resistant materials ensure long-lasting performance in tough conditions.

    

• Couplers (HEX): Cat® couplers for excavators enable fast, secure attachment changes, without the need to leave the cab. From Pin Grabbers to hydraulic quick connect options, couplers help reduce downtime, boost jobsite efficiency and promote versatility by allowing multiple machines to share a common attachment inventory.

    

• Hammers: Break concrete, rock, and steel with up to 1,000 blows per minute. Built for high-production demolition, quarrying, and construction, they offer powerful impact energy and consistent performance. Their durability and low-maintenance design make them essential for demanding breaking applications.

    

• Multi-Processors: A versatile tool for demolition, equipped with interchangeable jaws to handle concrete, steel, and rebar. Multi-Processors combine cutting, crushing and pulverizing capabilities in one attachment. Their modular design maximizes efficiency across a range of job site demands.

    

• Demolition and Sorting Grapples: Tackle larger debris or precisely sort materials into piles. These grapples are engineered for accuracy in demolition and material sorting, handling concrete, rebar, wood, and mixed debris.
