Hydraulic Attachments Hire
Frequently Asked Questions
What hydraulic attachments can I hire?
We have auger drives sized for 1.5 to 20 tonne excavators and 13 to 35 tonne pipe lifters listed, and through our network we can typically source other attachments such as breakers, grabs and quick hitches, subject to availability. Tell us the make, weight and hitch of your excavator and we’ll match attachments that bolt straight on.
How do I match a hydraulic attachment to my excavator?
Three things decide it. Your machine’s operating weight, its auxiliary hydraulic flow and the hitch size on the dipper. Give us those, ideally the make and model, and we’ll spec an attachment that fits the pins and runs on your hydraulics. If you’re not sure of the flow, we can typically work it out from the model.
What excavator size does the auger range fit?
We have auger drives matched to excavators from 1.5 up to 20 tonnes, so there’s a unit for everything from a mini digger on fencing to a larger machine on heavier boring. The drive and flight are sized to the carrier, so tell us your tonnage and the hole you need and we’ll point you to the right one.
What is a pipe lifter and what size machine does it suit?
A pipe lifter is an excavator attachment that grips and lays drainage and service pipe safely without slings, and our units suit 13 to 35 tonne carriers for utilities and civils work. Tell us the pipe diameter and your machine weight and we’ll confirm the right unit.
What size hole can an auger drill?
Auger flights typically run from around 150mm up to 600mm diameter for fencing, posts, tree planting and signage, driven by a hydraulic drive unit on your excavator. Tell us the hole size, depth and ground type and we’ll match the drive and flight to your machine.
Do attachments come with hoses and couplers?
Yes. Hydraulic attachments are supplied ready to plumb in, with the hoses and quick-release couplers to connect to your auxiliary lines. If you let us know the coupler type already on your machine, we’ll make sure it pairs up before it arrives.
What is a quick hitch and do I need one?
A quick hitch lets you swap buckets and attachments in minutes without manually knocking out pins, which saves a lot of time across a job. We can typically source mechanical and hydraulic quick hitches to suit your carrier, subject to availability. Just confirm the machine weight and pin centres and we’ll match one.
How quickly can you deliver a hydraulic attachment?
It depends on your location and current availability. We coordinate delivery and collection through our supplier network, and can often help with urgent or time-critical jobs, subject to availability. Send us your site postcode and we’ll confirm a realistic delivery time.
