Diggers are an iconic type of plant machinery, known for their versatility. To make diggers as beneficial as can be, many businesses and individuals choose to hire digger attachments. Read on to discover four key types that are available with our digger hires at P R Weldhen.
Buckets
Arguably the most common type of attachment for diggers is the bucket. Buckets are available in various shapes and sizes, each designed for a specific purpose. The digging bucket, for example, is specifically designed for general digging, with small prongs meant for breaking surfaces like soil. The riddle bucket, on the other hand, is a type of bucket with open slots at the back, which is great for separating materials, such as stones and rocks.
Other types of digger buckets can include:
● Grading buckets
● Tilt ditching buckets
● Trenching buckets
Grabs
Spider-like in design, digger grabs have several prongs that can fully secure an item as it is picked up. These attachments are particularly useful for clearing and lifting debris, including large rocks and branches. They’re particularly great for the items that a bucket would struggle to lift, such as large rocks or heavy branches.
Tree Shears
In many scenarios, it’s necessary to remove trees from a site. Luckily, there is a digger attachment that can help. Tree shears are perfect for removing trees and shrubs, without the need for a completely different machine. Typically, the attachment itself will be equipped with blades and hydraulic cylinders, which work together to chop a tree, however, there are many variations available to choose from.
Forks
Digger forks are another incredibly useful attachment that can be used for various versatile purposes. Specifically, digger forks can be used to move pallets and sort materials. These attachments have applications in various environments, from farms to construction sites. Fork attachments can be incredibly beneficial, as they offer greater versatility and help to increase the level of efficiency on a worksite.
