Specialist Hydraulic Attachments for Excavators
Hydraulic attachments can make an excavator far more versatile. By choosing the right attachment, contractors can carry out breaking, drilling, crushing, cutting, compacting, sorting, lifting support and material handling tasks using their own machines.
The correct attachment depends on several practical factors, including:
- Excavator size and compatibility
- Site access and working conditions
- Material type
- Task requirements
- Required attachment movement or rotation
- Hydraulic setup and fitting requirements
Attachment Hire Ltd helps customers make informed choices by offering practical guidance before hire. Our technicians can also visit site to fit attachments and help ensure equipment operates to its maximum potential.
Augers are hydraulic drilling attachments used for fast and efficient hole digging in soil, clay and rocky ground conditions. Attachment Hire Ltd supplies Digga excavator-mounted augers for 1 to 40 tonne excavators, with auger flights available from 100mm to 1200mm and extensions available where extra drilling depth is required.
Excavator augers are commonly used for fencing, foundation work, tree planting and utility installations. Our team can advise on the right auger setup based on your excavator, the required hole size, ground conditions and the task in hand.
Selector grabs are hydraulic material-handling attachments used for sorting, loading, gripping and moving materials with control. Attachment Hire Ltd supplies Zijtveld rotating selector grabs for 1.5 to 50 tonne excavators.
These grabs feature powerful hydraulic jaws designed to grip irregular loads securely. They are commonly used in demolition, recycling, waste management, forestry and construction applications. The rotating function gives operators greater control when positioning materials, helping improve productivity and reduce manual handling on site.

Powered by the excavator’s hydraulic system, these magnets do not require an external power source. They are suitable for handling scrap steel, rebar and metal debris on demolition and recycling sites, helping improve efficiency, site safety and material recovery.
Digging grabs are practical excavator attachments used for gripping, handling and moving suitable materials on site. The correct grab depends on the excavator, material type and the task being carried out.
Attachment Hire Ltd can advise on digging grab hire before the attachment is supplied. As with all hired attachments, our team can confirm compatibility, deliver using our own transport and fit the equipment to the customer’s own excavator.
Pile croppers are specialist hydraulic attachments used for fast, safe and efficient pile trimming. Attachment Hire Ltd supplies HyForce pile breaking systems, designed to crop piles while leaving reinforcement bars undamaged and fully exposed.
HyForce pile croppers use synchronised cutting heads for precise, controlled cropping. The range includes options for square piles, round piles and contiguous piles, with the 4 Jaw PCR range including PCR450, PCR650 and PCR900 models. PCR models operate at up to 350 bar hydraulic pressure and use a synchronised four-blade system to deliver even crushing force.
The PCR450 is a compact option for round and square piles, the PCR650 is suited to larger diameter and square piles, and the PCR900 can trim piles up to 900mm diameter. These systems are suitable for residential, commercial, infrastructure, bridge, rail and heavy civil engineering projects.
Screening buckets are used for separating, sorting and screening materials directly on site. Attachment Hire Ltd supplies OKADA excavator-mounted screening buckets for 8 to 30 tonne excavators.
These screening buckets are suitable for processing soil, topsoil, compost, aggregates, demolition waste and recycled materials. By screening material on site, contractors can reduce disposal costs, improve productivity and reuse suitable materials more efficiently on construction, landscaping and earthmoving projects.
Piling hammers are heavy-duty excavator attachments used for driving piles, posts and sheet piles into the ground. Attachment Hire Ltd supplies hydraulic piling hammers for 5 to 40 tonne excavators.

With powerful hydraulic cutting force and durable curved blades, tank shears help contractors carry out controlled cutting during demolition and decommissioning projects. They can reduce manual labour, improve site safety and support efficient processing of large-scale steel assets.
Tree shears are excavator-mounted attachments designed for controlled cutting of trees, branches and vegetation. Attachment Hire Ltd supplies the EXAC-1 Treemaster tree shear for 5 to 20 tonne excavators.
Tree shears are suitable for forestry, land clearance, roadside maintenance and utility work. They allow operators to cut vegetation from the excavator, helping reduce manual labour, improve site safety and speed up clearance operations where conditions are suitable.
Hydraulic breakers are used when a powerful excavator attachment is needed for breaking concrete, rock, hardstanding and other tough materials. Attachment Hire Ltd supplies breakers for 1 to 100 tonne excavators, giving contractors options for a wide range of machines and site tasks.
The right breaker depends on excavator size, the material being broken and the level of force required. Our team can advise on suitable breaker hire before the equipment is supplied, helping customers avoid delays caused by choosing an attachment that is too small, too large or poorly matched to the excavator.
Excavator-mounted hydraulic flail mulchers are versatile vegetation management attachments used for cutting and mulching grass, brush, shrubs and small trees. Attachment Hire Ltd supplies hydraulic flail mulchers for 3 to 20 tonne excavators.
Powered by the excavator’s hydraulic system, these attachments provide efficient cutting and mulching performance across embankments, roadsides, waterways, forestry sites and overgrown land.
