THE COUPLER CAN STOP THE JOB

Attachments and compatibility

Buckets, hammers, grabs, forks and augers need compatible couplers, hydraulics, controls and machine capacity.

Read the whole workface.

Buckets, hammers, grabs, forks and augers need compatible couplers, hydraulics, controls and machine capacity. The useful starting point is the outcome: what must be moved, lifted, compacted, reached, powered or supported, and by when. Equipment class follows that outcome—not the other way around.

Share the exact site location, access dimensions, ground information, programme and expected working hours. Photos, drawings and quantities help a supplier test the proposed configuration against the real task. Ask where the equipment will mobilise from and what is included in the quoted basis.

Availability and site conditions change. Use this guide as a briefing framework, then confirm machine specification, attachments, operator model, transport, documentation, support and current commercial terms directly with the supplier.

ASK BEFORE ALLOCATION

Three questions that expose the gaps.

  1. Is the attachment tested?
  2. Are hoses and pins supplied?
  3. Does it alter the lift chart?
