Adding Auxiliary Hydraulics to Excavators: Aux & Conversion Kits

 

 

 

Many industries rely on the heavy duty work performance that only excavators can provide, which is why many operators want to learn more about adding auxiliary hydraulics to excavators. Excavators with the right attachments, powered by auxiliary hydraulics, provide the machine utilization required for demanding applications required in:

●       Demolition

●       Construction

●       Mining

●       Oil and gas

These are just a few of the industries that demand heavy-duty machinery and equipment the only excavators and powerful attachments can provide. Choosing the right attachment for your excavator is important to streamline your heavy duty work for a more efficient and productive job.

Heavy Duty Excavator Attachments Need Auxiliary Hydraulics

Excavators provide the versatility to choose from a wide selection of robust, heavy-duty attachment tools to get the job done with the quickest and easiest solution. Making sure your excavator can power the most demanding attachments is critical for productive and efficient work. Adding auxiliary hydraulics to excavators and mini-excavators opens the door for greater possibilities by making your excavator a big tool carrier.

Some heavy-duty attachments that require robust auxiliary hydraulics include:

 

●    Hydraulic breakers and hammers – quickly demolish concrete buildings and more with powerful hydraulic hammering.

●    Excavator grapple - a universal, primary hydraulic power tool with powerful moving jaws for loading and sorting.

●      Hydraulic thumb - the thumb allows for grabbing and sorting through demolition debris and aids in recycling. A hydraulic diverter valve can help power the hydraulic thumb and keep the hoses clear from twisting, turning movements.

These are just a few of the most popular excavator attachments that require auxiliary hydraulics for powerful and efficient heavy duty work tasks.
