Expand Your Business With Attachments for Skid Steers, Excavators and Backhoes

Expanding the services your construction business offers doesn’t always require a huge investment. Adding attachments for your existing heavy equipment can open doors to new jobs.

“Any time you add an attachment, it gives you an opportunity to expand your business footprint,” said Rob Bristow, who sells Takeuchi and Link-Belt equipment for EquipmentShare. “It can be as small as a set of pallet forks allowing you to move stuff without a forklift or as big as adding a forestry head to a high-flow track loader that allows you to do land-clearing jobs.”

To help make your business more productive and profitable, consider nine of the most popular attachments for your skid steers, excavators and backhoes.

Attachments

Concrete Breakers

These hydraulic hammers can help flatwork crews expand into demolition work by breaking up concrete and separating it from rebar.

Augers

These drills can help fencing companies dig post holes more efficiently, aid landscapers in the tree-planting process and allow concrete crews to create precise holes to pour footings or piles.

Pallet Forks

Despite the name, they can move more than pallets of materials — they also can transport large rocks, brush and logs for landscaping projects.

Grapple Buckets

A version of this attachment with an open skeleton bottom can help you perform demolition and landscaping jobs by allowing you to move big chunks of concrete or trees while leaving behind the smaller debris and dirt. 

Mowers

These attachments can help you tame thick brush and even small trees that would stop a lawn tractor in its tracks.

Trenchers

These attachments resemble chainsaw blades. They dig up the ground in straight lines and are often used for irrigation systems and the placement of water lines and power lines.

Soil Conditioners

These tillers can break through hard ground and mix soil with compost so it’s ready to be used for gardening or landscaping projects. 

Power rakes

These tools have evenly spaced tines that dig into the soil to level broken ground, break up chunks and remove pieces of debris. They’re commonly used for agriculture and landscaping.

Sweepers

These serve as enormous brooms, cleaning up debris from jobsites or other paved surfaces.
