There are various attachments that can be used for an excavator, and it is important to ensure you are making the right choice to suit the work ahead. Here are the six most common attachments for a digger.

Excavators are all too common in the construction industry but with so many to choose from it can make the choice difficult as to which one you should choose. Of course, there are several factors that will influence the success of your project, however, some will weigh in on the decision more than others.

The following points highlight areas for you to consider when choosing the right excavator for your work site.

Lifting equipment and materials is an everyday part of the construction industry, and a telehandler can be one of the most valuable, time saving machines that you can utilise. The telehandler, also known as a telescopic handler, a teleporter or a boom lift, is commonly used in the agricultural and construction industry while also being used in distribution centres where a traditional forklift can’t reach. The telehandler you could say is a hybrid of a crane and a forklift, offering manoeuvrability and versatility for different projects.

Because we think telehandlers are an amazing machine, we have compiled a list of 5 benefits of a telehandler below.

Mine site dust suppression and construction site dust suppression is critical for both large and small projects ranging from Wagga Wagga to Victoria. A water carrier that can perform bulk water haulage is one effective way to control the dust levels and keep your project site clear and on track. At Yellow Hire, we offer water truck hire to assist both large companies and individual owner-operators in Southern New South Wales with their dust control needs.

When you are working on a construction site that involves demolition or earthworks in areas that are dry and prone to dust build ups, water carts are an essential piece of equipment on site. Not only can they provide large quantities of potable water to locations where clean drinking water isn’t easily accessible, but the water they transport can be utilised for a wide range of tasks such as field irrigation, dust suppression on work sites and unsealed roads (which need regular spraying to prevent dust issues), soil compression assistance, potable water transport, fire prevention and fire protection, environmental rehabilitation, and surface wetting.

When you are working in the construction industry, it’s vital that before you start building you have a flat and even surface to build on. While common pieces of construction equipment such as bobcats and bulldozers can create a relatively flat surface, to create the perfect final trim surface you need a specialised piece of machinery – the grader.

Graders, also known as motor graders and road graders are a jack of all trades machine. Able to handle jobs from all aspects of construction and earthmoving, including spreading, fine grading, site clearing and even snow removal from sites that are located in cold areas that are prone to snowfall in the winter months, graders are used across all areas of construction from residential to civil and commercial construction.

While they are commonly associated with the construction and maintenance of dirt and gravel roads, motor graders can also be used to set the soil or gravel foundation of a block for construction of buildings from small residential blocks to large scale subdivisions.
