Attachments
Tackle your jobs with a complete Cat® solution. Cat attachments are not just accessories – they are essential tools that define what your machine can do. When you pair a Cat excavator with Cat attachments, you unlock a fully integrated system built for performance, durability, and efficiency. Whether you are clearing land, breaking concrete, or compacting soil, the right attachment transforms your excavator into a powerful, multi-purpose tool ready for any challenge. Depending on your project or application, you could benefit from excavator attachments such as:
- Buckets: Handle everything from digging and grading to cleanup and debris removal with your excavator. Caterpillar® offers general duty, heavy duty, extreme duty, and severe duty buckets, as well as specialized designs for ditch cleaning, rock, and finishing work. Reinforced edges and wear-resistant materials ensure long-lasting performance in tough conditions.
- Couplers (HEX): Cat® couplers for excavators enable fast, secure attachment changes, without the need to leave the cab. From Pin Grabbers to hydraulic quick connect options, couplers help reduce downtime, boost jobsite efficiency and promote versatility by allowing multiple machines to share a common attachment inventory.
- Hammers: Break concrete, rock, and steel with up to 1,000 blows per minute. Built for high-production demolition, quarrying, and construction, they offer powerful impact energy and consistent performance. Their durability and low-maintenance design make them essential for demanding breaking applications.
- Multi-Processors: A versatile tool for demolition, equipped with interchangeable jaws to handle concrete, steel, and rebar. Multi-Processors combine cutting, crushing and pulverizing capabilities in one attachment. Their modular design maximizes efficiency across a range of job site demands.
- Demolition and Sorting Grapples: Tackle larger debris or precisely sort materials into piles. These grapples are engineered for accuracy in demolition and material sorting, handling concrete, rebar, wood, and mixed debris. High clamping force and agile movement make them ideal for primary and secondary demolition and recycling operations.
- Scrap and Demolition Shears: Rotating shears provide precision cutting for metal structures, pipes, rebar, and scrap, making them ideal for demolition and recycling. Their powerful jaws and fast cycle times ensure clean cuts and high productivity. Built for durability, they excel in heavy-duty steel processing.
- Pulverizers: Built to crush concrete and separate rebar during demolition and recycling. With high crushing force and fast cycle times, pulverizers efficiently reduce material for easier handling. Primary models feature 360° bidirectional rotation and tackle structure teardown, while secondary models have a fixed jaw design and process debris after demolition.
- Compactors (Vibratory Plate): Compact soil, sand, gravel and asphalt quickly and efficiently to create a stable foundation. Vibratory plate compactors deliver high-impact force and even coverage, reducing air pockets and improving surface integrity for trenching, roadwork, and patching.
- Rotary Cutters: Get accurate, precise work with less noise and vibration. Cat® Rotary Cutters deliver high torque and precision for a range of applications: demolition, grinding, profiling, trenching, tunneling, and quarrying. Specifically designed for excavator-mounted use to handle heavy-duty materials like concrete, rock, and dense brush with ease.
- Orange Peel Grapples: Built for scrap and bulk material handling, Orange Peel Grapples excel with irregular, heavy loads like metal, rock, and waste. Their hydraulic tines provide superior grip and penetration. High-capacity and continuous rotation are perfect for scrap yards and transfer stations. Caterpillar® offers these grapples with a choice of different shell designs and tine options suited to various applications.
Cat® attachments are engineered to maximize your excavator’s productivity, helping you get more work done with greater efficiency and confidence.
