Excavator attachments and civil spec features
To make the most of your excavator hiring, Astro Hire offers various excavator attachments to boost work rates and help you get more of the results you want. We know that modern civil and infrastructure projects need more than standard buckets, especially for specialist operations.
Here are some of the earthwork attachments you can hire from us today:

Rock breakers
Use rock breakers and hydraulic hammers to demolish rock surfaces and existing concrete. Break hard ground to make subsequent earth removal and bulk transfer easier.

Augurs
Leverage augers in various diameters for piers, fencing posts, and drilling footings. Bore into the ground with ease for more straightforward installations of construction elements.

Hydraulic grabs
Use hydraulic grabs for land clearing and material handling. Pick up vast quantities of material and shift it to different locations quickly without relying on manual labour.
Tilt hitches
Get tilt hitches for more accurate grading, earthworks and battering. Use these along with tilt buckets for specialist work.
Mid-to-large-scale civil spec machines
Our mid- to large-scale civil spec machines include safety features such as ROPS/FOPS cabs, rearview cameras, and burst-protection valves. Some units are GPS-ready and integrate into your 3D machine control systems for more precise operation on job sites.
