Moving soil, opening and finishing a ditch.

What this family solves

Digging and ditching 25 tools

• Earthmoving bucket Earthmoving bucket:
  width, teeth, capacity.
• Ditching bucket Ditching bucket, fixed or tilting:
  finishing banks, ditches and basins.
• Trapezoidal bucket Trapezoidal bucket:
  digging a V-section ditch in a single pass.
• Skeleton bucket Skeleton bucket:
  separating soil from stones without leaving the bucket.
• Ripper teeth and rippers Ripping tooth and ripper tooth:
  loosening rock without hydraulics.
• Grading blades and rakes Grading blade, heap-pushing blade, forestry rake:
  spreading, levelling, gathering.
• Reinforced bucket Reinforced bucket:
  an earthmoving bucket whose wear areas are doubled.
  It does not dig better, it lasts longer in abrasive ground.
• Rock bucket Rock bucket:
  closed profile, reinforced edge, penetrating teeth.
  It is made to rip out and load what has already been broken up.
• Grading bucket Grading bucket:
  wide, smooth, toothless.
  It grades banks and ditches to the required slope, in a single clean pass.
• Tilting ditching bucket Tilting ditching bucket:
  it tilts hydraulically to set the slope without moving the machine.
  The gain is counted in repositionings avoided.
• Narrow trenching bucket Narrow trenching bucket:
  a trench of small width, so less spoil to take out and less backfill to bring back.
  The calculation is soon done.
• Bucket with bolt-on teeth Bucket with bolt-on teeth:
  the tooth wears and is changed, the bucket remains.
  It is the wear-part system that makes the service life, not the steel of the body.
• Smooth toothless bucket Smooth toothless bucket:
  the width of a working bucket, an edge that does not mark.
  For picking up material on a surface already finished.
• Tilting bucket Tilting bucket:
  a ram tilts the body of the bucket to follow a slope without moving the machine.
  To be compared with the tilting coupler, which tilts everything.
• High-capacity bucket High-capacity bucket:
  more material per cycle, for light and bulked materials.
  The volume is not chosen on its own, it is chosen against the load chart.
• Weed-cutting bucket Weed-cutting bucket:
  slotted, it cleans out a ditch under water.
  The water and the fine silt escape, the vegetation and the deposits stay in the bucket.
• Stripping bucket Stripping bucket:
  wide, toothless, capacious.
  It takes off a layer of regular thickness over an area, and it moves the volume of it.
• 4-in-1 bucket 4-in-1 bucket:
  a bucket whose bottom opens like a jaw.
  Digging, scraping, gripping, metering out — four uses, and four compromises accepted.
• Bucket with an opening bottom Bottom-opening bucket:
  it empties from below, without turning over.
  For tipping in the right place, at height, and for metering out backfill.
• Quarry bucket Quarry bucket:
  a production tool.
  It is sized on the loading cycle and on the density of the blasted material, not on the tonnage.
• Forestry bucket Forestry bucket:
  reinforced body, protected bottom and sides, teeth made to tear out.
  The name covers several tools:
  we ask which one.
• Planting bucket Planting bucket:
  narrow and deep, it opens a planting pit and brings the soil back up to put round the root ball.
  A pit, not a hole.
• Lightweight aluminium bucket Lightweight aluminium bucket:
  what you gain in payload on a small machine, and what you lose in resistance to wear.
  A tool for particular cases.
• Multi-ripper rake Multi-ripper rake:
  several ripper teeth mounted as a rake.
  It opens the ground and gathers roots and stones in the same pass.
• Grading beam Levelling bar:
  a screed drawn at the end of the dipper arm.
  It smooths a layer already graded over its whole width, it does not move volume.

Breaking rock, concrete and scrap.

Demolishing and breaking 14 tools

• Hydraulic breaker Hydraulic breaker:
  choosing the hammer class, the flow and the pressure.
• Concrete crusher Concrete crusher:
  demolishing without percussion or vibration, and separating the bars.
• Hydraulic shear Hydraulic shear on an excavator:
  cutting structural steel and scrap.
• Demolition grabs Demolition grab, concrete crusher, shear:
  demolishing without percussion, sorting as you go.
• Mini-excavator breaker Mini-excavator breaker:
  the hammer for the small classes.
  The hydraulic line decides first, and the carrier range second — not the weight.
• Silenced hydraulic breaker Silenced breaker:
  a casing encloses the body of the hammer and limits the noise it radiates.
  It is the tool for sites with neighbours.
• Breaker point and chisel Breaker point and chisel:
  the wear part of the hammer.
  The profile is chosen on the material, and the maintenance decides how long it lasts.
• Multi-processor Multiprocessor:
  a rotating hydraulic body that takes several sets of jaws.
  One carrier tool, several demolition jobs.
• Scrap shear Scrap shear:
  the same technology as a demolition shear, used to cut up and size metal already on the ground.
• Crocodile shear Crocodile shear:
  a jaw hinged at the end, opening like a mouth.
  The name designates a geometry — and sometimes a workshop machine.
• Concrete pulveriser Concrete pulveriser:
  it picks up on the ground the concrete already brought down, reduces it and frees the reinforcement.
  It is the tool of secondary demolition.
• Interchangeable jaws Interchangeable jaws:
  the sets that a multiprocessor body takes.
  They specialise the tool and they wear out; the body, for its part, remains.
• Demolition ram Demolition ram:
  work by pushing, without percussion or squeezing.
  The word covers several realities — we start by pinning it down.
• Rock-armour grab Rock-armour grab:
  it grips and lays irregular natural blocks.
  It is precise lifting as much as handling, and that changes the rules.

Treating the material on site rather than carting it away.

What this family solves

Recycling and recovering 8 tools

  a drum that turns, stirs and breaks up the clods.
  It separates what a still screen merely rolls about.
• Screening and crushing bucket Screening and crushing bucket:
  it reduces the material before grading it.
  One pass instead of two, at the price of far more strain on the hydraulics.
• Hydraulic magnet Hydraulic magnet:
  it picks up metal without gripping it.
  The real question is not the coupler, it is what produces the current on board the machine.
• Grid bucket Grid bucket:
  a bucket whose bottom lets the fines through.
  It separates without hydraulics, at the speed of the arm, and sometimes that is all that is needed.

Cutting in cleanly rather than tearing out.

What this family solves

Cutting and milling 8 tools

  planing rock and concrete without percussion.
• Drum cutter Drum cutter:
  two pick rollers on a transverse axis that rasp a surface.
  It takes the material off in layers, without percussion and without shaking.
• Vertical drum cutter Vertical cutter:
  the drums turn in line with the tool and cut a narrow slot.
  It is the geometry that changes, not the principle.
• Asphalt planer Asphalt planer on an excavator:
  it takes off the wearing course to the required thickness, where a road planer cannot get into position.

  a chain on a bar that plunges and cuts deep, where a disc is limited by its radius and overruns in the corners.
• Diamond circular saw Diamond circular saw on an excavator:
  a diamond disc that cuts concrete and masonry to a line.
  The same principle as the asphalt disc, another job.
• Chain trencher Chain trencher:
  it is the trencher, named after its cutting part.
  A narrow, straight slot, of constant depth, without opening a trench.
• Rock chain trencher Rock chain trencher:
  the same architecture, a chain equipped for hard ground.
  What changes is the teeth and the output, not the principle.

Clearing scrub, mulching, felling.

Equipping and securing the machine 12 tools

• Long-reach boom Long-reach boom:
  it reaches far, but the load chart collapses at the end.

• Cab protection screen Cab protection grille:
  it stands between the driver and what may fall or be thrown up.
  The choice is made on the risk on the site.
• Ram protection Ram protection:
  a scratched ram rod leaks, and a leak immobilises the machine.
  The protection costs less than the repair.
• 2D grade guidance 2D guidance:
  the machine shows its depth and its slope in the cab, against a reference set on the site.
  No drawing, no georeferencing.
• 3D machine guidance 3D guidance:
  the machine knows where it is in the project's frame of reference and works on the digital model.
  That assumes data and trained people.
• On-board bucket weighing On-board weighing:
  the machine announces what it loads, bucket after bucket.
  It remains to be seen whether the weighing is indicative or has to stand as evidence.
• On-board camera On-board camera:
  it makes visible what the driver does not see.
  The blind spot of an excavator is an area where people walk.
• Boom LED lighting Boom LED lighting:
  seeing your tool, not only the ground in front of the machine.
  It is the positioning that makes the quality, not the power.
• On-board hydraulic power pack On-board hydraulic power pack:
  the answer when the machine has no auxiliary line, or does not supply what the tool demands.

Preparing the ground, removing stones.

Working the soil 8 tools

• Stone windrower Stone windrower:
  tines, a roller, and the stones lining up in a row.
  It does not carry them away: it gathers them, so that a second pass picks them up or crushes them.
• Stone picker Stone picker:
  a set of rakes, a hopper, and the field is cleared.
  It brings surface stones back towards the centre and stores them until the end of the field.
