Attachment Selection Guide

Excavator and site-prep attachments should be selected by machine class, hydraulic requirements, job type, mounting style, and shipping constraints. Use this checklist before ordering from ExcavatorPin.

Selection Checklist

• Carrier class: confirm machine weight class and manufacturer limits.
• Hydraulic flow and pressure: verify GPM, PSI, and case drain requirements before ordering hydraulic attachments.
• Mounting style: confirm pin-on, quick coupler, quick-change lugging, or universal mount compatibility.
• Job type: match the attachment to trenching, compaction, demolition, brush clearing, grading, lifting, or handling.
• Delivery: confirm LTL freight, unloading equipment, delivery access, or local pickup before checkout.

Good Questions to Ask

• Will this attachment fit my machine without modification?
• Does my machine have the hydraulic flow required?
• Do I need a case drain line?
• Can my site unload the freight crate safely?

For help, send EP your machine make, model, weight class, hydraulic specs, attachment target, and delivery ZIP code.
