How to Measure Your Excavator Pins for a Perfect Fit

How to Measure Your Excavator Pins for a Perfect Attachment Fit  - Main Image

When ordering new attachments, accurate pin measurements are essential. Whether you're fitting directly to a quick hitch or using a half hitch, the right measurements ensure a perfect fit.

What You'll Need

A Vernier calliper gives the most accurate results, but a tape measure works if you're careful. You'll be measuring the pins on an existing attachment that fits your machine correctly.

The Key Measurements

We need pin diameters and centre-to-centre distances for both the dipper pin and the link pin positions. Take your time - accuracy here prevents fitment issues later.

Quick Tips

Pin diameters typically come in 5mm increments. If your measurement falls between standard sizes, call us to confirm. Clear photos alongside your written measurements help us verify specifications.

Submit Your Measurements

Email your measurements to sales@aussiebuckets.com.au or call 1300 295 369. Our team will confirm fitment before manufacture - because a purpose-built attachment should fit perfectly.
