Built to fit the machine you run

Nothing here is an off-the-shelf pattern that you have to make work. Every unit is manufactured to your machine's tonnage, hitch and pin centres, so it bolts up to Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Kobelco, Volvo, CASE, Kubota, Yanmar and Takeuchi alike. Send us the make, model and pin sizes and we match the bracket before it ships - if your machine isn't on this list, it still fits.

Rock Breaker & Mud Sieve Buckets

After receiving our first order which had a rock breaker and some mud sieve buckets we knew we'd come back for more, just placed the 3rd order, great service and advice from the sales team, the quality and finish of the attachments are better than I can get locally and a better price.

Mechanical Grab

We bought a mechanical grab for 20T excavator. Good communication during the whole process via email or phone. Good quality product which we haven't had a problem with at all. They also offered to help install when we picked up but was not required. All departments from order to pickup were very helpful.

Ripper & Rake

Recently bought a ripper and a rake for a 8ton digger, both great quality attachments. The guys at Aussie buckets are very easy to deal with, straight forward for ordering and purchasing. The rake is great for any job in grass or vegetation, even when mixed with rocks or rubbish.

Hydraulic Grab

The hydraulic grab is better than any Christmas pressi. I use it on my farm dealing with trees and firewood. Also pipe laying. Try lifting 450 dia 12m long HDPE pipe and the grab fits perfect. OK the little Kubota knows it got a big fish on the hook but I can do what I can't do otherwise. Great choice - by me, great product thanks to you.

Hydraulic Grab & Auger

Great company to deal with. Excellent quality hydraulic grab attachment. The company was so nice to deal with I placed another order for a different attachment. Also kept me updated on my order from start to finish. Received my new auger and it is an amazing piece of kit coupled with a 350mm auger and I got the 1m extension also. Had a bit of time to test everything out and the grab is great for moving posts rocks and anything else to save my back. The auger has plenty of torque and because I'm in a bit of rocky ground I got the combination auger and it's busting through it quite well. Still very happy with my order and Aussie Buckets support and after sale check in just to see how everything is going.

I love the design and the quality. I would very much recommend this product and I will look to source some more attachments through them in the future!

Frequently asked questions

What is a side grip pile driver? A side-grip pile driver is an excavator attachment that clamps a pile along its side rather than at its head, so the pile can be lifted from a flat stack, rotated upright and driven by vibration. Aussie Buckets side-grip drivers cover 20 to 36 tonne excavators across two builds.
Side grip or top-down pile driver: which do I need? A side grip lifts piles from a flat stack and rotates them upright, which removes the crane from the sequence entirely. A top-down driver clamps the pile head and suits sheet piling and general foundation work on 18 to 60 tonne machines. How your piles arrive on site usually decides it.
Does a side grip pile driver need a crane? No, and that is the point of the side grip. The driver clamps the pile lying down on the stack, lifts it, rotates it upright through the excavator's tilt and rotation, and drives it. The crane that would otherwise present each pile comes off the schedule.
What size excavator does a side grip driver need? Two builds cover 20 to 36 tonne machines, with clamping force, eccentric moment, weight and flow requirement listed per build. The machine lifts and rotates the pile as well as the driver, so lift capacity at reach matters. Send your machine details and pile specifications.
How much does a side grip pile driver cost? Aussie Buckets side-grip vibrating pile drivers start at $128,675. Price moves with machine class and clamping capacity, and 0% finance is available on approved purchases. Every build is protected by a 5-year warranty and lifetime technical support.
