Main Attachments That Make Backhoe More Versatile

by Harry Jessica Bobcat Hire Service

In terms of extending the use of backhoe hire QLD, there is a whole plethora of attachments available in the markets. You can use attachments like hydraulic breakers, thumb kits, compaction wheels, and quick couplers that are very useful as far as making a backhoe machine versatile is concerned. Apart from these, several other attachments are there to make these machines more functional, more useful, and more versatile. Some of those attachments have been discussed here in this article.

SERIES OF HYDRAULIC BREAKERS

The best thing about the series of hydraulic breakers offered by different manufacturers is that they come in a different range of force. Based on your needs, you can choose these breakers ranging from the force of 150 foot-pounds to anywhere till 12000 or even more force. These breakers also feature variable speed control and also, there is a large capacity accumulator to reduce shock load. One more very impressive feature is that there is carrier mounted auto-greasing system fitted in them that applies grease or lubricant on a regular basis to keep movements and functioning smoothly. This greasing system is designed to apply grease on different parts of the component like the breaker tool and bushings. The main role here is of the central grease port that has to adapt to most auto-lube systems. This breaker attachment gets powered with the help of a large nitrogen-gas chamber that allows for high-impact power. This series of breakers is ideally designed to be compatible with the backhoe hired by you, but the same works really well with other machines such as skid steers, excavators, and track loaders.

THUMB KIT MADE FOR EXTENDED BACKHOE

Hydraulic breakers are there, but another very versatile and useful attachment here is the thumb kit that is designed for backhoe loaders. The best thing you will experience about these attachments is that based on your needs, you can rent them with or without a quick coupler. Then, there is also the option of choosing between the hydraulic and the manual version. These thumb kits are mostly made from steel and they have a new main long pin designed for mounting as well as see-through plating between the tines. There is a long jump hose supplied along with the thumb kit for sticking to the hydraulic fittings. These thumb kits are very useful and can be used to clear the boom and stick at all points and they can even mesh with the teeth of the backhoe loader bucket.

CONVERTING RECOIL TO REUSABLE ENERGY

There is another version of hydraulic breakers offered that are designed to convert recoil energy into reusable energy and thus, deliver more power without consuming any additional hydraulic input. These breakers feature a box guiding system that minimizes recoil forces and as a result puts a lesser strain on the carrier, operator, and also the breaker. Some manufacturers of these attachments are found offering up to 14 different models of these carriers ranging in different forces from 2900 pounds to 155000 pounds maximum. These attachments work really fine with backhoe machines, but at the same time, you can use them with skid steer as well. With both these machines, this attachment will help in demolition, landscaping, building renovation, road construction, and rock excavation and quarrying.
