The right attachments keep construction projects efficient, safe, and on budget, helping contractors adapt quickly to shifting demands and challenges
When pricing and delivering construction projects in the current market, one of the key considerations is ensuring access to the most optimal equipment at the right time. Specialised machinery and attachments can give contractors an edge, ensuring tasks are completed efficiently, safely and critically within budget.
The right excavator attachments
Accessing the right excavator attachments for the time needed, such as tilt buckets, rock breakers, compaction wheels, augers, or more specialised attachments like cutting wheels or vacuum excavation attachments is essential when adapting to different and changing project requirements, whether it’s demolition, excavation, vegetation management, piling or foundation work.
Flexibility – stay agile
Often a piece of specialised gear is needed unexpectedly, or a new or innovative attachment can deliver a more efficient solution. Working with suppliers who offer a wide range of options is key. Providing equipment that works with various machine models ensures compatibility, performance and fleet optimisation. By investing in the correct attachments, contractors can reduce the risk of equipment failure, delays or downtime.
“The decision to hire or purchase attachments is another important aspect,” says Clem Simpkin, founder of Robur Hire NZ. “Hiring specialised attachments can provide cost-effective and timely solutions for projects that require equipment for a limited duration.”
Projects involving unique or uncommon tasks, like trenching in difficult soil types, might only need specialised attachments for a short period. Hiring allows businesses to avoid the upfront capital expenditure, storage costs and long-term maintenance responsibilities associated with owning specialised tools.
Minimise investment
Additionally, hiring equipment enables contractors to access the latest technology without committing to long-term investment. This can be particularly advantageous on projects with tight deadlines or highly variable requirements. Robur Hire maintain, fully service and repair hired equipment, ensuring reliability and performance every time, reducing risk and the burden on construction companies.
Transparent pricing and local knowledge
