Mini diggers and excavators are the workhorses of the construction and landscaping industries, handling a variety of tasks with precision and power. One key factor that contributes to their efficiency is the availability of versatile attachments. Excavator attachments with multi-pin pick-up designs have been gaining popularity for the benefits they bring to the table. Join us as we delve into the advantages of investing in excavator attachments equipped with a multi-pin pick-up design and how they can revolutionise your operations.
Multi-pin pick-up refers to the hanger design of your excavator attachment. They are usually manufactured to suit numerous pin set-ups. On a standard digger bucket or attachment, you will find the hanger has 2 dummy pins. The hangers and pins will be manufactured to a set configuration to suit your specific make and model of excavator. So, this means those buckets and attachments will only fit the dimensions of a machine with the same pin dimensions. But with a multi-pin pick-up attachment, they are manufactured with numerous pin set-ups.
For example: Rhinox 5 to 9 ton excavator concrete pouring buckets are manufactured with two sets of pin holes and are supplied with three sets of pins - 45mm, 50mm and 60mm. This allows you to swap between the different pin sizes and arrange them in the attachment hanger to the specifications of your excavator size.
A standout benefit of multi-pin pick-up attachments is the ability to use the same attachment across a range of machine sizes. Traditional 2-pin attachments are often designed with a specific pin size, limiting their use to one particular machine or machine size. But with multi-pin pick-up attachments, you gain the flexibility to use the same attachment across a variety of machines, as long as their pin sizes are within the configuration of the multi-pin pick-up attachment. For example, the Rhinox 12 to 25 ton excavator pallet forks will fit a 12 ton excavator on 65mm pins but also a 25 ton excavator on 80mm pins. Not only does this save you money on purchasing the same attachment for multiple machines but it also enhances your productivity - especially if you're working on a larger site. Being able to fit the same attachment to more than one machine means if one excavator is busy, another excavator can use the same attachment to complete the job, keeping you on schedule and reducing operator and excavator downtime.
As briefly mentioned above, one of the most significant advantages of opting for multi-pin pick-up excavator attachments is the cost savings associated with fitting the attachment to more than one machine. Instead of purchasing separate attachments for each excavator or excavator size, you can invest in a single attachment that can be easily interchanged between different machines. This not only reduces the initial investment of purchasing the excavator attachments but also minimises the need for additional storage space, transportation requirements and maintenance costs. This is especially useful for larger attachments like concrete pouring buckets that take up a lot of space on site and during transport. So now, instead of purchasing, storing and maintaining multiple attachments, you only need to look after one - saving you space, time and money!
The ability to interchange attachments across various machines and sizes not only streamlines operations but also saves vast amounts of money. As industries continue to evolve, embracing versatile technologies like multi-pin pick-up attachments will play a crucial role in maximising the potential of excavators and operators. So if you want to save time and money, while improving efficiency on your jobs then maybe it's time to consider multi-pin pick-up attachments for your excavators.
