Will it fit my excavator?
Fits the AM10, AM12 and AM16 and other 1.0 t to 1.8t t mini excavators with the 25P/90C/92E hook-up: 25 mm pins, 90 mm pin centres and 92 mm ear width. Fitment is decided by those three measurements, not by tonnage.
Machines fitted with a quick hitch or a non-standard pickup can differ. Not sure? Send us a photo of the arm end with the pin diameter, pin centres and ear width, or pick your make and model on the attachments page.

- Hardened bolt-on teeth — fully replaceable wear parts
- Reinforced structure with bolt-on side cutters and reinforced leading edge
Confirm fitment by measuring your machine's pin diameter, pin centres and inside ear width.
What the attachment is actually made of, and why each part is built the way it is. Wear points decide how long an attachment lasts — these are the ones worth understanding before you buy.
High-tensile shell
The body is folded and welded from high-tensile plate rather than mild steel, so it holds its shape under load instead of belling out at the sides.
Hardened cutting edge
A bolt-on hardened edge takes the abrasion first. It is a wear part by design — replace the edge, keep the bucket.
Wear strips and side cutters
Wear strips run under the base and side cutters protect the corners, which is where a bucket normally fails first in rock and shale.
Machined pin bosses
Pin bosses are machined and the ears are welded to your machine's pin diameter, centres and ear width — not shimmed to fit afterwards.
Click-and-collect from Derwent Park, Hobart. Buckets, rippers, hitches and other bulky attachments are collection only at checkout. If you are outside Hobart, ask us for a freight quote before you order. Oversized attachments travel on a pallet by road freight to a ground-floor address, so a forklift, loader or a hand at your end makes unloading a lot easier.
Free pickup. Collection from our workshop costs nothing. We'll call when your order is ready, and we can check the hook-up on your machine while you're here.
Lead time. Stocked sizes are ready within two business days. Anything built with a hook-up to suit your machine is made to order; we confirm the build time with you before we take payment.
How do I know this will fit my machine?
Fitment is decided by the hook-up — pin diameter, pin centres and ear width — not by your machine's tonnage. Send us your make, model and serial number, or a photo of the arm end with those three measurements, and we'll confirm the correct hook-up before the order is built.
Are pins included?
No. Pins are ordered separately unless the listing says otherwise. Most people reuse the pins from their existing bucket.
Will it work with a quick hitch?
Usually, but a quick hitch changes the effective pin centres. Tell us which hitch you run and we'll match the hook-up to the hitch rather than to the arm.
What does the warranty cover?
12 months on parts, on top of your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Wear items — teeth, cutting edges, ripper tips, wear strips — are excluded, as they are consumed in normal use.
Can I pay it off?
Yes. We refer equipment finance through a third party for business purchases. Any repayment figure shown on this page is an estimate only, not a quote and not an offer of finance.
What if it doesn't suit once it arrives?
Where the attachment matches the measurements advertised, a return because it doesn't suit your machine is at our discretion and a restocking fee may apply. This does not limit your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Confirming fitment with us first avoids the problem entirely.
