Custom Solutions Built Around Real-World Applications

At EHL New Plymouth, we understand that no two jobs are alike. That’s why we specialise in tailored attachment solutions designed to maximise machine capability and efficiency in real operating conditions.

Our attachments are used across a wide range of industries, including:

  • Civil construction and roading
  • Earthmoving and site preparation
  • Forestry and land clearing
  • Demolition and recycling
  • Agriculture and rural contracting
  • Drainage and utilities installation

Whether it’s improving material handling, increasing digging efficiency, or enhancing operator safety, we design every attachment with a clear application in mind.

A Comprehensive Range of Excavator Attachments

Our New Plymouth team has developed a reputation for delivering high-quality, purpose-built attachments that stand up to demanding environments.

🔧 Thumbs

Excavator thumbs are essential for gripping, lifting, and placing irregular materials such as logs, rocks, scrap, and demolition debris.
Applications:

  • Demolition sorting
  • Forestry operations
  • Waste handling

🪣 Buckets

We design and fabricate a wide range of buckets—including general-purpose, heavy-duty, trenching, and custom specialty buckets.
Applications:

  • Bulk earthworks
  • Trenching and drainage
  • Precision digging

Each bucket is engineered for strength, wear resistance, and optimal fill efficiency.

🦾 Claws & Grabs

Claws and grabs provide the strength and control needed to manage bulky or awkward materials with precision.
Applications:

  • Scrap handling
  • Green waste removal
  • Demolition material sorting

🔄 Tilts & Tilt Hitches

Tilts and tilt hitches significantly improve machine versatility by allowing attachments to operate at multiple angles without repositioning the excavator.
Applications:

  • Batter shaping and finishing
  • Drain profiling
  • Detailed landscaping

These systems increase efficiency, reduce machine movement, and deliver cleaner results on complex jobs.

Rippers

Rippers are designed for heavy-duty ground penetration, breaking up compacted soil, rock, and frost-affected ground.
Applications:

  • Hard ground excavation
  • Quarry work
  • Site prep in tough conditions

Built for durability, our rippers are ideal for environments where standard buckets struggle.

🛠 Scrapers

Scrapers help achieve consistent surfaces and efficient material leveling.
Applications:

  • Road preparation
  • Pad and foundation levelling
  • Finishing work

🛡 Roll Over Protection (ROPS)

Safety is always front of mind. We design and install roll over protection systems to safeguard operators working in hazardous or uneven terrain.
Applications:

  • Forestry
  • Steep or unstable sites
  • High-risk operating environments
