What to Send for an Excavator Attachment Quote

Start with the machine

The excavator model and tonnage narrow the attachment range immediately. If the machine has a quick hitch, the hitch details matter as much as the excavator model because the attachment must match the pickup.

  • Send the make, model and tonnage from the machine plate or operator manual.
  • Tell us whether the attachment is going straight on the pins or onto a quick hitch.
  • If the machine has auxiliary hydraulics, include that for grabs, augers and hammers.

Photos reduce back-and-forth

Clear photos often answer the questions that slow a quote down. The best set is two close photos of the pin or hitch area and one wider photo showing the current attachment and machine.

  • Photograph both sides of the hitch or current bucket ears.
  • Include a tape measure in the photo if you are measuring pin centres or width.
  • For hydraulic attachments, show the couplers and hose setup if they are already fitted.

Add site and timing details

Stock and freight options depend on where the gear is going and how quickly you need it. Tuff Buckets can confirm pickup from Berkeley Vale or freight options for Central Coast, Sydney, Newcastle and wider Australian delivery.

  • Include the delivery suburb, site access notes and preferred timing.
  • Say if you can collect from Berkeley Vale or need freight to a yard or worksite.
  • Mention whether you are comparing new, hire or used equipment options.

Quote checklist

Details to send before requesting a quote

Use this list to give the team the fitment, application and freight context needed to price the right attachment.

Send these details first

It helps the team confirm fitment, availability and freight faster.

  • Excavator make, model and tonnage.
  • Attachment type needed, such as GP bucket, mud bucket, grab, ripper, auger or hammer.
  • Pin diameter, pin centre spacing and dipper width, if you know them.
  • Quick hitch brand and model, or clear photos of the hitch and current attachment.
  • Two close photos of the pins, ears or hitch, plus one wider photo of the machine setup.
  • Delivery suburb or pickup preference from Berkeley Vale.
  • Timing, urgency and whether the quote is for purchase, hire or used equipment.

Common questions

Can Tuff Buckets quote from photos?

Photos are often enough to start the conversation, especially when they show the machine, hitch and pin area clearly. Some custom or hydraulic setups may still need extra measurements before pricing is final.

What if I do not know the pin sizes?

Send the excavator make, model, tonnage and photos of the current setup. The team can often identify the likely fitment or tell you exactly what to measure next.

Should I ask for purchase, hire or used equipment?

Tell the team what the job needs and how long you need the attachment for. They can confirm whether new stock, hire gear or used equipment is the better fit where available.
