Making the right decisions is a crucial factor between success and failures especially when it involves projects that are bound by both time and budget constraints. Most construction projects would involve an element of demolition regardless if the project is as small as a home improvement project, landscaping or constructing a large building, if there are any existing structures that need to be removed, a demolition initiative would be in order.

In recent times, demolition work often involves the use of excavators. An excavator hire company supplies the machinery, with the initial hire providing an excavator in standard configuration, it is left up to the project manager renting the excavator to choose the additional attachments that are required for the project. However, with the multitude demolition attachments along with other types of attachments that cater for various other functions makes selecting the perfect attachment for a project a complex task, nevertheless it is crucial towards helping contractors complete projects not just efficiently, but also effectively within the given timeframe and budgets.

From small grapples and pulverisers for mini excavators to massive hammers and breakers the sheer choices available to contractors cannot be taken blindly as these attachments are additional costs when it involves excavators for hire. Hence, it is crucial for contractors to refine their attachment selection process towards ensuring that the return on investment is optimal.

Prior to selecting an attachment, it is imperative that the range of tasks involved is listed as demolition work for instance could involve primary and secondary demolition that requires the destruction of anything from rebar-enforced concrete to and wood not to mention that there might also be material moving work and digging tasks. Multi-quick processors, crushers, pulverisers, shears and demolition grapples are generally the top selection for primary demolition work, however the choice made solely depends on the kind of material that needs to be destroyed.

For instance, both crushers and pulveriser are perfect solutions for the destruction of concrete, however if the concrete consists of rebar the pulveriser would be the better choice because it would be able to cut through embedded rebar. Hence attachments that sport both cutting edges and teeth would be the right choice or else the removal of large concrete chunks still clinging on to the metal grid would become a nuisance during the clean-up process.

For smaller construction jobs which involve wood and brick which are common in-home improvement projects that require demolition, demolition grapples would be the perfect option as apart from breaking materials the rotating grapples will cater for sorting work in secondary demolition processes. In the event that versatility is a fundamental factor that involves a variety of demolition tasks, a multi-quick processor would be the best choice as this attachment consists of interchangeable jaws that are capable of handling a multitude of materials.

Therefore, selecting the right type of attachment plays a crucial role towards increasing the versatility and productivity of the excavator which optimises the use of the excavator and the attachment which are also generally given out separately for hire.
