When it comes time to mix concrete or tear it up, these 11 construction equipment attachments can handle the job.

Coupled to your compact or large machines, they can cut, break and pry apart concrete or asphalt pavement. And some can even mix material when it’s time to pour new pavement.

Others will work on robotic equipment, including for hydrodemolition and separating rebar. And several offer dust suppression to meet federal rules governing airborne crystalline silica.

Check out these 11 attachments:

Danuser’s Mega Mixer material handling bucket (shown above) is designed to mix, scoop and dispense a variety of construction and agricultural materials, including bag-mix concrete. Recently added features include an easy-to-operate discharge end; an 8-inch diameter with 8-inch pitch steel auger for faster mixing and dispensing; and a 22.8-cubic-inch motor for improved torque, capable of dispensing 3/4 yard of material in 26 seconds. Mounts on both sides allow the operator to dispense on the right or left side of the host vehicle.           

Worksaver SS-590 Hydraulic Cement MixerWorksaver SS-590 Hydraulic Cement MixerWorksaverWorksaver’s SS-590 Hydraulic Cement Mixer eliminates chain and sprocket maintenance thanks to a direct hydraulic line to the gearbox. The attachment’s 11-cubic-foot drum can mix and place 5 cubic feet of concrete at a time. The drum is constructed of welded steel and has internal angled paddles for uniform concrete mixing and clean dumping. Standard features include connect-under-pressure couplers, flow control valve to control mixer speed, and a single lever to engage and disengage the drum. The attachment is designed for fence posts, footings, sidewalls and hard-to-reach areas. 

General Equipment 190M CUT-R-TACHGeneral Equipment 190M CUT-R-TACHGeneral EquipmentGeneral Equipment's 190M CUT-R-TACH rotary asphalt cutting attachment features a 19-inch-diameter blade that can cut as deep as 5.5 inches at 6,000 feet per hour. The 190M is compatible with most standard motor grader moldboards or dozer blades. One stationary jaw and one vertically adjustable jaw can accommodate clamping heights from 13 to 28 inches. Angle cutting is enabled by tilting the moldboard. The attachment’s blade can be replaced in the field without disturbing bearings or seals. Twin Timken-type tapered roller bearings deliver up to 50,000 pounds of downforce.
