BUCKETS

Cat buckets and Cat Ground Engaging Tools (GET) are designed and matched to the machine to ensure optimal performance and fuel efficiency.

CENTER-LOCK™ PIN GRABBER COUPLER

Center-Lock is a pin grabber coupler and features a patent-pending locking system. A highly visible secondary lock clearly shows the operator when the coupler is engaged or disengaged from the bucket or work tool..

H120GC

Cat® Hammers make short work of your demolition, construction, and quarry needs. Combine the simple, lightweight design of the GC Hammer series with the reliability, durability, and value you expect from Cat products. The result is a low cost per hour solution providing the consistent power and performance you need.

RIPPERS

Constructed from high-strength steels and built to last, Cat rippers endure in the toughest conditions. The box-section structure is reinforced for maximum rigidity, transmitting the full machine power to the material being ripped. Rippers feature a replaceable wear tip, and most models also come equipped with a replaceable shank protector.

GRAPPLES

Cat grapples make Cat excavators the ideal machine for handling loose material, sorting trash, and demolition site cleanup. An array of styles and sizes is available to match excavators to the task at hand.

MULTI-PROCESSORS

Multi-processors do the work of many types of demolition tools by use of interchangeable jaw sets. Changing jaws allows a single unit to crush, pulverize, and perform a variety of specialized tasks such as cutting steel rebar and tanks.

SHEARS

Cat shears are designed to take full advantage of the hydraulic flows and pressures produced by Cat excavators – all to enhance productivity without compromising safety or causing premature wear of the shear or carrier.

PULVERIZERS

Mechanical pulverizers are cost-effective tools for recycling demolished concrete debris. The bucket cylinder on the excavator powers the pulverizer, eliminating the need for a dedicated cylinder, associated hydraulics, and additional installation cost.

VIBRATORY PLATE COMPACTOR

Cat compactors make job site compaction quick, efficient, and cost effective.

CRUSHER

The hydraulic concrete crusher is well suited for demolition in residential areas. The tool combines several demolition operations in one piece of equipment:
