Salmon Buckets and Attachments (SBA) is renowned throughout Australia as a high quality and innovative manufacturer of buckets, quick hitches and other earthmoving attachments, designed to improve onsite productivity, efficiency and safety. The products have a proven track record and are repeatedly trusted by the world’s Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). At its core, the business is committed to delivering products that exceed expectations, outlast the competition, and perform flawlessly across all applications. As SBA Marketing Manager Will Salmon told Earthmoving Equipment Magazine, whether they are used in construction, demolition, mining, agriculture, landscaping, or material handling, the products are built to deliver unmatched quality, reliability, and durability. "That's because we understand how crucial equipment performance is to your productivity,” he said.
A legacy of excellence
SBA is a third-generation, family-owned Australian business with a rich legacy dating back to 1980.
What began as a small operation with just five employees, founded by Trevor Salmon, has grown into a national leader in earthmoving and demolition attachments.
In 2000, Trevor's son John Salmon took the reins, expanding the company's capabilities, product offerings, and national presence.
Now, the next generation continues the legacy, with Will joining the company and driving it into the future.
“Over the past 45 years, we've grown from our humble beginnings to a team of more than 100 employees spread across three major locations in New South Wales, Queensland, and Western Australia,” Will said.
