Tools maketh the man

Having the right attachments is essential for earthmoving businesses aiming to maximise efficiency, productivity and safety on the jobsite.

- 

Professionals know that the correct attachments can transform standard equipment into versatile solutions that meet a range of construction, excavation and demolition demands.

Implements such as augers, grapples, compactors and specialised buckets can allow one machine to tackle diverse tasks, from digging trenches to crushing concrete and handling materials.

This adaptability means businesses can take on more projects with fewer machines, reducing overhead costs and jobsite clutter while speeding up project delivery times.

Victoria-based civil industry specialist CDL Constructions is one such business that knows the value of getting the most out of attachments, and that means picking the right brand in the first place.

Earthmoving Equipment Magazine recently visited the Bayswater North premises of CDL to speak to Managing Director Alex Canale and General Manager Adam Gemelli about the company and the importance of using robust equipment.

"Choosing attachments tailored to the task reduces energy consumption, lowers wear and tear, and minimises maintenance needs," Adam said.

"Strategic attachment choices help a business maintain a sustainable, cost-effective operation, extending the equipment's lifespan and ensuring high return on investment.

"The right tool for the job isn’t just about efficiency — it’s also about safety and precision. Attachments designed for specific tasks help operators work more accurately and safely, reducing manual labour risks and keeping personnel protected on high-risk projects like demolition or deep trenching.
