Couplers
Quick Couplers are the high-performance option for Cat® Excavators.
Couplers allow one man to change work tools in seconds for
maximum performance and flexibility on the job site. One machine
can move rapidly from task to task, and a fleet of similarly equipped
machines can share a common work tool inventory.

Thumbs

Caterpillar® Thumbs are the perfect complement to a Cat bucket.

Like the thumb and fingers on a human hand, a thumb with a
bucket can grasp oddly-shaped items and loose material, while still
folding out of the way for normal loading. Thumbs are ideal for use
on construction, forestry, demolition and land clearing job sites.

Stiff Link Thumb

Buckets
General Purpose
Built for digging in low-impact,
moderately abrasive materials
such as dirt, loam, gravel and clay.
Heavy Duty Power
For use in abrasive applications
where breakout force and cycle
times are critical – and for use
in materials such as tightly
compacted, mixed dirt and rock.
(Not recommended for clay.)
Hydraulic Thumb

applications such as mixed dirt, in highly abrasive applications

buckets are engineered-to-order
to accommodate a wide range
of applications. Talk to your Cat
dealer for more information.
Rippers
Caterpillar stick mounted rippers reduce the
need for a second machine in many ripping
applications. Frozen ground and shale can
be easily broken. High strength steel and
optional shank protector give toughness
to withstand the most difficult working
conditions.
 Compactors
Caterpillar Vibratory Plate
Compactors provide superior
compaction force in a
reliable, low-maintenance
package. These units
produce high-power
impulses at a rate of 2200
impacts per minute. Forces
generated by this vibration
drive soil particles close
together for solid, stable
compactions.

Grapples
Caterpillar Grapples replace
the bucket on Caterpillar
Excavators, converting them to
the ideal machine for handling
loose material, sorting trash,
and demolition site cleanup.
An array of styles and sizes are

Sizes range in capacity from
2.2 yd3 to 11 yd3.
Rakes
Rakes work the soil to
provide an improved growing
environment in reforestation
applications, and efficiently clear
and handle brush and other
woodland materials. Rakes are
CVP110 available for a wide range of
excavators. Increased loading

Hammers

Contractors’ Grapple
Contractors’ Grapples handle
irregularly shaped loads and
loose materials. They are an
essential tool for demolition,
sorting, and reprocessing work.
These grapples can be pinned on
or engaged with a pin grabber
coupler, and can be configured
to different linkages and different
linkage generations in the field.
Grapples are available for 307
through 385 size excavators
Sorting & Demolition Grapple
Demolition and sorting grapples
are heavy-duty units designed for
applications involving demolition
of non-concrete structures,
material handling/sorting at
recycling and waste transfer
facilities, site cleanup and
loading/sorting construction or
demolition debris.

Hydraulic Kits
Cat hydraulic kits are optimized for running Cat Work Tools on Cat
excavators. High pressure pulse welded tubing joints assure hydraulics
will hold up in tough applications. Caterpillar® hydraulic components
are proven to handle the high pressures and flows required for rugged
applications. Together Cat Hydraulics, Cat Work Tools and Cat Excavators
make a complete system solution.
