PRODUCT FOCUS
Attachments are key tools for plant and equipment managers to get the most out of their machines. Attachments
eliminate the need to purchase additional equipment at high capital cost, with the added advantage of making fleets
more versatile. In this month’s product feature, we ask a few suppliers to tell us more about their attachments.

key component to succeed with
any fleet of equipment, whether
heavy or compact, is getting the
most out of your machines. According to
Tom Bloom, GM Construction at Smith
Power Equipment, attachments expand
a company’s assets from one-dimensional
pieces of equipment into multipurpose and
adaptable machines, whether you have a
mixture of excavators, skid steer loaders,
telehandlers or TLBs.
To remain competitive in today’s
challenging economic environment,
equipment owners are looking beyond the
basics. They are looking at how their fleets
of excavators, skid steers, backhoe loaders,
among other tool carriers, can squeeze
more margins and volumes, and a strong
attachment focus is gaining momentum.
Attachments are key to equipment
versatility and utilisation.
With that in mind, in late 2017, Smith
Power acquired the southern African
distribution rights for Cangini’s range
of attachments. Cangini is an Italian-
based manufacturer of a wide range of
attachments. There has been a significant
uptake of the attachment range thus far,
says Bloom. He adds that most of the
units have been sold to owners of compact
excavators, TLBs and skid steers. “We
have seen a big demand for the Cangini
mulchers, quick hitches, augers and racks,”
he says.
The range is extensive and includes the
4-in-1 bucket for excavators; AR fast lock;
auger; broom sweeper for excavators;
CR twin lock; Twist 180°; extension arm;
jointed brush; mixing bucket safe discharge
for excavators; mulcher; multi-screening
bucket; pallet fork for excavators; screening
bucket; sharp-cut branch cutter bar; single-
force & multi-force rippers; sorting grapple;
and wood grabs.
