Masterhitch Europe Ltd – The Bespoke Root Plate Attachment

Here at Masterhitch Europe Ltd, not only do we specialise in creating the best digger buckets and attachments, we also get involved in plenty of bespoke projects. Our latest project is courtesy of Ruskins Ltd. When they approached us to design and make a root attachment plate for an excavator, we couldn’t wait to get started!

OUR LATEST  BESPOKE PROJECT IS NOW UNDERWAY…

Currently on the market, companies can purchase rake attachments, which essentially do the opposite of the root plate attachment. Most landscaping projects need digger attachments to easily remove the roots of old trees, bushes and overgrown areas, so the bespoke project we had on our hands was incredibly exciting.

When Ruskins Ltd approached us to design and manufacture a bespoke attachment, how could we say no!

What is a Root Plate Attachment, and what does it do?

We have worked closely with the team at Ruskins to manufacture three root plate attachments, which will be used to remove and relocate shrubbery. In this case, they are looking to move a large hedgerow. 

Using a Komatsu PC210 excavator with the equipped root plate attachment, the hedge will be cut into sections. Acting as a large spade, the root plate attachment will then dig deep below the root system. Both lifting the root system as well as the hedge, and transplanting it to another area effortlessly. 

As the root attachment plate is made with British Standard Steel and the main areas have been reinforced, it will be durable and strong enough to withstand even the heaviest and most difficult of hedgerows.

Below are a few of the before photos, check back soon for the final, finished product!
