Attachment showcase 2019 DI GGA N O RT H AM ERICA Digga manufactures a wide range of construction-grade machinery attachments such as auger drives, trenchers, auger bits, sweepers and pallet forks for skid steer loaders, tractors, excavators, mini loaders and telehandlers – all supported by its North American facility in Dyersville, Iowa. Headquartered in Australia, with another facility in the UK, as well as 38 years of manufacturing experience, in-house engineering, production and the latest manufacturing equipment, Digga’s products excel in their quality, durability and performance. In January, Digga North America launched new sweeper attachments in two variations: angle broom and bucket broom. They have been designed and manufactured for industrial, municipal or road construction purposes. They are easy to attach and ideal for sweeping job sites of dirt and debris as well as snow. Both brooms feature a direct motor drive and an easy-change brush core, allowing for simple operation and maintenance. The units were specifically designed to provide a quick return on investment for the rental industry due to high product reliability, fast shipment and easy maintenance. The Digga Sweeper Angle Broom features 72”, 84” and 96” widths with a poly or poly-wire brush system and manual or hydraulic 30-degree right and left angles. The floating design allows for ease of use in undulating conditions, with an optional heavy-duty front caster for better brush wear control. The Digga Sweeper Bucket Broom features 60”, 72” and 84” widths with a poly or poly-wire brush system. A replaceable cutting edge helps cut loose caked-on mud, while the sweeper’s bristles deposit dirt and debris over the brush inside the container, which can be dumped when full. The broom is typically used while driving forward for increased operational safety and comes with an optional side gutter broom and water spray system for dust mitigation. ESCO excavator buckets can be ordered with a matched thumb in either hydraulic or rigid style. Our thumbs are precision-made with premium grade T-1 plate in all critical components to provide excellent performance and durability. All ESCO hydraulic thumbs come with full hardware kits for installation. The advanced PosiGrab® hydraulic coupler was developed to increase productivity and optimize site safety. Our coupler is a top choice for construction professionals. Precision-manufactured to exacting standards, our coupler is engineered to reduce stress points for improved machine performance. The PosiGrab coupler will pick up attachments in the same machine weight class for increased machine versatility. The unique coupler design features mechanically engaged locks in both the front and rear of the coupler that remain locked independently through the full working cycle. The natural position is locked; it only opens using forced hydraulic pressure. All attachment pick-up and release actions are done without leaving the safety of the cab, including visual confirmation that the front and rear locking mechanisms are properly engaged.
