Our 3-Tonne Excavator And Attachments

TL Contracting's 3-ton excavator is equipped with a versatile range of specialised attachments, allowing us to tackle a variety of excavation and earthmoving projects. From driveway repairs and precision trenching to auger drilling, land clearing, material handling and site preparation, we have the equipment to adapt to your project's requirements.

We undertake residential, rural and commercial work throughout Hamilton and the wider Waikato, providing practical excavation solutions and quality workmanship across a wide range of smaller earthworks projects.

Available attachments include:

1.7m Level Bar

Driveway repairs, aggregate spreading and grading

The 1.7-metre level bar is ideal for driveway repairs, spreading aggregate and general grading and finishing work. Its width extends beyond the excavator tracks, allowing material to be spread evenly and ground contours to be shaped with a smooth, consistent finish.

3m Level Bar

Topsoil spreading and precision ground levelling

Our 3-metre level bar is ideal for spreading loose topsoil, levelling larger areas and achieving a smooth, even ground finish. Its extended width allows larger areas to be levelled in fewer passes, helping achieve consistent contours before final tracking and finishing.

Grab Bucket

Tree removal, concrete handling and material handling

The grab bucket is a versatile attachment for gripping, lifting, sorting and removing bulky materials. Particularly useful for tree work, vegetation removal and concrete demolition, it allows heavy or awkward materials to be handled efficiently without excessive manual lifting.

Excavator Forks

Pallet handling and bulk vegetation removal

Our excavator forks are designed for lifting and moving palletised materials, including concrete products, around the worksite. They are also particularly effective for collecting and moving larger volumes of felled trees, branches and vegetation following clearing work.

Excavator Ripper

Concrete breaking, root removal and hard ground excavation

The excavator ripper is designed for breaking into tough materials and tackling demanding excavation jobs. Its hooked, serrated design concentrates the excavator's digging force, making it ideal for ripping up concrete, removing stubborn tree roots and breaking through compacted or difficult ground.

Auger System

Post-hole drilling and ground augering

The auger system allows efficient drilling of holes for fencing, posts and other ground installation requirements. It's a useful attachment for rural, residential and landscaping projects where accurate and consistent hole placement is required.

1.2 Metre Weed Bucket

Bulk material handling and vegetation removal

Our 1.2-metre weed bucket is ideal for shifting larger volumes of loose material, including topsoil, vegetation and cleared organic material. Its wide design allows more material to be moved with each pass, making it particularly useful for bulk clearing, topsoiling and general material handling.

600 mm Trenching Bucket

Drainage trenching and flat-bottom excavation

The 600 mm trenching bucket features a flat cutting edge designed to produce clean, square-sided trenches with a flat bottom. Ideal for drainage installations and water services, it allows accurate trench excavation and controlled grading to achieve the required levels and fall.

450 mm Rock Bucket

Hard ground excavation and rocky material removal

Fitted with digging teeth, the 450 mm rock bucket is designed to break into tougher ground conditions, including hard clay, compacted soil and rocky material. The teeth help penetrate and loosen difficult ground before excavating and removing the material.

200 mm Digging Bucket

Narrow trenching and precision excavation

The 200 mm digging bucket is designed for narrow trenching where precision and minimal ground disturbance are important. Suitable for smaller drainage lines, electrical cables, communications services and other underground installations where the trench width allows.

Why Choose TL Contracting?

We Plan Before We Dig

Before arriving on site, we take the time to understand the job, assess the requirements and plan how the work will be carried out. We think ahead, consider different approaches and prepare for changing site conditions to help keep projects running smoothly and efficiently.

Clear Communication From the Start

We make sure everyone understands what needs to be achieved before work begins. Whether it's discussing levels, spoil placement, access or ground shaping, we take the time to walk through the job with you so we're working towards the same outcome.

Pride in the Finished Result

We take genuine pride in our workmanship and don't believe in cutting corners. We pay attention to the details and aim to leave every job to a standard we're happy to put our name to.

Hands-On, Practical Workmanship

We're not afraid to get out of the machine and put in the hard yards when needed. From groundwork and fencing to material handling and finishing touches, we take a hands-on approach and focus on what the job actually needs to get it done properly.
