Skid Steer Loader Attachment Selection Guide

Skid-steer loader attachments explained: buckets, forks, augers, grapples, breakers and sweepers — what each does, hydraulic flow needs and how to match them.

Skid Steer Loader Attachment Selection Guide

A skid-steer loader becomes several machines through its attachments. Buckets move soil and aggregate; pallet forks lift palletised loads; augers drill post and tree holes; grapples handle brush and rock; breakers demolish; sweepers clear yards and roads. The key is the quick-attach plate and hydraulic flow — high-flow attachments like planers and mulchers need the larger circuit. This guide matches attachments to jobs and to flow. HONGLI loaders run a universal quick-attach plate, with high-flow hydraulics up to 140 L/min on the larger models.

FAQ

What attachments fit a skid-steer?

Buckets, pallet forks, augers, grapples, breakers, sweepers, planers and mulchers all fit a skid-steer loader through its quick-attach plate. Buckets and forks cover daily loading and lifting; the rest add digging, demolition and clearing as the job needs.

What is high-flow, and which attachments need it?

High-flow is a larger hydraulic circuit that drives attachments needing more oil than a standard auxiliary line — planers, mulchers and large cold planers. Buckets, forks, augers and most grapples run on standard flow.

Is the quick-attach universal?

HONGLI loaders use a universal quick-attach plate, so standard skid-steer attachments mount without modification. Confirm the plate pattern and the flow rating with us before ordering a high-flow tool.

Which HONGLI loaders offer high-flow?

The larger HONGLI skid-steer models offer high-flow hydraulics up to 140 L/min, enough for planers and mulchers. Tell us the attachment you plan to run and we match it to a model and flow rating.
