RIC Attachment Selection Guide

RIC attachment guide

Use this guide to make the project discussion more precise.

RIC attachments for excavators or wheel loaders should be selected around carrier capability, hydraulic interface, reach, work-zone and project controls.

This guide helps a buyer ask the right compatibility questions before requesting a quote.

RIC Attachment Selection Guide

Guide contents

Questions a technical buyer should resolve before selection.

01

Carrier fit

Identify the excavator or wheel loader model, hydraulic configuration and available mounting interface.

02

Work zone

Define treatment area, grid or work pattern, access, reach and exclusion space.

03

Operating controls

Confirm supervision, safety controls and project-specific work sequence before mobilisation.

04

Verification

Use the project acceptance route to determine the required inspection, testing or records.

CMG technical resource and equipment selection guide

Evidence boundary

A useful guide is clear about what it does not prove.

CMG uses this resource to organise a project conversation. It does not replace site investigation, geotechnical design, equipment documentation or the project acceptance specification.

  • Do not select an attachment by energy label alone.
  • Do not assume one attachment fits all carrier machines.
  • Keep process records separate from acceptance evidence.

Buyer checklist

Prepare these inputs before sending an RFQ.

  1. Carrier make and model
  2. Mounting and hydraulic requirements
  3. Work area and access constraints
  4. Material condition and treatment objective
  5. Acceptance and delivery requirements

Decision record

Turn the research question into a reviewable equipment brief.

Use the following record as a handover between procurement, site engineering and the equipment supplier. Empty fields are signals to investigate, not assumptions to fill with a generic machine claim.

01

Inputs to evidence

  • Carrier make and model
  • Mounting and hydraulic requirements
  • Work area and access constraints
  • Material condition and treatment objective
02

Decision to make

  • Carrier fit
  • Work zone
  • Operating controls
03

Documents to request

  • Source-matched model specification and configuration
  • Operating and maintenance guidance for the quoted scope
  • Project-specific verification and handover requirements

Resource FAQ

Further questions for the project team.

Which carriers can use a RIC attachment?

Carrier compatibility must be reviewed for the specific machine and project.

What is the first RIC attachment input?

Carrier model, hydraulic interface, work area, access and treatment objective.

Can a RIC attachment work in confined areas?

It may be assessed where access is constrained, but safe operating space and reach must be confirmed.

How is the work verified?

Through the project-defined inspection or testing route.
