Attachments for heavy equipment in Canada: what they cost

Updated 5 November 2026

In Canada, attachments for heavy equipment usually cost from about CA$190 for clamp-on forks to about CA$5,000 for a rotary broom or an excavator rake, and a mechanical grapple for a 40 to 49 tonne excavator is listed at CA$35,000. These are approximate prices, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. For a price that fits your machine and your city, write a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Local rules and what to check

Workplace safety rules in Canada apply to attachments used with powered mobile equipment. British Columbia's rules set minimum requirements for guards on the front, side and rear windows of mobile equipment, and New Brunswick's guide says such equipment must be operated only by qualified workers. Rules differ from province to province, so check the ones where the machine will work before you buy. Some manufacturers give a one-year warranty on construction equipment, so ask the seller to put the attachment's warranty in writing.

Winter season in Canada

Winter here runs from December to February. In Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Calgary the ground is often frozen or under snow then, so earthworks slow down or stop. November is a good month to plan: order early enough to have the attachment before the coldest weeks, and check that the seller can deliver on the date you need. Vancouver has a milder winter, so work there may continue for longer.

How attachments are bought here

Listings give capacity in pounds and widths in inches, so ask sellers for kilograms and millimetres before you compare prices. Clamp-on forks are sold for particular bucket widths, such as 42, 48 or 60 inches. Skid steer attachments must match your machine's attachment system, and tractor implements must match the three-point hitch, which is often Category 1. Ask whether delivery between your city and the seller's city is included, and whether the quote includes sales tax.

What to write in your request

Say which machine the attachment is for, the bucket width in millimetres, and the lifting capacity you need in kilograms. Add whether you want to buy or rent, your delivery city (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary or Ottawa), your budget, and whether you accept used equipment. A photo of your machine's coupler or bucket helps sellers confirm the fit before they quote.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe the attachment and your machine in your own words in a chat, and the AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Canada, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide with whom to share them. For the machines themselves, see heavy equipment or excavators.
