“Doherty is clearly known for the quality and innovation of their attachments. We notice how much our customers respect that quality, and the pairing of SANY and Doherty bring a whole new level of safety and reliability.”
Andy Hopcroft, General Manager of Yello Equipment
“With the perfect record we’ve had with our Doherty attachments, we plan to continue using them in the future.”
Ken Young, Director of Tracks Concrete
“I’ve cleaned up whole areas, removing all rubbish and obstacles from the comfort of my cab. The controls really are intuitive and are exactly where you would want them.”
Rhys Cooper, Director of Cooper Civil
“Doherty tilt hitches have helped on our earthworks projects for batters and final trimming the site. They’ve also been fundamental on our drainage projects for trenching and backfilling and are now fitted on several machines and used across multiple projects.”
Cody Pepere, Director of Multi Civil Contractors Limited
“We bought our first Doherty bucket in 2018 for a Hitachi 35-tonne digger. It seemed unique in its design for a large machine — deep to keep the capacity high but also narrow to ensure breakout force was not compromised. The quality of the service was also something that I won’t forget.”
Chad Empson, Director of P3 Earthworks
“I knew Doherty had a good name. My previous employer always had tilt buckets. The main advantage of it comes when you’re interchanging buckets. If I’m placing rocks and need to backfill, I can just dig and not worry about taking the hoses off when I need to change the mud bucket. I can just put it on backwards. You do that a fair bit, filling behind rock walls.”
Khan Archbold, Owner of K.V.A Excavations
“We’re able to dig around live services with confidence and precision because of the smoothness in control we have from the D-Lock hitch to joystick. Occasionally we have to use other subcontractor machines that use different hitches, and my guys just can’t wait to get back on our tools.”
Mitchell Stokoe, Managing Director of Slimline Excavations
“I’ve used Doherty since 2017, when my new excavator came with a D-Lock Tilt. We stick with them because of the build quality and great customer support – when a new machine arrives with a Doherty hitch or bucket on it, the boys froth over it!”
Josh Simpson, Director of SB Civil Limited
“I’ve never used a machine without a Doherty hitch of some sort. It’s not until you’re sitting in the cab, that you really appreciate the increased versatility of my machine. It’s really opened new avenues for my business. Combining the D-Lock hitch with the NOX has been an absolute game-changer. I’m doing the same amount of work in a fraction of the time; I can’t imagine using anything else on my machines.”
Wyatt Bartram, Owner/Director of Wyatt Bartram Excavations
“The new safety legislation in New Zealand and Australia has been an excellent step forward for us all, but I also prefer the Doherty Tilt Bucket because of its solid construction and design integrity. It has a good range of tilt which allows you to cut a half to one batter at full tilt.”
Shane Brownell, Owner/Operator of Brownell Earthmoving
