Our Specialist Equipment
Why choose Kocurek
Precision Engineering from Concept to Completion
Behind every Kocurek machine is a complete engineering process shaped by experience, technical knowledge and practical understanding of how specialist excavators perform in the real world. Our in-house facilities allow us to design, manufacture and modify equipment with complete control over quality, compatibility and durability.
From specialist front end equipment and base machine modifications to large-scale bespoke builds, our engineering team works with a wide range of OEM base machines, makes and models including global indstry leaders. This flexibility allows us to develop solutions that are not simply adapted to fit, but engineered around the machine, the application and the working environment.
With advanced equipment including plasma cutting, oxy fuel cutting, CNC machining, induction hardening, fabrication and welding facilities, Kocurek has the capability to manage complex projects at scale. Every component, process and detail is approached with the same focus: delivering reliable, high-performance equipment built to meet the demands of specialist excavation, demolition, long reach and material handling applications.
In-House Design and Manufacturing
Our facilities bring equipment design, cutting, machining, fabrication and assembly together at one site. This allows our teams to work closely throughout production and maintain oversight of component quality and fit.
Equipment Built Around the Application
Required reach, digging depth, attachment weight and operating conditions all influence the design. We assess these factors to develop equipment suited to the task, rather than relying on a standard configuration.
Engineering Compatible with Any OEM Make or Model
Kocurek works with a wide range of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) excavators. Each project is assessed around the individual machine, including its existing structure, equipment and proposed modifications.
Specialist Component Manufacturing
CNC machining and induction hardening support the production of components used within our excavator equipment. These capabilities allow us to manufacture parts to specific design requirements and control key stages of their production.
Engineering for Complex Excavator Projects
Specialist excavator conversions involve more than extending a boom or fitting an attachment. Changes to reach, equipment weight or cab position can affect other parts of the machine and need to be considered together.
Kocurek assesses the relationship between the base machine, front-end equipment, hydraulics, attachment and intended working conditions. This informs the proposed design and helps identify the supporting modifications required.
Whether you need a bespoke component, modified equipment or a more extensive conversion, our team can review the technical requirements and explain the available options.
