Rhino Tool Company Launches New Construction Equipment Attachments Division

Rhino Tool Company has announced the launch of its new construction equipment attachments (CEA) division, following the success of its Solar Pro and Guardrail Pro attachments. This move aims to focus on the development of machine-mounted attachments, driven by customer demand for equipment that can handle larger posts and piles.

The new CEA division will operate from a newly established fabrication facility in Kewanee, Illinois, responding to the growing market for Rhino's advanced attachments. The Solar Pro and Guardrail Pro are designed to enhance the efficiency of installing solar panel supports and highway guardrail posts. These attachments feature a powerful 800 ft. lb. hydraulic hammer and offer unmatched product support, with shorter lead times due to their domestic manufacturing.

Unlike self-propelled pile drivers, Rhino’s attachments use a universal skid-steer mounting plate, making them lighter and easier to maneuver. Custom mounting plates are available to ensure compatibility with various skid steer models.

“The construction equipment attachment division steps Rhino out of the handheld tool market, into machine mounted units for larger and tougher installations. Customers needed a professional grade post driver attachment system they could utilize on a skid steer or other equipment they already own, as opposed to purchasing a self-propelled piece of equipment dedicated to just one task. The increased speed and maneuverability, from post to post, and to adjacent jobsites, plus the versatility of the attachments, keeps installers productive and efficient.  Also, investment in a few base machines, and then acquiring attachments as needed, reduces the cost when remediation work is necessary on the jobsite,” Steve Orrick, sales manager at Rhino Tool, said.
