Skeer System Grading Attachments

These grading attachments hold a true flat plane rather than following the machine, which is the difference between a surface that looks level and one that actually is. The blade rides on its own reference frame, so dips the loader drives through do not transfer into the cut. That makes them the tool for pads, slabs, and any surface where the finish is measured rather than eyeballed. The range runs from a straightforward grading beam through tilt-plate blades to machine control ready models that accept 2D and 3D guidance. Excavator mounted beams cover work a loader cannot reach. For bulk cutting before the finish pass, a box blade moves material first

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a grading attachment different from a box blade?

A box blade is fixed to the loader arms, so it follows every rise and dip the machine drives through and reproduces them in the surface. A grading attachment
references its own frame, which holds the cutting edge on a consistent plane regardless of what the machine is doing. For moving material a box blade is efficient; for a finished flat surface the grading attachment is the tool.

What does machine control ready mean?

It means the attachment is built to accept 2D or 3D guidance hardware, so a laser or GPS system can control blade elevation automatically rather than relying on the operator's eye. That removes most of the skill gap on precision work and makes a consistent result repeatable across operators. The attachment can be run manually first and upgraded later.

What is a tilt plate for?

A tilt plate lets you angle the blade relative to the machine, which is how you cut a slope, a crown, or a drainage fall rather than a dead flat plane. Most finished
surfaces need some fall to shed water, so the ability to set and hold a consistent angle matters more than it first appears. Without it you are limited to level work.

Do I need machine control to get a flat surface?

No. The attachment's reference frame does the important work on its own, and a competent operator will produce a genuinely flat pad manually. Machine control adds speed, consistency between operators, and the ability to hit a specified elevation rather than just a flat plane. Whether that is worth the cost depends on how often you work to a spec.

Can these be used on an excavator?

Yes. A grading beam version mounts to an excavator and covers work a loader cannot reach, such as grading inside a trench, along a bank, or under an obstruction. The principle is the same, with the beam providing the reference plane. Tell us your machine model and coupler type and we will confirm which version fits.
