Shipping & Freight

For an order containing products from a single brand, shipping is a flat rate based on your order total:

  • Orders up to $5,000: $279
  • Orders $5,000 to $10,000: $347
  • Orders $10,000 and over: $517

These rates cover standard freight delivery to a commercial address. After you place your order, our team will confirm your delivery timeline within 1 to 3 business days.

Ordering from more than one brand? Multi-brand orders ship on separate freight and are quoted individually rather than at the flat rate above. Place your order or contact us first and we will confirm total freight before anything is finalized.

Liftgate service is not included in these rates. If your delivery location has no loading dock or forklift to unload the freight from the truck, liftgate service is required and will be added to your shipping charge. If you are unsure whether you need it, contact us before ordering.

Commercial delivery locations are preferred when available. Residential delivery, limited-access locations, and appointment scheduling may affect handling.

Lead times vary by product, manufacturer availability, and selected options. Some configured, special-order, or non-stock items require additional processing time before they ship.

Please inspect all freight shipments at delivery before signing. If you see visible damage, note it with the carrier and contact us as soon as possible.

If you need freight, delivery, or lead-time guidance before ordering, contact our team before you purchase.

Compatibility / Fitment

Compatibility varies by product type, machine setup, selected options, and intended application.

For machine-mounted equipment and attachments, buyers should confirm fitment before ordering using the relevant machine information, including model, attachment style, mount type, coupler type, hydraulic requirements, and any other product-specific requirements listed on the page.

Hardscape Heavy can assist with pre-order fitment guidance based on the information you provide. This guidance is limited to purchase and compatibility review before ordering and does not include field installation, hydraulic modification, fabrication, or on-site setup support.

If you are unsure whether a product will work with your machine or application, contact us before placing the order.

Returns & Warranty

Warranty coverage is provided by the product manufacturer where applicable. Warranty terms, coverage periods, exclusions, and claim procedures vary by brand and product type.

Hardscape Heavy does not create separate warranty coverage beyond the manufacturer’s warranty unless explicitly stated on the product page.

Returns are governed by our store return policy. Because many products in this category involve freight shipping, special ordering, or configuration-specific selections, return eligibility may vary by product and condition. Special-order, custom-configured, used, damaged, or installed items may not be eligible for return.

Please review our full return policy before purchase. If you have questions about return eligibility or manufacturer warranty coverage for a specific item, contact us before ordering.

The Glacier Backhoe Attachment digs holes and trenches from a skid steer or compact track loader, reaching 8.5 ft down on a fixed boom. It also handles the pick-and-place work a crew runs into on the same site: cherry-picking logs and timber, pulling small trees, and clearing what a bucket cannot reach. It is built for sitework and utility crews who need trenching reach without bringing a second machine to the job.

The arm carries a 1/2 in quick plate into 3/8 in quick-attach sides and reinforcement, so the digging loads feed back through the mount rather than the plate alone. A large-bore cylinder drives the dig, and the teeth are replaceable pin-on units that come off in the field as they wear. A removable heavy-duty thumb adjusts on two 1 in steel pins for gripping material against the bucket. This is for the contractor who digs, trenches, and picks material on the same site and wants one carrier doing all three.

Common Applications

  • Digging holes and trenching on sitework
  • Cherry-picking logs and timber
  • Removing small trees and stubborn material

Selection Notes

  • Fixed-boom design; the arm is priced and shipped without a bucket
  • Buckets are ordered separately and are not a variant of this attachment
  • Replaceable pin-on teeth are serviced in the field
  • Confirm whether the removable thumb ships with the arm before ordering
  • Runs off the carrier's auxiliary hydraulics; confirm flow, pressure, and coupler face with supplier
