Since 1978, Three Generations Deep: Meet Pemberton Attachments
Pemberton builds specialty attachments for loaders, excavators, material handlers, and skid steers out of Longwood, Florida. A family-owned manufacturer that started with trailer ramps and grew into a full line of buckets, grapples, thumbs, couplers, and more.
If you work in demolition, recycling, waste handling, logging, or site prep, you already know that a standard bucket doesn't always cut it. The jobs are specialized, the materials are punishing, and the attachment has to be built for the work. That is the gap Pemberton has been filling for more than four decades.
From Trailer Ramps to Specialty Attachments
Pemberton was founded in 1978 by brothers Todd and Bruce Pemberton. The company's first product was a hydraulic loading ramp for trailers, called the "Powerskid," sold to customers around central Florida. Over time, the business moved into specialty attachments for loaders, excavators, dozers, and other equipment, and that is what Pemberton is known for today.
The company is still family owned. It is now in its third generation, with the founders' sons helping manage the business.
Built in a 100,000 Sq. Ft. Florida Facility
Pemberton operates out of Longwood, Florida, in a 100,000-square-foot facility with CNC parts processing and computerized machining centers. Its customers include equipment dealers, contractors, recyclers, municipalities, and other end users. The company says its focus is quality products, on-time delivery, competitive prices, and customer service.
A Lineup Organized Around the Work
One thing that stands out about Pemberton is how its catalog is organized. You can find products three ways:
By machine
- Excavator
- Wheel loader
- Material handler
- Skid steer
By application
- Auto recycle
- Logging
- Recycle and scrap
- Waste handling
- Construction
- Pipeline
- Site prep
- Demolition
- Port and waterway
- Storm cleanup
- Matting
By type
- Buckets
- Grapples
- Thumbs
- Couplers
- Rakes
- Forks
- Shears
If you know the job but not the product, that application-first approach is a real time saver.
Featured Products
Pemberton's current featured lineup includes:
- Refuse buckets for loaders, built for waste handling work
- Demo buckets, for demolition
- General material grapples
- BFI bucket forks
- Custom engineering, for jobs that don't fit a catalog
The company also publishes product flyers for waste loader buckets, rakes, forestry grapples, compact excavator attachments, rotating attachments, and construction and demolition equipment, plus excavator and wheel loader classification charts to help match an attachment to a machine.
Active in the Industry
Pemberton lists memberships in AEM, the National Demolition Association, ARA, C&D Recycling, Environmentalists Every Day, ISRI, and SWANA. That is a good sign of where the company works: demolition, recycling, scrap, and waste.
Why It Matters for Buyers and Sellers
For buyers, a manufacturer that organizes its catalog by job, publishes classification charts, and offers custom engineering makes it easier to get the right fit the first time. For dealers, a long-established family manufacturer with a deep specialty lineup is a useful supplier to know.
Pemberton calls itself the "#1 in quality attachments." That is the company's own claim, and the best way to judge it is to look at the product, ask for specs, and talk to the people who build it.
