What Exac-One does
Exac-One Ltd is a UK-based excavator attachment specialist, founded in 2003 by Doug Guest and Andrew Harker and operating from Upton on Severn, Worcestershire with 1–10 employees. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes a proprietary portfolio of hydraulic excavator attachments — most notably the TreeMaster range of modular tree shears and grapple saws, Grab-n-Drive post drivers, Power-Wrist tilting couplers, Exac Mini/Midi Hammers, mowers and mulchers across mini/midi/maxi classes, plus complementary grabs, grapples, screening buckets, mixer buckets, and slew drives — alongside its exclusive UK and North America dealership for Euromach spider/walking excavators (1,900 kg to 17.5 tonne models), a relationship originating in 1993 and built on over 30 years of specialist experience.
The underlying technology centres on heavy-equipment hydraulic systems and high-grade steel fabrication (Strenx 700, Weldox 700, Hardox 400) using modular mechanical architectures such as the TreeMaster MS semi quick-coupling system, the Black Splitter rotating cone, and integrated low-profile coupler designs. Products are built or sourced in the UK and Europe (Italy, Germany) and span excavators from 0.7 tonnes to 40+ tonnes across forestry/arboriculture, construction/civil engineering, plant hire, and government forestry applications.
The business model is overwhelmingly transactional — one-time sales of new attachments, spider excavators, and used equipment — supplemented by a recurring-services layer via the Get Attached purchase/exchange programme (guaranteed trade-in values over 3–5 years tied to annual servicing at Exac-One) and customer financing brokered through MAF Finance Group. Go-to-market combines direct UK sales (phone, email, website) with an expanding international dealer network spanning 14+ countries across Europe, North America, Asia, and Oceania; the company is actively recruiting additional dealers globally. Pricing spans £200 for small earth augers to £190,000+ for complete spider excavator systems. The company is privately held by its founders with no disclosed external funding, subsidiaries, or M&A activity.
