French term or phrase: L'ensemble de la tête de creusage
Hello!

I can't seem to find the equivalent of the phrase "l'ensemble de la tête de creusage" in English anywhere. It's to do with construction equipment, I presume a digger, but the only thing related to "tête de creusage" that I can find online is to do with a child's digger toy! I'm afraid that's all the context I have! Thanks in advance for your help!

Explanation:
Within CAT's 'attachment' category we find listed a range of buckets for excavating (which seems to be a useful hyperonym to encompass digging, trenching and whatever other digging around you may wish to do).

Interesting to note that this 'attachment' category includes 'thumbs', which enable loads to be handled with greater 'dexterity'. So best avoid anything based on 'head' as the English metaphors are in a different part of the body.
