A dedicated lifting eye attachment (100) for an excavator (10), which has a main body (101) comprising a set of substantially parallel bars or tubes (112) that enable it to be detachably engaged with the claws (52) of a quick coupler-type device (50) mounted to the end of the excavator arm (20). The main body (101) also comprises a lifting eye (102) or D-ring (114) which is used in lieu of a lifting eye (56) forming part of the quick coupler-type connector (50). The configuration of the lifting eye attachment (100) places the lifting eye (102) or D-ring (114) in the line-of-sight (34) of an operator of the excavator (10), helps to ensure that the excavator (10) is kept within its load limits, reduces or avoids fouling of lifting stops/chains (16) with the quick coupler-type connector (50) and helps to avoid unsafe working practices.
