What is Kustom Konnect?
Since 2016, Wheatway Solutions Limited have been designing and manufacturing bespoke head plates and interfaces for a wide variety of carriers and attachments, under their Kustom Konnect brand. This enables Wheatway Solutions to provide customers purchasing Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems, with a complete package. A market-leading screening bucket and a custom-made interface, designed specifically for their carriers of choice.
Hand Built in Great Britain

Just like their sister brand, Gyru-star, all Kustom Konnect products are designed and manufactured in Gloucestershire, in the United Kingdom. This is a testament to Wheatway Solutions’ turnkey manufacturing capability, which allows them to carry out all their research, development and manufacturing in-house.
Furthermore, this enables Wheatway to maintain strict quality control procedures, ensuring that customers receive dependable, high-quality products they can rely on.
The Design and Prototyping Process
Wheatway’s R&D team have over 100 years of combined experience, across the manufacturing and plant industries, making them well-placed to design and manufacture bespoke attachment solutions for Kustom Konnect customers.
With their CNC machining and fabrication workshops, Wheatway can rapidly design and prototype solutions, bespoke to each customer's individual needs. Throughout the process, they will continually liaise with customers and dealers to fully understand how the product will be used, and the demands which will be placed on it.
Recent Products
Innovation is at the heart of everything Wheatway do; and drives their approach to designing and developing new products. Whatever the need of the customer, Wheatway Solutions is able to engineer a bespoke, high-quality solution.
Here you can see a few recent examples of products Wheatway have produced under their Kustom Konnect brand:
Dual Interface for 6-8 ton Excavators
This head plate was built for a customer in the UK, who needed an interface for their Gyru-Star screening bucket, which was compatible with both a six and eight ton excavator. This design uses a sliding pin, which can be unbolted and quickly adjusted, depending on the carrier.

Dual Interface for Compact Loader, Excavator and Backhoe
Another unique and innovative product from Kustom Konnect. This bespoke interface was designed for a customer, who was looking for a dual compact loader/ excavator interface, for their Gyru-Star 3-120HE screening bucket. The customer wanted to use the bucket with three separate machines: a JCB 3CX backhoe loader, a Takeuchi TB260 6-ton excavator, and an Avant Compact Loader.

Weight Frame for Compact Loader
This weight frame was specially designed for a compact loader, allowing the operator to quickly and easily adjust the counterbalance weight. This particular design also incorporates a tow ball, ensuring that the compact loader's versatility is not compromised.

Three Point Linkage Adapter for Compact Loader
One of the more niche Kustom Konnect products is this interface for a Multi-One Compact Loader. This customer required an interface which would allow them to mount a solar panel cleaning brush to their compact loader. This was paired with the weight frame above, to ensure that the load was evenly spread, ensuring that the loader did not tip over.

Breaker Stand and Tool Brushing Kit.
Whilst not an interface, this product is an excellent example of Wheatway’s culture of innovation. Managing director, Colin Smith, identified a gap in the market for a universal stand for hammer attachments. This design features interchangeable plates, which can be changed depending on the size of the hammer shaft. Currently, the stand is available with brushing kits from 40-70mm.

Loader and Skid Steer Interfaces
Screening bucket interfaces are the bread and butter of the Kustom Konnect brand. However, they are not just limited to excavator head plates and interfaces. These interfaces are designed specifically for Gyru-Star loader (L) and skid steer Loader (SL) screening buckets.

These interfaces can be built to suit any type of compact loader, tractor or skid steer loader. This includes, but is not limited to, interfaces for:
Compact Loaders including:
Avant
Takeuchi
Compact-One
CASE
