Big news for those who live and work in the dirt. As of 2024, Daniel Manufacturing has officially transitioned into OMNI Attachments, marking a fresh chapter built on the same grit and engineering that defined the original brand. If you’ve depended on high-performance skid steer attachments like The Beak or Monkey Fist, rest easy — nothing’s being left behind.
Instead, this transition brings leaner manufacturing, new leadership energy, and a stronger push for innovation. It’s the same great tools with a name that better reflects where things are headed.
From Daniel Manufacturing to OMNI Attachments
There’s a deep legacy here — one built over decades of real-world use, job site trust, and rock-solid tools.
Our Founders: Tim, Lou & Harley Daniel
Back when Daniel Manufacturing was just an idea, Tim and Lou Daniel were already thinking bigger. Along with Harley Daniel, they didn’t just make tools — they built solutions for working pros. From farm fields to demolition sites, their gear earned a reputation for rugged durability and no-nonsense performance.
This foundation — real people building tools for real work — is what helped Daniel become a trusted name in skid steer attachments.
2024 Transition: Harley Daniel & Kent Berg
In 2024, Harley Daniel teamed up with Kent Berg, a longtime force in smart manufacturing, to evolve the brand. The result? OMNI Attachments — a new name that honors the past while paving the way for faster production, improved logistics, and long-term growth.
It’s not a buyout or a corporate takeover. It’s a collaboration — one that strengthens everything Daniel built and makes it even more efficient and forward-looking.
What Stays the Same?
Even with a new name, the core values haven’t changed. And for the people using these tools every day, that’s what matters most.
High-Quality Skid Steer Attachments
This isn’t mass-market machinery. Every attachment is still designed to do hard work in harsh conditions. Whether you’re moving brush, digging, grappling, or lifting, OMNI’s line of skid steer attachments continues to deliver the performance and toughness crews expect.
Built with premium materials and job-tested by the same folks who use them, these tools don’t cut corners — and never will.
Flagship Tools Like The Beak and Monkey Fist
You’ll still find favorites like The Beak, known for its precise grappling power, and the Monkey Fist, which has transformed concrete slab lifting into a faster, cleaner job. Both are signature tools that reflect everything Daniel Manufacturing stood for — durability, ease of use, and innovation where it counts.
What’s New at OMNI?
Change doesn’t mean compromise. In fact, it means more opportunities to improve what already works.
Lean Manufacturing with Kent & Lisa Berg
With Kent and Lisa Berg stepping in, the shop is running leaner, faster, and smarter. That means shorter lead times, better consistency, and more availability for the attachments contractors need. But it’s not automation for automation’s sake — it’s a carefully managed shift that respects the hands-on quality approach customers are used to.
OMNI’s move toward lean processes means you get your tools faster, without giving up the hand-built feel or attention to detail.
Expanded Innovation for Industry Pros
New tooling, new designs, and more field testing are part of the plan moving forward. With customer feedback driving improvements, OMNI Attachments is focusing on real-life productivity, not just specs on paper.
Expect new ideas, smarter attachments, and upgrades to existing models — all based on how people actually work.
Looking Ahead: What to Expect from OMNI Attachments
So, what’s next? The team at OMNI Attachments is just getting started. The same quality skid steer attachments, the same industry-trusted tools, and now, a renewed focus on smart manufacturing, product refinement, and long-term reliability.
If you’ve been with Daniel Manufacturing from the start, you’ll feel right at home here. And if you’re new to the brand, you’re in for some of the toughest, best-built attachments on the market.
