We mount the excavator hydraulic grab, a versatile tool, on excavators. Powered by hydraulics, we utilize it to handle bulk materials, process rock, dredge, and perform excavation tasks. Moreover, this equipment is widely used in construction, waste management, forestry, and agriculture. As a result, it significantly enhances operational efficiency and flexibility. There are various types of grabs, and this article briefly introduces several popular models from YG, such as level-cut clamshell grabs, log/timber grabs, and orange peel grabs. For more information about these machines, please get in touch with us immediately!
Hydraulic Level-Cut Clamshell Grabs
The primary function of a clamshell bucket is to efficiently and conveniently grab, move, and load/unload various loose materials. It is suitable for specific vertical digging and cleaning/dredging scenarios.
Hydraulic Orange Peel Grabs
We use an orange peel grab, sometimes called a cactus grab, to handle materials that are too large or require better penetration than a clamshell grab can provide. The weight and design of orange peel grabs depend on the specific materials we manage.
Hydraulic Log / Timber Grabs
We design hydraulic log/timber grabs to load and unload multiple small logs or a single large log. Their primary function is to load, unload, and handle wood, timber, reeds, straw, and various strip materials. There are two types of wood grabs. Mechanical wood grabs are a cost-effective option that can be used without modifying the excavator’s pipelines and hydraulic systems. Rotary wood grabs, on the other hand, offer 360-degree rotation for added convenience and practicality but require changes to the excavator’s pipelines and hydraulic systems, making them more expensive.
