Quick Answer

For scrap handling, choose tine count and grapple capacity according to material shape and density. Confirm rotation, hydraulic lines and excavator operating weight before ordering.

Grapple Selection Factors

Tine count

More tines suit loose scrap and mixed materials.

Capacity

Bucket volume should match material density and excavator size.

Rotation

Hydraulic rotation improves sorting and loading efficiency.

Material type

Scrap, waste, stones and logs require different jaw shapes.

Hydraulic lines

Rotation and opening functions require proper piping.

Wear protection

High-wear materials need reinforced tine tips and structure.

Why Tine count Matters

More tines suit loose scrap and mixed materials. This point should be confirmed before production so the attachment can be matched to the real carrier and jobsite.

How to Check Capacity

Bucket volume should match material density and excavator size. Clear photos, machine information and simple notes make the matching process faster for overseas buyers.

Final Check Before Ordering

Confirm excavator model, operating weight, attachment configuration, hydraulic requirement, dimensions if available, quantity and destination before placing the order.
