Hydraulic Grapple
Excavator hydraulic grapple for scrap handling, demolition sorting, log handling, recycling and material loading work.
QUICK ANSWER
How to Match the Right Hydraulic Grapple
KRATOR hydraulic grapples are excavator-mounted material handling attachments used for scrap handling, demolition sorting, log handling, waste recycling, stone handling and material loading. The correct grapple model should not be selected by excavator tonnage alone. Buyers should also confirm excavator operating weight, hydraulic oil flow, operating pressure, material type, material size, grapple type, tine or claw quantity, opening width, rotating or fixed type and working condition before quotation.
MODEL SELECTION
How to Choose the Right Hydraulic Grapple Model
Select the hydraulic grapple by excavator weight, hydraulic output, material type, material size and density, opening width, claw quantity, rotating or fixed type and demolition, recycling or forestry use.
Key selection factors
- Excavator operating weight
- Hydraulic flow and pressure
- Material type
- Material size and density
- Grapple opening width
- Tine or claw quantity
- Rotating or fixed type requirement
- Demolition, recycling or forestry use
| Excavator Size | Recommended Grapple Class | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|
| Under 3 Ton | Mini log grapple | Light timber handling, yard sorting, small material loading |
| 3–5 Ton | Light log / sorting grapple | Small logs, stones and compact material sorting |
| 5–8 Ton | Medium log grapple | Log handling, timber loading and general material handling |
| 8–11 Ton | Light orange peel grapple | Waste recycling, scrap handling and light demolition sorting |
| 12–17 Ton | Medium orange peel grapple | Scrap metal handling, recycling and mixed material loading |
| 18–25 Ton | Heavy orange peel grapple | Demolition sorting, waste processing and larger scrap handling |
| 26–35 Ton | Large orange peel grapple | High-volume scrap handling and heavy recycling work |
| 36–50 Ton | Extra heavy orange peel grapple | Large recycling yards, heavy scrap and bulk material handling |
