Overview
Cat® Contractors' Grapples are a proven product built for your high-volume material handling needs. Designed for long-lasting durability, Contractors' Grapples are made to help you in the toughest of applications.
Features At A Glance
- Wide surface area for demolition and material handling applications with a rigid, box-type design.
- Penetrate, securely grasp, and retain materials better with two-over-three interlocking tines.
- Keep an eye on your work with long, wide-spaced tines for better visibility.
- Tips, wrapper, and wear strips are made of AR400 steel, for long-lasting, durability in the harshest applications.
- Debris loads and unloads seamlessly without catching due to the tips mounted flush with the wrapper.
- Optimize material flow and penetration into piles with less curvature in the lower jaw.
- Maintain high-volume production when using the grapple pinned to the machine or with a Pin Grabber Coupler.
- Purpose-designed to match their respective machine sizes for maximum performance in break out and lift capacity.
- Share your grapple across similar-sized excavators for maximum utilization with the use of replaceable pins to match different linkages.
- Capacities calculated according to SAE standard J2754, an industry-leading standard for fabricated grapples.
- Optimal for applications such as: structural demolition, material handling and sorting, loading and unloading rock, scrap, pipe, waste material, and other debris.
- No need for added hydraulics or hoses. Contractors' Grapples utilize the bucket linkages for operation.
- Long-lasting, field-serviceable tips have extended service life without extra weight.
- Jaws stay connected when the grapple pin is removed with the advanced modular pin hub system.
- Field-install an extreme duty wear package for extra protection on your grapple.
