Durable, cylinder-less grapple with HPXdrive system, specially designed for handling with excavators from 20 t / 44,000 lb to 40 t / 88,000 lb. l HPXdrive – the revolutionary concept of hydraulically operated grapples! The rotation of the grapple arms is generated by two hydraulically driven pistons, which rotate opposite each other and have four helical wires. No hydraulic cylinder required! No short hose connections needed! l The drive unit operates in a permanent oil bath which ensures a 50% longer lifespan and low maintenance. The HPXdrive is resistant to dirt and knocks due to the compact design. l Optimal diving into the pile thanks to the large opening and the vertical tooth tips when fully open; precise positioning thanks to integrated rotation. l High and constant closing forces during the entire gripping process. l With integrated rotation: Sealed swivel and bevel. Rotary feedthrough and motor directly accessible.
