The contractors grapple or five-fingered grapple is
an extremely versatile attachment that allows the
holding or clamping of objects its two arms. The
grapple adds to the versatility of the excavator, as
it provides grappling for long and awkward objects,
and is excellent for site cleanup, demolition works,
loading of green waste, scrap, recycling , rocks and
other applications that require extensive lift and
carry or lift and load operations.
The contractors grapple can be fitted to all
excavators whether or not they have a quickhitch
fitted with the same mounting brackets fitted.
There are no hydraulics or modifications required to
the existing excavator stick, and are available in
kit form for on-site assembly
Performance Statement
High performance excavator contractors grapple from
eiengineering
will improve your productivity and
performance through:
Improved geometry for more efficient loading and
unloading of material
Heavy duty robust construction for increased
strength and durability
Specially designed for superior performance
Can be used for picking and placing rocks
Are designed to comply with OH&S requirements
No need to run extra hydraulics as the grapple uses
the existing bucket cylinder
What to look for in a Contractors Grapple
Superior design for more efficient load management
Designed for your particular application
Wear protection on grapple finger edges
High strength steel used in construction
eiengineering Contractors Grapple Design
Our engineers calculate the proportions for the
materials being loaded with the lifting capacity of
the machine.
The finger protection ensures that the load has a
minimum possibility of slippage
Can be fitted to machines with or without
quickhitches
All
eiengineering
contractors grapples are made from
Bisalloy, which is 3.1 times stronger than mild
steel. This ensures more strength and less weight
which means greater capacities, less fuel
consumption and less load on the excavator.
The Benefits
The benefits you will experience are:
Earn more money moving more material and different
material types
Reduce fuel costs – normally hard to load objects
require less time loading, carrying and unloading.
Increased safety as there is no need to balance
large loads on bucket edges
Save time – easier loading means less time behind
the controls, saving fuel and employee costs
Reduced servicing costs because the excavator is not
working as hard
Bisalloy construction means longer working life of
the attachment and less downtime carrying out
expensive repairs or modifications
What you get as standard
All of our contractors grapples are delivered with
dipper arm bracket.
