Our heavy-duty Orange Peel Grab is a premier mechanical attachment engineered specifically for the demanding task of handling loose, bulky, and irregular materials. With a self-weight of 7.5 metric tons, this grab is built for durability and powerful performance on large material handling cranes in scrap metal yards, recycling facilities, port terminals, and demolition sites. Its iconic “orange peel” design with multiple tines ensures a secure and voluminous bite on everything from shredded steel and fragmented concrete to logs and industrial waste.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior Strength & Durability: Constructed from high-tensile, wear-resistant steel (Q345B/GR.50 or equivalent) at all critical stress points. Reinforced tine tips and pivot mechanisms ensure a long service life under extreme conditions.
-
Optimized for Steel Scrap: The specially designed tine geometry and closing force penetrate and consolidate tangled scrap metal, maximizing load per cycle and reducing handling time.
-
High Volumetric Capacity: The multi-petal (typically 4, 5, or 6 tines) design opens wide to capture a large volume of material in a single pass, significantly improving operational efficiency.
-
Low Maintenance Design: Features sealed, heavy-duty bearings and greasable bushings at all pivotal joints. The simple, robust mechanical design minimizes downtime and repair costs.
-
Excellent Penetration & Grab Force: The tapered, strong tines easily dig into and compact loose piles, ensuring a full and secure load every time.
-
Universal Compatibility: Designed to integrate seamlessly with standard crane hook systems. Can be customized to match specific crane requirements (opening/closing mechanism, rotation system).
