A rotating grapple is an excavator attachment equipped with a hydraulic rotator. Here’s how it operates:
Design:
- The grapple features jaws or claws mounted on an arm.
- The hydraulic rotator allows the attachment to swivel independently of the excavator’s arm.
Functionality:
- The operator uses hydraulic controls to open and close the grapple.
- The rotator enables 360-degree rotation, making it ideal for tasks requiring precise positioning.
Applications:
- Loading scrap, garbage, and demolition debris.
- Handling waste paper and other materials.
Rotating grapples enhance flexibility and efficiency, especially when the ability to rotate the attachment is essential.
