Earth-moving grabs are heavy-duty hydraulic attachments for excavators and crawler loaders used to pick, lift, and move bulk materials like rock, demolition waste, logs, and scrap. They offer precise grasping, rotating and releasing for loading, sorting and site clearance. Built with reinforced tines and robust cylinders, grabs boost productivity and safety across demolition, recycling, forestry and civil earthmoving tasks.
Inspect structural wear on tines and bushings, check hydraulic hoses and cylinder seals for leaks, verify rotation mechanism and coupler condition, and review maintenance records and any repair history.
Match the grab’s mounting type (pin size or quick coupler), required hydraulic flow and pressure, and payload/duty rating to your machine’s specifications. Ask the seller for mount adapters if needed.
Grabs are usually shipped on flatbeds or lowboys. Secure the attachment with heavy chains through reinforced lifting points, immobilize moving parts, drain or secure oil lines, and protect exposed hydraulics and teeth.
Regularly grease pins and bushings, inspect and replace worn tines, keep hydraulic hoses and seals in good condition, tighten fasteners, and service rotation gears or motors per manufacturer intervals.
Common wear parts include tines/teeth, pins and bushings, hydraulic seals, hoses, and rotation gear components or bearings. Stocking these reduces downtime.
