The Eccentric Pin Hydraulic Grapple is a highly efficient attachment engineered to deliver superior control, clamping force, and durability for demanding material handling tasks. Its unique design centers on an off-axis pin mechanism, allowing the jaws to exert maximum gripping power and self-tighten under load.
How the Eccentric Pin Works
Unlike standard grapples, the eccentric pin design creates a mechanical advantage. As hydraulic pressure closes the jaws, the off-center pin rotation increases the force applied to the material. This results in:
Self-Tightening Grip: The harder the pull, the tighter the grip, preventing material slippage.
Enhanced Clamping Force: Achieves greater crushing and holding power without requiring higher hydraulic pressure.
Protected Cylinders: The mechanism absorbs shock loads, reducing stress on hydraulic cylinders and hoses.
Key Features
✔ Unmatched Grip Strength – Ideal for handling dense, heavy, or irregularly shaped materials like rocks, logs, and scrap metal.
✔ Durability & Low Maintenance – Robust construction with high-strength steel and protected hydraulic components ensures longevity in tough environments.
✔ Precision Control – Allows operators to securely pick, sort, place, and load materials with minimal loss.
✔ Versatile Jaw Configurations – Available in multi-tine (rake) or clam-shell styles for applications ranging from forestry and demolition to scrap handling and land clearing.
✔ Enhanced Productivity – Faster cycle times and a secure grip reduce effort and increase operational efficiency.
Applications
Logging & Forestry: Handling, sorting, and loading logs and brush.
Demolition & Scrap Recycling: Grappling rebar, concrete chunks, and mixed metal scrap.
Quarry & Mining: Moving large rocks and aggregate.
Land Clearing & Landscaping: Rooting out stumps, collecting brush, and handling debris.
Port & Shipping: Handling bulk materials and loose cargo.
Why Choose an Eccentric Pin Grapple?
For operators who need a reliable, powerful, and low-maintenance grapple, the eccentric pin design is a superior investment. It transforms standard material handling into a more efficient and controlled process, especially when dealing with heavy or slippery loads. Its strength and ingenious mechanism reduce wear, leading to lower operating costs over time.
Best For: Contractors, recyclers, loggers, and material handlers who require a high-performance grapple that maximizes grip, minimizes downtime, and excels in heavy-duty applications.
