Efficient Scrap Handling Solution: Orange Peel Grapple for 5-35 Ton Excavators

RAY Orange Peel Grapple, a specialized attachment designed for excavators ranging from 5 to 35 tons, offers proven performance in scrap steel handling tasks including loading, unloading, stacking, and material placement. Engineered for durability and operational efficiency, this grapple addresses common challenges in recycling yards, demolition sites, and steel processing facilities.

Key Design Features for Heavy-Duty Performance

1. Low Profile for Confined Spaces

With a compact overall height, the grapple excels in restricted environments such as indoor recycling centers or tightly packed scrap yards. Its streamlined design allows seamless operation without compromising reach or stability, minimizing clearance issues during vertical movements.

2. Robust Structure with Optimal Weight Balance

Constructed from high-strength alloy steel, the grapple combines a rugged frame with carefully engineered weight distribution. This design enhances excavator fuel efficiency while withstanding constant stress from heavy loads and abrasive materials, ensuring reliable performance in harsh conditions.

3. High-Capacity Jaw Configurations

Available in 4-jaw and 5-jaw variants, the grapple securely grips irregular scrap steel pieces, maximizing payload per cycle. The interlocking jaw mechanism provides a tight seal around materials, reducing spillage and improving productivity during repetitive handling tasks.

4. Extended Service Life Through Heat Treatment

A proprietary heat-treatment process enhances the grapple’s resistance to wear and fatigue, extending its operational lifespan by up to 25% compared to standard models. This feature is critical for high-frequency use, where equipment longevity directly impacts maintenance costs and downtime.

Safety and Operational Advantages

5. Protected Hydraulic System

The integrated hose guard encloses high-pressure hydraulic hoses within the grapple’s structure, shielding them from physical damage and environmental factors. This design reduces the risk of leaks and mechanical failures, ensuring consistent hydraulic performance over time.

6. Shock-Absorbing Cushion Cylinder

A specialized cushion cylinder absorbs sudden impacts during material handling, reducing stress on both the grapple and excavator components. This feature minimizes vibration and mechanical strain, improving operator comfort and equipment durability in dynamic work environments.

Model Options for Diverse Excavator Tonnages

The grapple is available in four models, each optimized for specific excavator weight classes:

• RHGP-04: Suited for 5–11 ton excavators, ideal for small-scale recycling and urban demolition.

• RHGP-06: Designed for 12–18 ton excavators, balancing precision and power for mid-sized operations.

• RHGP-08: Engineered for 18–25 ton excavators, delivering high performance in industrial scrap yards.

• RHGP-10: Built for 26–35 ton excavators, capable of handling heavy-duty steel processing tasks.

All models integrate seamlessly with standard excavator hydraulic systems, requiring no additional modifications for installation.

Reliable Solution for Global Scrap Handling Needs

Whether processing shredded steel, sorting mixed scrap, or loading bulk materials, the Orange Peel Grapple provides a practical, durable solution for optimizing material handling workflows. Its focus on structural integrity, safety, and compatibility makes it a trusted choice for operators prioritizing efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
