For project contractors and farmers who use excavators, it's common to use excavator buckets for earth-moving jobs or hydraulic breakers to break rocks. However, when it comes to moving wood, stone, scrap steel, or other materials, it's crucial to choose the right excavator grapple.

There are many different types of grapples available from various brands, each with different applications. So, how do you choose the right one for your excavator? Here are some tips:


The differentiation of the grab

Consider the different types of grapples available, such as wood/stone grapples, demolition grapples, and scrap grapples.

While you could grab any material with any type of grapple, it's best to choose a grapple specifically designed for the type of material you'll be moving. For example, a wood grapple is ideal for handling wood, while a stone grapple is better suited for handling stones. Steel grapples, orange peel grapples, and demolition grapples are designed for waste and scrap metal and come in different sizes for different materials.


The difference between a rotating grab and a non-rotating grab

Decide whether you want a rotating or non-rotating grapple. A rotating grapple can turn 360 degrees, making it easier to load goods from different angles. The main difference between the two types is the presence of a rotating head.

Make sure the grapple can fit with your excavator's quick hitches. Quick hitches come in different shapes around the world, so pay attention to the hitches and ensure that the grapple you choose can match them well.

How to choose the right grab type

Choose the right model of grapple based on the weight of your excavator and the dimensions of the connection part. Measure the dimensions of the original bucket connection part carefully to ensure the grapple fits correctly. If you measure incorrectly, the grapple may not be installed without modification. Customized grapples are available to match different dimensions.


The importance of the grab

It's crucial to choose a high-quality grapple for your excavator to avoid issues such as rusting, oil leaks, or snapping. If you're unsure how to choose the right grapple, contact a professional sales team for advice.
