Orange Peel Grab Attachment

Orange Peel Attachment

An Orange Peel Attachment is a type of grapple designed for handling bulk, irregularly shaped materials like scrap metal, waste, and large stones. Its name comes from the appearance of its claw-like tines, which resemble the segments of an orange peel. These attachments are commonly used on heavy machinery like excavators and cranes in industries such as recycling, waste management, and construction.
Key Features and Types
Claw Design: Typically consists of 4-6 strong, curved tines that open and close hydraulically. The tines provide a secure grip on uneven materials, preventing slippage and ensuring stability during lifting and transport.
Hydraulic Operation: The claws are hydraulically powered, providing the strength and precision needed to handle heavy, dense, or oddly shaped materials.
360-Degree Rotation:Many orange peel grapples come with a rotator, allowing for full 360-degree movement. This feature gives operators more control, making it easier to position materials accurately.
Multiple Sizes: Orange peel attachments come in a variety of sizes and tine configurations to handle different load capacities, allowing for customization based on specific needs.
Durability and Material: Constructed from high-strength steel or other heavy-duty materials, these attachments are built to withstand harsh environments and handle large, heavy loads.
Types:
4-Tine Grapple: Provides a solid grip and is generally used for smaller scrap or waste materials.
5-Tine Grapple: Commonly used for larger, bulkier items and provides additional stability for handling awkward loads.
6-Tine Grapple: Offers the highest level of grip and control, often used for very dense materials like rock or industrial scrap.
