The sorting grapple (demolition grapple) has been specially developed for the requirements of demolition and recycling, greatly enhance the productivity of primary or secondary demolition applications. They are capable of moving large volumes of material while sorting recyclables.
Sorting grapple attachment will typically be much more productive in most applications (demolition, rock handling, scrap handling, land clearing, etc.) than a thumb and bucket. For demolition and serious material handling, it is the way to go.
In most situations, a demolition grapple would be the ideal choice, Demolition grapples provide great versatility by affording the operator the ability to not only pick debris, but also create it. Lighter grapples are available but aren’t typically recommended for demolition. Similar to thumbs, if the demolition is being created by another means, then a lighter duty, wide grapple might suit your needs better.
An excavator grapple is generally powered in one of two ways, mechanically or hydraulically way. Each comes with its benefits and drawbacks to consider in selecting a grapple. A mechanical grapple is the economical model, with less maintenance required to keep it in good working status. However, a hydraulic grapple allows for a greater range of rotation, whereas a mechanical grapple simply opens and closes. Mechanical grapples do the job with more force than their hydraulic counterparts, while hydraulic grapples offer increased precision at the expense of raw power.hydraulic grapples also work slightly faster than mechanical grapples, which can save valuable time and energy in the long run. Do they save enough time to justify the increased price and higher level of necessary upkeep? It’s certainly a question you’ll have to ask based on your demolition workload and the precision required in the lifting and relocation of onsite scrap.
