The Orange Peel Grapple, also known as an orange peel grab or scrap grapple attachment, is a powerful hydraulic tool designed for demanding material handling applications. Whether you’re working in a scrap yard, recycling facility, or demolition site, this hydraulic orange peel grapple ensures efficient grabbing, loading, and sorting of irregular materials such as steel scrap, rebar, concrete debris, and construction waste.
Built with high-strength wear-resistant steel, the orange peel grapple for excavator delivers excellent clamping force, smooth hydraulic control, and superior durability even under heavy loads. Its open-tine design allows for maximum penetration into tangled or mixed materials, while the optional hydraulic rotation system offers 360° continuous movement for precise positioning.
How to Choose the Right Orange Peel Grapple
To select the ideal hydraulic orange peel grapple, consider:
- Excavator Size & Weight Class – Mini excavators (3–8 tons) need lightweight compact grapples; heavy excavators (20+ tons) should use reinforced heavy-duty orange peel grabs.
- Material Type – For scrap metal recycling, use a 5-tine steel scrap grapple; for waste sorting, a 4-tine demolition grapple or waste handling grab works best.
- Application Type – Choose 360° rotating grapples for precision in loading/unloading; non-rotating types are ideal for simple lifting or sorting.
- Hydraulic or Mechanical Options: Available in hydraulic or mechanical versions depending on your excavator’s configuration and operational needs.
- Durable Construction: Built with high-tensile steel and wear-resistant tips for enhanced lifespan in scrap handling or demolition operations.
- Multiple Tine Designs: Choose between 4-tine or 5-tine orange peel grapples to match your material type—ideal for metal recycling, waste sorting, and demolition cleanup.
- 360° Hydraulic Rotation: Optional rotator provides seamless control, improving accuracy when loading or unloading materials.
- High Power Hydraulic Cylinders: Delivers strong clamping force and smooth operation for handling heavy or irregular loads.
- Universal Mounting Options: Compatible with major excavator brands and quick coupler systems, making it easy to install and operate.
- The orange peel grapple is widely used across industries requiring material handling efficiency:
- Scrap Metal Recycling: Handle steel, iron, aluminum, and copper efficiently with a scrap handling grapple or steel scrap grab.
