Rotating Grapples
 

 

Designed and built for the most extreme service.

 

We manufacture a complete line of top quality, extreme service Demolition Grapples for all excavator makes and models from 4 to 180 t.

Applications:

Crush and load garbage, wood waste, construction debris, brush, etc.  Excellent for building demolition.

Construction:

Custom fabricated with 120,000 psi quenched & tempered steel plate. Hardened pins and aluminum-bronze bushings throughout. Nye grapple tines are a box section design made from continuous T1 structural plates that extend from the tips all the way to the top plate. The continuous tine design makes Nye grapples the strongest in the world. Our superior performance at "Ground Zero" proves this claim.

  • Simple installation; pins on in place of normal bucket, back brace welds to underside of dipper-stick.

  • No extra valves or hoses required.

  • Extra strong construction, designed for demolition work.
