RGS grapples are used primarily for scrap, wood and other material handling operations in a recycling yard type setting where continuous, heavy-duty cycling is necessary. The working portion of the grapple consists of the rotator and two grapple halves which bypass into one another. The 193 RGS is designed for 160,000- to 210,000-pound class excavators/scrap handlers.

CATERPILLAR SCRAP HANDLER

The new Caterpillar 350 MH scrap handler has a three-piece front for a maximum reach of 56 feet and 3 inches from the swing center. The front draws power from Caterpillar-built hydraulic cylinders. Also, the cab riser is at 6 feet 5 inches, giving the operator good visibility when loading or unloading material, and the model has a wide track undercarriage of 10 feet 11 inches for steady maneuverability. In addition, the handler comes with a proportional priority pressure compensated valve that automatically proportions flow so that all functions proceed smoothly and predictably.

AMERICAN BALER H SERIES

The American Baler Co. has improved its baler design with a new free-floating extrusion chamber design available on its 6042 Series baler. Called the “H” style extrusion chamber, it has proven to maximize tension force and ram pressure to produce denser bales that are uniform and easy to handle and ship. The large hydraulic cylinder on the top of the chamber compresses bales, while the lever action of the twin arms on the side mechanically squeeze the bales from both sides.
