The new multi grapples feature large hydraulic cylinders that provide high closing forces and short cycle times, making the attachments well suited for sorting and loading rubble, as well as demolition of masonry and wooden structures.
The new multi grapple line includes the MG 1000, MG 800 and MG 500. At a service weight of 2,039 pounds, the MG 1000 delivers a closing force of 4.7 tons. Suitable for carriers in the 12- to 20-ton weight class, the MG 1000 operates at a maximum pressure of 5,076 psi and requires hydraulic flow of 22 to 32 gallons per minute.
The MG 800 weighs in at 1,818 pounds and provides 3.8 tons of closing force. The attachment fits carriers between 9 and 16 tons and accepts oil flow of 18 to 26 gallons per minute at 5,076 psi. The 1,014-pound MG 500 offers 2.4 tons of closing force. It can be used on 5- to 9-ton carriers and requires oil flow of 10 to 13 gpm at 4,351 psi.
A standard 360-degree hydraulic rotation unit on each multi grapple allows for accurate positioning of the attachment to accelerate work progress. The MG 1000 features two hydraulic cylinders to maximize the grapple’s closing force. The two smaller models have one cylinder.
The cylinders are guarded to protect against outside debris, and a built-in rotation protection system is designed to reduce wear and tear on the carrier. To protect against unnecessary strain on the grapple’s mobile components, the cylinders on the MG 1000 and MG 800 are also equipped with hydraulic-end position damping. This system slows down jaw-opening speed shortly before the grapples reach their full-width end position.
