LBX releases Link-Belt LSG series, LCG series work tools

LBX Co. LLC, Lexington, Kentucky, has launched the Link-Belt LSG series scrap grapples and LCG series contractor handling grapples, designed for scrap handling, construction and demolition sorting and bulk material handling.

The Link-Belt scrap grapple is a low-maintenance, high-capacity orange-peel grapple designed for high volume scrap yard processing. Available in four models, the LSG features:

• reverse-mounted cylinders that protect rods from damage;
• multiple tine and spade styles for all types of scrap material;
• fully boxed tine construction for strength and durability;
• an overall footprint that easily fits inside trailers;
• a heavy-duty guarding system that completely protects cylinders and internal components yet is easily removed for maintenance;
• identical hardened steel bearings with dust seals at all pivot points to protect against external debris;
• large bore hydraulic cylinders for maximum clamping force;
• high-torque continuous 360-degree rotation; and
• abrasion-resistant steel tips that are easily replaced with a simple perimeter weld.

The LCG series is available with perforated or heavy-duty ribbed tines that close at a very flat angle to assist in compacting material. LBX says. Maximum crushing force densifies material, while the rotation system is designed to resist back-driving forces. Available in three models, the LCG features:

• a single cylinder with dual drag links to minimize the number of moving parts and simplify the hydraulic system;
• a streamlined tine, frame and linkage design with easy-to-locate grease fittings for simplified maintenance;
• an oversized cylinder design that incorporates rod protection, maximum crushing force to densify material, bolt-on gland cap for durability and easy maintenance; and
• large recessed side covers to provide easy access to internal components while protecting the cover fasteners.
