Komatsu Europe has introduced a new sorting and demolition grapple range, the latest addition to the Komatsu attachments portfolio. The new grapple range includes all grapples coming as standard with a load control valve included. The main areas of focus were on low maintenance cost and a long lifetime of the attachments. This was achieved using oversized pins and bushings, a robust double-walled main frame and perforated Hardox shells.
“We can cover a wide range of crawler and wheeled excavators, going from 2,5 to 70 tonnes machine class” says Bastiaan Cassiman, Product Manager Attachments. “Their heavy-duty design ensures that they hold up in even the toughest conditions.” He concludes: “These grapples are designed to handle anything from primary and secondary demolition to recycling”.
These sorting and demolition grapples are the first of a complete range of demolition attachments which Komatsu will continue to introduce.
