High-Strength Scrap Handling Grapple Cylinder - Corrosion Resistant Rod
Designed for the demanding conditions of scrap handling and recycling operations, these custom hydraulic grapple cylinders feature heavy-duty welded construction and optional corrosion-resistant rod treatments. With working pressures up to 350 bar and bore sizes from 50 to 250 mm, they deliver reliable gripping force for scrap yards, demolition sites, and waste transfer stations.
Key Selling Points
- Corrosion-resistant rod options: Induction-hardened or coated rods withstand abrasive and wet environments.
- Large bearing areas: Reduce wear during frequent articulation, extending service life.
- Heavy-duty wipers and seals: Prevent contamination from scrap particles and debris.
- Optional load-holding valves: Maintain gripping force if hydraulic pressure is interrupted.
- High-strength mounting components: Forged alloy steel eyes and pins withstand alternating loads.
- Full testing: Each unit is pressure and leak tested before shipping.
