About the Grapples and Graptor Buckets
The Graptor Bucket Powered by RAMCAM is a digging bucket with a built-in rotary thumb. It is made to dig, grab, hold and demolish in one tool. The thumb keeps a constant grip on the load through the full bucket rotation, which suits demolition, sorting debris, and handling large heavy objects.
The line also includes the Extractor demolition and sorting grapple, a 360-degree rotating grapple for taking down structures and sorting material, the rotating log bunching grapple for grabbing multiple logs at once, and the dangling rotating utility grapple for landscaping and lumber yard work like placing rocks, logs and armour stone. Together they cover demolition, recycling, forestry and site work on excavators from 6,000 to 160,000 lbs.
Construction uses Hardox wear plate and Strenx steel throughout the line. The Graptor Bucket's outer shell is Hardox 500 Tuf and its side bars are Hardox 450, with fully enclosed hydraulic cylinders protected from the elements and a grease bank for routine maintenance.
