Grapple

HKM EG05 Grapple

The HKM EG05 Grapple is specifically designed for excavators in the 5 to 9 ton class. With an operating weight of 530 kg, this model is optimized to deliver stable performance and strong gripping power even in tight job sites. Its compact dimensions of 1370 mm in height, 620 mm in width, and 1400 mm jaw opening provide a lightweight yet effective material handling solution. The unit operates at 200–240 bar hydraulic pressure with an oil flow rate of 100 L/min, offering smooth, powerful, and precise movement. A 360° rotation function is included as standard equipment, ensuring fast material alignment and excellent maneuverability on site.

Benefits

• Optimized Cycle Efficiency: The large-bore, single-cylinder design delivers fast, synchronized jaw movement with high clamping force minimizing idle time and maximizing operational speed.
• Extended Jaw Reach: Wide shell openings with zero-clearance profiles allow effective handling of large, bulky, or irregular materials, even along container walls and tight corners.
• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Reinforced shells with replaceable, bolt-on cutting edges ensure maximum durability in severe-duty applications like demolition, recycling, and material transfer.
• Minimal Downtime Maintenance: Ground-level access to all grease points and removable side panels simplifies servicing and significantly reduces maintenance time.
• 360° Rotation System: Full hydraulic rotation ensures precise alignment and grip from any angle, improving flexibility without repositioning the base machine.

Application Areas

• Demolition Works: Suitable for both primary deconstruction and secondary material separation of buildings, concrete structures, and reinforced masonry.
• Recycling & Waste Management: Ideal for sorting, loading, and transferring construction debris, metal scrap, wood, and other recyclable materials on-site.
• Light Structure Removal: Efficient handling of wooden buildings, fences, modular walls, and general-purpose demolition of lightweight installations.
• Landscaping & Vegetation Clearing: Capable of removing tree stumps, roots, branches, and green waste in landscaping or roadside maintenance operations.
• Material Handling & Site Cleanup: Versatile in lifting pallets, segregating mixed debris, or placing rocks, tiles, and industrial waste with speed and control.

Key Features

• Reinforced Shell Construction
• High-Torque Rotary System
• Reversible, Wear-Resistant Cutting Edges
• Efficient Single-Cylinder Mechanism
• Slim Profile with Zero Side Clearance

Optional Shells for HKM Grapples

• Skeleton Shell: Ideal for primary and secondary demolition tasks. The open rib structure allows fine debris to fall through, reducing weight and enhancing operator visibility. It’s the most aggressive solution for on-site sorting and rough separation.
• Perforated Shell: Suitable for precision sorting of light-density materials such as insulation, plastics, and mixed debris. Offers a balance between visibility and precise material handling.

All shells are built from high-strength, wear-resistant steel and are fully field-replaceable. Depending on your operational needs, you can switch shell types to maximize the performance of a single attachment across different projects.
