Atlas Copco Construction Tools has introduced its new line of hydraulic demolition grapple attachments. The new multi grapples feature large hydraulic cylinders that provide high closing forces and short cycle times, making the attachments ideal for sorting and loading rubble, as well as demolition of masonry and wooden structures. The MG 1000 delivers a maximum closing force of 4.7 tons and is suitable for carriers in the 12-to 20-ton weight class. The MG 1000 operates at a maximum pressure of 5,076 psi and requires hydraulic oil flow of 22-to 32-gallons per minute (gpm). The grapple jaws of the MG 1000 open to a width of 77 inches and can handle a load capacity if 0.65 cubic yards. The MG 800 provides 3.8 tons of closing force and fits carriers between 9 and 16 tons and accepts oil flow of 18 to 26 gpm at 5,076 psi. The MG 500 offers 2.4 tons of closing force and can be used on 5-to 9-ton carriers and requires oil flow of 10 to 13 gpm at 4,351 psi. Both the MG 800 and MG 500 provide jaw opening widths of 67 and 59 inches and load capacities of 0.52 and 0.26 cubic yards. A standard 360-degree hydraulic rotation unit on each multi grapple allows for accurate positioning of the attachment to accelerate work progress.
All major components of the multi grapples are made of durable carbon steel. Multi grapples feature an open lattice jaw design with elongated slots to allow loose mater such as sand and mortar residue to fall through. Visit www.atlascopco.com for more information.
