Description

Rock handling

Orange peel grapples POM line are designed to handle big rocks and boulders. They’re gripping devices with independent tines, each one set in motion by a double-acting hydraulic cylinder. This allows the equipment to have a good hold on non-symmetrical objects like natural stones. The tines have a peculiar design and a knurled tips, in order to achieve the best grip on the surface of the rocks. 

Three standard models 

Idrobenne offers three standard models: a grapple with three jaws, suitable for midi-excavators, and two models for heavier machines, up to 40 tons weight. Since it is a niche market, where the needs are often very specific, Idrobenne can design and build tailor-made grapples, which can be used in salted or marine water, too.

Versatility

Orange peel grapples are multi-tines gripping devices. Each tine is set in motion by a double-acting hydraulic cylinder. For that the jaws, or teeth, have a synchronized, but independent, movement of opening and closing. The number of  tines vary from four to six. This feature makes polyp grapples particularly suitable for the collection and handling of large quantities of bulk materials such as metal scrap, paper, tires drive, solid urban waste and firewood. They can be mounted on truck cranes, mini excavators, stationary cranes, hydraulic excavators and wheeled loaders.

Different rotator options

The attachments for crane and excavator can be equipped with a rotation device, either mechanical (free, 250° rotation) or hydraulic (hydraulic motor with continuous rotation). Depending on the type of equipment, the rotator may be incorporated in the main frame of the equipment or mounted on the top of it. Idrobenne offers a wide range of high quality hydraulic rotators.

Experience in construction and reliability.

More than thirty years experience in the industry, the most modern technical design programs and a careful assembly make Idrobenne’s hydraulic equipment a reliable and safe product. Construction and testing are carried out by highly qualified and experienced personnel. The design of the equipment is always "user friendly", to grant simple access during maintenance.  All wear parts are easy to reach and quickly replaceable.

High quality components.

All products are built using high-tensile Swedish steel for the structural parts and use wear plates (Hardox) for parts in contact with the handled materials, such as the blades of the buckets, the tines and the tips. The large diameter pins are made of special steel, hardened under heat treatment. The bushes are provided of an internal spiral for the distribution of grease. The entire production cycle is certified according to ISO 9001 standards.

Custom links.

Orange peel grapples, clamshell buckets, log grapples and similar attachments must be mounted on operating machines through a cardan link. This part allows free swinging in the four horizontal directions (so-called pendulum mounting). Idrobenne can manufacture and supply custom-made links for any operating machine such as truck cranes, excavators, material handlers and earth moving equipment.
