Product Overview

The HFP Mechanical Grab with Stiff Arm is engineered for 6–8 tonne excavators running 50mm pin configurations, delivering reliable, low-maintenance material handling performance across tree work, site clean-ups, rock placement, scrap handling, and general material movement applications.

Designed for operators prioritizing simplicity, durability, and controlled operation, this mechanically actuated grab delivers dependable gripping performance without requiring auxiliary hydraulics.

Utilizing excavator bucket curl action for actuation, the mechanical grab system reduces hydraulic complexity while maintaining excellent gripping capability across irregular and bulky materials.

The included stiff arm and mounting bracket provide stable operation, correct geometry, and controlled material handling performance in demanding commercial environments.

Designed for Australian conditions and suited to contractors, hire fleets, councils, OEM applications, and civil construction operators requiring durable long-term attachment performance.

Backed locally with parts, technical support, and after-sales service.

Machine Compatibility & Suitability

Suitable for a wide range of 6–8T excavator brands running 50mm pins, including:

• CAT, Kubota, Yanmar, Kobelco, Hitachi, Komatsu, Hyundai, JCB, Volvo, Takeuchi, Case, Airman, SANY, XCMG, and more.

Fitment Confirmation Required

To ensure correct fitment and optimal operation, please provide the following details when placing your order:

• Machine Make & Model
• Pin Diameter (50mm)
• Pin Centre to Pin Centre
• Width Between Ears
• Quick Hitch Type (if applicable)

This attachment is custom-configured to suit your excavator setup. Machines with larger pin sizes require heavier-duty attachment construction with increased material thickness and reinforcement to ensure correct fitment and structural integrity.

Excavator Size & Fitment Notes

Excavator tonnage ranges listed are intended as a general guide only. Machine operating weights, linkage geometry, quick hitch configurations, arm design, and intended application can vary significantly between manufacturers and models.

Machines within the same tonne range may utilize different pin sizes, pickup geometries, and linkage configurations depending on manufacturer design and operating requirements.

For this reason, all grabs are configured based on the machine specifications supplied at the time of order to ensure correct fitment, structural suitability, and optimal performance.
