Mechanical Grab with Stiff Arm & Bracket – 1.5–2.5T Excavators
Industrial-Grade Mechanical Grab for Compact Excavator Applications
The HFP Mechanical Grab with Stiff Arm is designed for 1.5–2.5 tonne excavators requiring a simple, robust and low-maintenance material handling solution. Common applications include landscaping, tree work, site clean-ups, green waste handling and light material placement, where controlled gripping is required without the complexity of auxiliary hydraulics.
Engineered for Australian conditions, this attachment is well suited to contractors, hire fleets, OEM supply and government operators running compact excavator fleets where reliability, simplicity and ease of maintenance are key priorities.
