Mechanical Grab with Stiff Arm & Bracket – 16–22T Excavators

Industrial-Grade Mechanical Grab for Heavy Material Handling Applications

The HFP Mechanical Grab with Stiff Arm is designed for 16–22 tonne excavators operating in demanding environments where strength, simplicity, and reliability are critical. Commonly used for timber handling, rock placement, scrap management, demolition support, and bulk material movement, this mechanically actuated grab delivers consistent gripping performance without reliance on auxiliary hydraulics.

Engineered for Australian conditions, this attachment is well suited to infrastructure contractors, hire fleets, OEM supply programs, and government operators requiring a durable, low-maintenance grab solution for larger excavator classes.

Functional Overview

Mechanical grabs utilise the excavator’s bucket curl function to generate closing force, offering a robust gripping solution with fewer components than hydraulic alternatives. This makes them particularly suitable for:

• High-load applications where simplicity and durability are prioritised
• Fleet and council environments requiring reduced maintenance and downtime
• Sites where hydraulic circuits are limited or reserved for other attachments

The inclusion of a stiff arm and mounting bracket ensures correct operating geometry, controlled movement, and stable performance under load.
