Re-Handling Clamshell Buckets with HPXdrive
The robust re-handling clamshell buckets C40HPX are equipped with the newly developed drive unit, based on the revolutionary and already proven HPXdrive. The revolutionary concept for hydraulically operated grabs! The rotation of the arms of the grab is generated by two hydraulically driven pistons, which run opposed and have four helix threads.
No hydraulic cylinder required! No short hose connections required!
The drive unit runs in a permanent oil bath which ensures a 50% longer life cycle and a low maintenance. The HPXdrive is resistant against dirt and blows due to the compact design.
Optimal loading due to high volume of the torsion-resistant shells and precise positioning thanks to integrated rotation.
Constant closing forces during the entire gripping process.
The grab has an integrated rotation with swivel and bevel sealed. Rotary feedthrough and motor are accessible directly. The integrated non-return valve guarantees secure retention of loads.
There is also a version with closed shells available for fine-grained loads like e.g. fertilizer or corn.
A shell exchange for maximum flexibility and efficiency is possible thanks to the integrated HPXdrive shell exchange system, so you can change between shells with different volumes.
The C40HPX is ideal for excavators with 18t / 39600 lbs to 25t / 55000 lbs or re-handling excavators with 20t / 44000 lbs to 40t / 88000 lbs operating weight.
Re-Handling Clamshell Buckets with Vertical Cylinders
Also especially for the loading of bulk materials for excavators with up to 100t / 220000 lbs operating weight, the new re-handling clamshell buckets of the C-VHD-series is equipped with vertical cylinders and a strong, robust rotation.
There is also a closed shell version (C) available for fine-grained loads like e.g. fertilizer.
The integrated rotation provides a sealed swivel and bevel and rotary feedthrough and motor are accessible directly.
The smallest version C30V for excavators with up to 25t / 55000 lbs or re-handling excavators with up to 30t / 66000 lbs operating weight is equipped with a 15t flat rotator with 360° endless rotation.
All re-handling clamshell buckets are also available as heavy duty version with reinforced shells on request.
