Overview
- High Strength Steel. High strength alloy steel is used throughout the frame and jaws for long lasting durability.
- Pins. These are induction-hardened alloy steel. All pin joints also have heavy-duty hardened steel bushes — significantly lengthening pin and bearing life.
- Tight pin tolerances reduce wear and promote long life for the induction hardened pins.
- Optimized jaw shape for excellent multiple stem grip and holding power.
- Grapple jaws are designed to optimise performance in all areas of loading, sorting, shovelling or bunching with additional wear protection of hard facing on any high wear areas
- Overlapping Jaws. Jaws will close down to a minimum of seven inches — allowing operators the ability to easily handle single, smaller stems.
- Individual Jaw Pivots. Both jaws have individual pivot points that dramatically reduces the overall stress, wear and fatigues and increases lifespan.
- Wide Opening. Best in class opening widths give the user greater operating flexibility.
- Wear Shims. Shims are fitted to all high wear areas for reduced body wear and smoother operation.
- 360° Continuous Rotation. High-torque hydraulic motor positions the grapple precisely for rapid sorting and loading. Built-in cross port relief protects the hydraulic system even with heavy loads. Heavy-duty slew bearing for reliability.
- Internal Routings. Hose connections and supply lines are protected inside the grapple frame, away from the possibility of damage.
- All series two models an easy hose access panel has been added.
- Hydraulic Cylinders. Heavy-duty wall construction delivers durability and maximum closing power. Bolted glands facilitate both durability and serviceability. Hydraulic Cylinders. GX series grapples feature precision made heavy-duty wall construction with heavy duty hardened steel bushes. This benefit delivers durability and maximum closing power reliability.
- Direct Connect Fittings. Direct fittings are durable and long-lasting, vastly increasing long-term reliability.
- Rotating seal joint assembly gives unsurpassed seal life with large sealing areas and specialised high-pressure seals.
- Hose layout between grapple and base machine is compact and neat. Series two include same length hoses to avoid confusion when being changed.
- Duxson series two grapples feature a redesigned centre joint to be more user friendly and efficient.
- Bolt-on access panels protect the grapple internals, but allow easy serviceability in the field.
- In-the-Field Servicing. All grease points, the motor and other service components are easily accessible in the field with hand tools. Service can be performed quickly, from one position, minimizing downtime.
- All spare parts are available ex stock for same day dispatch.
- Easy fit up with various setup options and links available.
- Optional hose through or non-hose through rotators.
