Introducing three new demolition and sorting grapples, the G310 GC, G313 GC and G315 GC, is
The models are additions to the current G300, and designed for hydraulic excavators with operating weights ranging from 10-19tonnes, being purpose-built specifically to sort out debris at source, load or unload containers or strip a building before final demolition.
“They are designed to reach a broader family of customers and to compete in a fast growing market. All GC grapples are backed by Caterpillar’s commitment to quality,” says Bert Heijligers, marketing communications manager, Caterpillar Work Tools.
The G300 GC grapples are available with a fixed upper head or with a top plate for mounting an adapter bracket, which allows the grapple to be exchanged among multiple carriers.
When used with the dedicated Cat CW Quick Coupler, the grapple can be exchanged in seconds for other Cat work tools. Cat excavators have pre-programmed hydraulic settings to accommodate G300 Series grapples.
The new grapple has a low height and features a durable shell and hinge design in its construction while hydraulic components are fully protected, and the one-piece push bar provides powerful closing forces for the grab shells.
“The G300 GC series grapple also features hydraulic, 360° rotation, enabling the grapple to approach material from virtually any angle and also minimising the need to move the carrier,” says Caterpillar Work Tools.
Replaceable, abrasion-resistant cutting edges are standard.
