Product Range

TGEC offers eight excavator grapple configurations for different materials and applications. The hydraulic range includes the multi-finger hydraulic scrap grapple, demolition grapple, rotary log grapple, clamshell grapple bucket, dual-cylinder rotary grapple, and single-cylinder rotary scrap grapple.

The mechanical range includes the heavy-duty mechanical grapple for demanding rock and demolition work and the mechanical grapple for general material handling. Mechanical models use the excavator's standard bucket curl function and do not require an auxiliary hydraulic circuit. See each product page for detailed specifications and compatibility.

Application Scenarios

Scrap and recycling: Sorting and handling metals, recyclables, and bulky materials.
Demolition and construction: Handling concrete, masonry, rebar, and demolition debris.
Forestry and timber: Gripping, rotating, and loading logs, poles, and woody materials.
Dredging and bulk material: Handling sand, gravel, sludge, and other loose materials.
Land clearing and landscaping: Removing brush, small trees, stumps, and woody debris.
Rock and stone handling: Moving rocks, boulders, and stone for site preparation and landscaping.

Machine Compatibility

TGEC excavator grapples are available for excavators from 1.7 to 50 tons. Hydraulic models require one or more auxiliary hydraulic circuits depending on the configuration. Rotary models require separate hydraulic functions for grapple operation and rotation, while mechanical models use the standard bucket curl function. Final compatibility depends on the grapple model, excavator specifications, mounting configuration, and hydraulic requirements. Send us your excavator make, model, operating weight, and available auxiliary hydraulic circuits if you need help selecting a suitable configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of excavator grapples does TGEC manufacture?+

TGEC manufactures eight excavator grapple configurations across hydraulic and mechanical designs, covering scrap, demolition, timber, dredging, rock, and general material handling. Browse the Product Range above for each configuration, or visit individual product pages for detailed specifications.

How do I choose the right excavator grapple for my application?+

Start with the material you handle and the type of work you perform. Scrap and recycling typically use multi-finger or rotary scrap grapples; demolition and rock work suit demolition or heavy-duty mechanical grapples; timber and forestry use rotary log grapples; dredging and bulk material suit clamshell grapple buckets. Match the grapple to your excavator's operating weight and available hydraulic functions—see Machine Compatibility above for circuit requirements. Provide your machine and application details, and our team can confirm the right configuration.

What is the difference between hydraulic and mechanical excavator grapples?+

Hydraulic excavator grapples use hydraulic cylinders to open and close the jaws and require one or more auxiliary hydraulic circuits. Depending on the configuration, they can provide independent jaw control and may include a 360-degree rotator for precise material positioning. Mechanical grapples operate using the excavator's standard bucket curl function and do not require an auxiliary hydraulic circuit, resulting in a simpler design with fewer hydraulic components. The right choice depends on the application, excavator configuration, and required level of control.

Can TGEC provide OEM and private-label supply for excavator grapples?+

Yes. TGEC offers OEM and private-label supply for dealers, contractors, and qualified OEM partners, with custom jaw configurations, mounting brackets, and coupler adaptations available based on product selection and quantity. Contact our OEM sales team to discuss pricing, lead times, and supply terms.

What excavator sizes are compatible with TGEC grapple attachments?+

TGEC excavator grapples cover excavators from 1.7 to 50 tons across the product range. The heavy-duty mechanical grapple offers the broadest size range, from 1.7 to 50 tons, while hydraulic configurations typically cover approximately 3 to 35 tons depending on the model. Each product page provides the applicable excavator class, hydraulic flow requirements, and operating pressure for that configuration. Final compatibility also depends on mounting bracket geometry, pin dimensions, and quick-coupler type. Provide your excavator make, model, and operating weight, and our team can confirm the appropriate grapple size and mounting configuration.
