5 Main Structural Components of Orange Peel Grab

• Grab Petal Structure: The grab petals are the core of the lotus grab, typically made of high-strength, wear-resistant steel, providing excellent impact resistance. Different petal shapes are suitable for different types of materials.
• Hydraulic System: The hydraulic system provides power and directly determines the grabbing force and operational stability. A high-performance hydraulic system ensures continuous operation for extended periods.
• Hydraulic Rotation Device: Many lotus grabs are equipped with a rotation function, improving grabbing flexibility and making them particularly suitable for complex working conditions.
• Connecting Bracket: The connecting bracket secures the lotus grab to the front of the excavator. Different brands and tonnages of excavators require different connecting structures.
• Hydraulic Cylinder: The hydraulic cylinder controls the opening and closing of the grab petals and is a crucial component for achieving the grabbing action. Its quality directly affects the equipment’s lifespan.

7 Core Features of Hydraulic Orange Peel Grab

1. Powerful Hydraulic Gripping Force: The excavator orange peel grapple adopts a high-pressure hydraulic cylinder drive. Multiple claws work synchronously to generate a strong clamping force, firmly grasping heavy scrap steel, rock piles, and bulky construction waste without slipping or falling.
2. 360° Unlimited Rotation Function: Equipped with a full hydraulic rotary motor, the orange peel grapple realizes 360° continuous free rotation. Workers can adjust the grabbing angle arbitrarily without moving the excavator host, greatly improving operation flexibility.
3. Wear-Resistant Alloy Steel Structure: Key claws and tooth tips are made of high-strength wear-resistant alloy steel with quenching treatment. It resists friction and impact during long-term heavy-load work, effectively extending service life.
4. Anti-Blocking Synchronized Claw Design: The multi-petal interlocking structure avoids material leakage and jamming. All claws open and close synchronously with stable action, adapting to scattered and irregular mixed materials efficiently.
5. Wide Excavator Compatibility: Standard quick-coupling interface matches most tonnage excavators and material handlers. It can be installed and disassembled quickly, turning a single excavator into multi-functional grabbing equipment.
6. Stable & Low Failure Operation: Optimized hydraulic loop and sealed waterproof structure prevent oil leakage and dust invasion. It runs stably in rainy, dusty, and high-temperature harsh working environments with a low failure rate.
7. High Working Efficiency & Labor Saving: One machine replaces manual stacking and grabbing work. It greatly shortens the material handling cycle, reduces labor costs, and significantly improves overall construction efficiency.

Real Customer Cases about Orange Peel Grapple

Case1: UK Urban Scrap Recycling Merchant

1. Client Background: UK local recycling businessman running a downtown scrap steel and construction waste sorting yard, equipped with 9-ton small excavators for compact indoor yard operation.
2. Difficulties: Narrow working space limits large-size attachments; the previous grab has a small opening width, frequent material dropping, and low handling volume, failing daily recycling targets.
3. Solution: Select YGO04A hydraulic orange peel grab, matching 9t excavator, max jaw opening 1200mm, 0.3m³ capacity, 355/420kg weight, working pressure 200bar.
4. Effect: Compact body fits tight yard layout; 5-jaw synchronous clamping reduces material spillage, and daily handling capacity rises over 40% steadily.
5. Client Feedback: “This small excavator orange peel grapple suits our city recycling perfectly, stable hydraulic performance improves our whole-site working efficiency.”

Case2: Nigeria Local Mine & Civil Engineering Firm

1. Client Background: Nigerian engineering contractor focusing on open-pit ore gathering and rural stone stockpiling, owns 20-ton heavy excavators for outdoor bulk rock handling.
2. Difficulties: Irregular big stones require a wide jaw opening; old grabs have insufficient clamping span and low volume, and repeated grabbing wastes plenty of construction time.
3. Solution: Adopt YGO08B orange peel grab for sale: fits 20t excavator, max open jaw 2500mm, 1m³ large capacity, working pressure 320bar, and 200~250lpm flow.
4. Effect: Super wide opening and big bucket volume finish one-time bulk stone grabbing, project progress is lifted remarkably under the local high-temperature dusty environment.
5. Client Feedback: “The heavy-duty orange peel grapple is durable and high-capacity, becoming a core attachment for our mine and road construction projects.”
