Overview
Quick answerHydraulic rotating grapple with M+S motor and slewing bearing for 1.5–45 t excavators. Handles logs, rock, scrap and pipes.
Our rotating grapple combines a 360° slewing bearing drive with interlocking tines that close fully on small material and open wide on logs and boulders. It loads timber, places armour stone, sorts scrap and handles pipe faster and more safely than a bucket and thumb.
Typical applications
- Timber loading
- Rock and riprap placement
- Scrap and recycling
- Land clearing

Frequently asked questions
How many hydraulic circuits are needed?
Two: one for open/close and one for rotation; a diverter kit is available for one-circuit machines.
Can I place rocks precisely?
Yes, the rotation brake holds the load and allows fine positioning.
Does a rotating grapple need extra hydraulic lines?
A 360° rotating grapple needs two circuits – one to open/close and one to rotate. If your machine has only one auxiliary circuit we can supply a solenoid diverter valve kit.
Which grapple is best for scrap handling?
Orange-peel grapples are the standard for loose scrap and bulk material; sorting grapples are better for mixed demolition waste and recycling.
