Used Grapples / clamshells for sale (61)

Grapples and clamshells are types of attachments commonly used in construction, demolition, and material handling. Grapples are designed with two or more tines or claws that open and close to grab objects, making them suitable for tasks such as sorting, loading, and moving materials like scrap, waste, or timber. Varieties include rotating and non-rotating grapples, each tailored for different application needs. Clamshells, on the other hand, operate similarly but are specifically designed to dig and pick up loose material. They have two bucket-like halves that can scoop up materials such as soil, sand, and gravel. They are often seen on cranes and excavation machines where precision and control over material handling are necessary. Both attachments enhance the versatility and efficiency of heavy equipment, allowing for specialized tasks that standard buckets cannot accomplish.
