When traditional buckets become inefficient in front of intricate piles of scrap metal, and when bulk wood and stone materials require more precise grabbing and sorting, what you need is not a stronger arm, but a more dexterous and powerful “hand”. This is precisely the mission for which the orange peel grapple was created. With its unique multi-jaw grabbing design, it is designed to completely solve the problem of handling bulk and irregular materials, transforming your excavator from a single excavating tool into an efficient and multi-functional platform that can tackle multiple challenges such as scrap steel recycling, port hold cleaning, and construction waste disposal.【WhatsApp/WeChat/Phone】+86 13837122632

How Does the Orange Peel Grapple Address Grabbing Challenges?
Faced with complex materials, traditional equipment often finds itself helpless. YG’s Orange Peel Grapple solves problems from the source of design:
- Challenge 1: Inability to grab firmly. The multi-jaw bionic structure can wrap irregular objects 360 degrees, such as twisted steel bars and waste tires, achieving multi-point force bearing for firm grabbing without slipping.
- Challenge 2: Low efficiency. The ultra-large opening and deep bucket design enable a single-cycle grabbing volume that far exceeds that of ordinary buckets, making it particularly suitable for scenarios that pursue loading capacity, such as scrap steel recycling and port bulk cargo hold cleaning.
- Challenge 3: Fast wear and tear. For waste material handling with severe wear, the key components of the orange peel grapple are reinforced with wear-resistant steel plates, significantly extending its service life.

Stable Control of High-Performance Hydraulic Orange Peel Grab
Powerful grabbing force cannot be achieved without a reliable core system. YG’s hydraulic orange peel grab adopts a reinforced oil cylinder and a closed-loop hydraulic control system, bringing a subversive operating experience:
- Rapid response: The optimized design of the hydraulic circuit ensures that the opening and closing actions of the jaws are synchronized with the control commands, with no sense of delay, enabling precise material release and placement.
- Constant force: Even during long-term high-pressure operations, the system can maintain stable output pressure, avoiding the attenuation of grabbing force caused by increased oil temperature and ensuring all-weather operation efficiency.

How Does the Orange Peel Grapple Excel in Four Core Fields?
The versatility of this orange peel grab bucket makes it the first choice in multiple industries:
- Waste recycling yards: It can quickly sort and load various types of metal waste, and is a magic tool for improving the site turnover rate.
- Building demolition and renovation: It can efficiently clean construction waste mixed with wood, metal, and concrete blocks, and conduct preliminary classification.
- Wood and paper industry: It grabs logs, wood chips, etc., without damaging the wood surface, ensuring efficient handling.
- Port and railway freight yards: It is used for the transfer and arrangement of bulk cargo such as coal and sand, and its anti-spill feature reduces material waste.

Your Exclusive Excavator Orange Peel Grapple Solution
Can standard products not meet all your needs? YG Machinery provides in-depth customization services. Whether it is a special jaw shape (such as extended sharp teeth for wood, or wide blunt teeth for stones), a specific opening width, or the need to adapt to the hydraulic interface of a special brand of excavator, our engineering team can turn your needs into reality. Tell us about your specific working conditions and challenges—”just share your needs, and leave the rest to us”.
Matching the Best Orange Peel Grapple Based on Your Excavator and Working Conditions
Choosing the right model is crucial. With reference to the parameter table above, you can make a decision based on the following two points:
- Matching the main machine tonnage: Be sure to select a grab bucket within the recommended tonnage range for your excavator. An overly heavy one will affect mobility and fuel consumption, while an overly light one will fail to bring the full efficiency of the main machine into play.
- Clarifying core needs: If you mainly handle light and loose materials (such as plastic and wood chips), you can choose the B series with larger capacity; if you handle heavy and dense materials (such as scrap iron and stones), you need to give priority to the A series with a more robust structure.

How Can the Orange Peel Grapple Create Value for You Quickly?
Purchasing attachments is an investment, and its return is reflected in the following aspects:
- Direct efficiency improvement: Faster and fuller grabbing reduces the number of operation cycles, directly increasing the daily workload.
- Cost reduction: It reduces repeated operations and fuel consumption caused by unstable grabbing. At the same time, the low failure rate design lowers maintenance and downtime costs.
- Business expansion: It enables your equipment to undertake more types of material handling projects, enhancing market competitiveness.
In conclusion, YG Machinery’s orange peel grab bucket is far more than a simple auxiliary tool; it is a professional solution that has undergone precise calculation and is designed to maximize the productivity of your equipment and the return on investment. From its outstanding versatility, unbreakable durability to flexible customization services, it represents the advanced level of modern material handling technology. Choosing YG is not just choosing a product, but choosing a professional partner committed to promoting the continuous growth of your business.【WhatsApp/WeChat/Phone】+86 13837122632
