Features

Hydraulic Grab - Oversized single ram

Oversized single ram

Unlike many dual ram setups, our single ram setup increases reliability and minimises the need for maintenance due to fewer potential failure points. A single oversized ram can deliver consistent and powerful force during operation, while remaining safely protected between the ears, reducing the exposure to external impacts and potential damage.

01
Hydraulic Grab - manifold distribution blocks and balance valves

Manifold distribution blocks & balance valves

Hydraulic hoses are routed into the distribution blocks, then to the grab’s main manifold block. This prevents damage to the main cylinder in case of a snagged hose, facilitating easier maintenance. Relief valves protect the hydraulic system from potential damage, ensuring there is no need for costly repairs.

02
Hydraulic Grab - Five-finger interlocked webbed design

Five-finger interlocked webbed design

Box plate design with five interlocking fingers, providing superior strength and efficiency when grabbing. Securely handle various sized objects, while maintaining maximum opening capacity. This makes our Hydraulic Grab ideal for extensive lifting, carrying or loading operations such as cleaning, log grabbing, demolition and recycling.

03
Hydraulic Grab - Top-of-the-line wear protection

Top-of-the-line wear protection

Hard-facing welds on tips and reinforced plating which increases the lifetime of the grab by providing additional wear resistance and creating additional strength, allowing for increased attachment longevity. Hoses come with wire guards to prevent hose damage during operation, particularly in extreme work environments.

Built to fit the machine you run

Nothing here is an off-the-shelf pattern that you have to make work. Every unit is manufactured to your machine's tonnage, hitch and pin centres, so it bolts up to Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Kobelco, Volvo, CASE, Kubota, Yanmar and Takeuchi alike. Send us the make, model and pin sizes and we match the bracket before it ships - if your machine isn't on this list, it still fits.

Mechanical Grab

We bought a mechanical grab for 20T excavator. Good communication during the whole process via email or phone. Good quality product which we haven't had a problem with at all. They also offered to help install when we picked up but was not required. All departments from order to pickup were very helpful.

Hydraulic Grab

The hydraulic grab is better than any Christmas pressi. I use it on my farm dealing with trees and firewood. Also pipe laying. Try lifting 450 dia 12m long HDPE pipe and the grab fits perfect. OK the little Kubota knows it got a big fish on the hook but I can do what I can't do otherwise. Great choice - by me, great product thanks to you.

Hydraulic Grab & Auger

Great company to deal with. Excellent quality hydraulic grab attachment. The company was so nice to deal with I placed another order for a different attachment. Also kept me updated on my order from start to finish. Received my new auger and it is an amazing piece of kit coupled with a 350mm auger and I got the 1m extension also. Had a bit of time to test everything out and the grab is great for moving posts rocks and anything else to save my back. The auger has plenty of torque and because I'm in a bit of rocky ground I got the combination auger and it's busting through it quite well. Still very happy with my order and Aussie Buckets support and after sale check in just to see how everything is going.

Huge thanks to Hayden and the whole team at Aussie Buckets!! Great price and really fantastic service. I purchased a hydraulic grab for my 305CR, great communication from the team throughout the order and delivery process and the attachment went straight onto the machine effortlessly and is very well built!

We bought a hydraulic grab for our 5t excavator from Aussie Buckets and couldn't be happier. The square edged jaws help with gripping material while filtering out the dirt. So far, our customers have loved using it

Recently bought a ripper and a rake for a 8ton digger, both great quality attachments. The guys at Aussie buckets are very easy to deal with, straight forward for ordering and purchasing. The rake is great for any job in grass or vegetation, even when mixed with rocks or rubbish.

Frequently asked questions

What is a hydraulic grab? A hydraulic grab is an excavator attachment with hydraulically driven jaws that grip and lift material a bucket cannot hold: rubble, timber, scrap and bulk waste. It is also called a hydraulic grapple or orange peel grab. Aussie Buckets hydraulic grabs cover 1 to 50 tonne machines across ten builds.
What size hydraulic grab fits a 1.7 tonne excavator? The range starts at 1 tonne, so a 1.7 tonne machine is covered by the smallest builds, with maximum openings from 400 mm. Widths and finger counts are made to order rather than picked from a fixed range, so send your machine details and what you are handling and we will specify it.
What is the difference between a hydraulic grab and a grapple? Nothing. The terms are used interchangeably in the Australian market, along with orange peel grab and muck grab. All describe a hydraulically driven jaw attachment for handling loose and irregular material. What matters is the jaw profile and opening, not which word the supplier uses.
Can a hydraulic grab handle rock and demolition rubble? Yes, and it is one of the main applications. The five-finger interlocked webbed design holds irregular rubble that would fall out of a wider-spaced jaw, and the wear protection is specified for abrasive material. Tell us the material with your enquiry so the finger count and plating are matched to it.
Hydraulic grab or mechanical grab: which do I need? A hydraulic grab closes on its own ram and grips independently of the boom, which gives far better control. A mechanical grab closes on the machine's own curl and needs no auxiliary circuit at all. Choose hydraulic for control and production, mechanical when the machine has no spare circuit.
How much does a hydraulic grab cost? Aussie Buckets hydraulic grabs start at $2,075. Price moves with machine class, opening and finger specification, and 0% finance is available on approved purchases. Every grab is protected by a 5-year warranty and lifetime technical support.
