Mechanical Grab
Elevate efficiency with our Mechanical Grab, also known as Manual Grab, Static Grab & Stiff Arm Grab. Featuring reinforced plating & hard-faced tips, a 5-finger interlocking design and quick-release arm, this grab can securely grip objects with precision & provides easy installation with low maintenance requirements. Our updated design features massive opening capabilities and strong bite force, capable of moving large and heavy loads with ease. Moreover, high-quality carbon steel pins & the torsional beam ensure even wear distribution & a prolonged lifespan.
Made with 400-grade steel with an additional 345 wear-resistant plates on high contact points. Upgrades to HARDOX and Bisalloy steels are available for enhanced durability along with customisations for a range of widths & finger quantity configurations.
All Mechanical Grabs come standard with our comprehensive 5-year warranty and Free Servicing Kit (valued up to $3,063) which comes with a spare fix arm.*Pictured model: 20-24T Mechanical Grab
Large Opening & Bite Force: A larger opening and greater bite force when compared to hydraulic grabs which allows for larger and heavier loads to be handled. A higher bite force enables more secure and efficient material handling.
Reinforced Plating & Hard-Faced Tips: Hard-facing welds on tips and reinforced plating which increases the lifespan of the grab by providing additional wear resistance and creating additional strength, allowing for increased attachment longevity.
Five-Finger Interlocked Webbed Design: Five interlocking fingers provides superior strength and efficiency when grabbing. Securely handle various sized objects, while maintaining maximum opening capacity. This makes our Mechanical Grab ideal for extensive lifting, carrying or loading operations such as cleaning, log grabbing, demolition work and recycling.
Quick Release Arm: Mechanism to allow for easy mount/dismount, saving time with attachment changes and improving overall operational efficiency.
Integrated Torsional Bar: Transfer mechanical load evenly through the torsional bar at the top of both grab arms. This improves lateral strength and handling capabilities which increases the grab’s durability and lifespan.
Customisable: Get the perfect fit with customisable material selection, finger widths and finger quantities, ensuring it meets specific jobsite requirements with optimal efficiency.
Durability: Reinforced plating, hard-facing tips, abrasion resistance and hardened bushes all help to ensure product durability and longevity.
Replaceable Wear Protection & Spares: Replaceable bushes & pins & a FREE Servicing Kit (RRP up to $3,063 ) that includes a spare fix arm.

Aussie Buckets were very professional from start to finish with my recent purchase of a Ripper. Great product, price and service.
Craig Drew
I made an initial inquiry to Aussie Buckets from their FB post. One of their sales team got back to me promptly. They were not pushy and quoted me on my inquiry for a bucket to suit my machine. Price was fair and i made the decision to place an order. The process was smooth and great communication along the way. I collected the bucket and was pleased with the way it turned out. Will return to Aussie buckets for any additional needs in the future and also happy to share my recommendations. Thanks to the team at Aussie Buckets. 👍🏼

Des Bell
I'm extremely happy with my new Hydraulic Grab from Aussie Buckets. The price was great, the service was on point and the product is of a high quality. It has certainly saved me a lot of time and energy.
Tom Koeller
Slight delays as is expected in the current climate but what was nice to see was the constant communication. Bucket arrived and very happy with the quality.
Chris Matthews
The team at Aussie Buckets went above and beyond to help me decide on buying a Hammer for my 5t excavator. From the numerous phone calls and emails to the warehouse walk through to show me what I would be purchasing. For literally under half the price of the competition for a product that does not disappoint and has a warranty that is in some cases 5x the competition! Thanks guys I will be certainly buying more products from you in the future! Regards, Concise Civil Group
Antonie Papazoglov
I am very happy with my Log Grabber. I can pick up rocks and heavy logs. Aussie Buckets were great to deal with, very happy.
Anthony Ciantar
Excellent service experience with Aussie Buckets. When I received my bucket it was well packed and supported on the pallet, this item has definitely made my job easier. Thanks Aussie Buckets.
Chris Scott
Aussie Buckets for the win. Hydraulic grab is awesome; strong bite and great price - would fully recommend buying.
Chris Ahearn
New Stick Rake from Aussie Buckets. Can do a range of different things around home. Easy, great fit.
David Toogood
I've just bought the quick hitch and it's an absolute weapon.
Ken M
I've had an Aussie Buckets Hydraulic Grab now for almost 2 years and it hasn't missed a beat. Don't let the affordable price fool you, I have punished and lifted weights that far exceed the recommended limits and my grab is just as good as the day I bought it. I've cleared so much land and completed so much heavy logging with this grab that its paid for itself ten times over. Now, I am mainly using the Grab for my sawmill and building larg log structures, again this product has excelled. Initially we were hesitant making a purchase as there is a small wait time, this wasn't a problem as communication was excellent and they only required a 50% deposit to make the order. Hope this review gives confidence buying.

Great service, quick delivery and I cannot get my husband off his excavator! Tackles big and small jobs with ease, highly reccomend :)
Rosy Caldow
From start to finish this was a great experience. Nothing was a problem and I personally spoke to people, constantly getting updates. I picked up the Stick Rake from the Melbourne warehouse and another great experience with the team there. I have put a good amount of hours on the rake and it’s a great product.
Craig Hanrahan
Bought a Hydraulic Thumb and a Ripper for my 8.5 tonne Takeuchi. Have had a few mechanical issues with my machine so I've only been able to start using the thumb today. So far so good, I have never had a thumb before so it took a while to get the hang of it but all good now. Communication from the company was good, and the products turned up pretty close to the estimated delivery date at the time of purchase. I am thinking of buying a Sieve Bucket through Aussie Buckets as my initial experience was good. Prices seem to be fair.

From valuable information when enquiring about a grab for my mini excavator to the delivery. Aussie Buckets has been helpful and well worth it becoming a customer. I got a better suited attachment than I initially thought I needed, had timely and accurate email contact with smooth and on time delivery. The Hydraulic Grab was just what I needed to build the rock wall.
Chris Kummer
Aussie Buckets delivered exactly what they said they would. They were very helpful with initial advice all the way through to ensuring the dimensions were correct before finalising the order. The Grab Bucket is a great addition to my 5T excavator.

Recently purchased a new 300mm trenching bucket and ripper from the team at Aussie buckets and am extremely happy with the build quality of both products. Both the ripper and bucket are extensively reinforced and will definitely go the distance and get the job done. I recently completed two 250 meter trenches through hill gravel and rock and the bucket didn’t brake a sweet. And their customer support and order progress reports are excellent.

Fitted perfectly basis the dimensions given by me at order and they are great to deal with as they keep you in the loop during the manufacture process.

From the price to the service, all the way through to the product, has been nothing but exceptional. Unlike other bucket manufacturers that just sell their standard design, AB will go the extra length to make the attachments work for you.

We recently purchased a Tilting Hitch to attach to our 3.8T Sunward excavator. The head come with all the required hydraulic fittings and extras. Sam fitted the Tilting Hitch to our machine in about 30 minutes. The Tilting Hitch is made well and is of high quality. The Tilt Hitch has improved the operations of our machine. Service from Aussie Buckets has been excellent and prices are very competitive.
