Built for efficient sorting and handling, this excavator sorting grab features powerful hydraulic cylinders, replaceable reversible cutting edges, and optional 360° continuous rotation for versatile operation across both fixed and rotating configurations.

Features

Sorting Grab Series - Continuous 360° rotation

Continuous 360° rotation

Enables continuous rotation without any stops or restrictions thanks to a 360-degree rotating slew ring and fluid coupling. This allows operators to precisely position the grab to easily handle materials without the need to reposition the excavator.

01
Sorting Grab Series - high clamping forces with powerful cylinders

High clamping forces with powerful cylinders

Manufactured with advanced hydraulic systems to deliver consistent and strong clamping pressure. This ensures a firm grip on materials, while minimising the risk of materials dropping and allowing for handling of a wide variety of materials.

02
Sorting Grab Series - Replaceable and reversible cutting edges

Replaceable and reversible cutting edges

Cutting edges that can be replaced when worn out and are reversible, allowing for extended use. This extends the life of the grab, allowing for simple maintenance, without the need for replacement of the entire unit.

03
Sorting Grab Series - Powerful rams

Powerful rams

Larger models are equipped with dual rams, while smaller models are equipped with a single powerful ram. Both of these configurations include reinforced link arms to allow for precise cutting edge alignment. This allows for maximum power output in both models without compromising on strength and efficiency.

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! I have already ordered a ripper and will be saving up for a stick rake next!!

Hydraulic Grab

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

Great rock bucket. Very effective for separating large rocks out of fill material. The ripper tooth is solid and well fabricated. I am very satisfied with my purchase after several weeks of use.

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.

I recently took delivery of the 1200mm wide heavy duty stick rake from Aussie Buckets. I was very impressed with the price I received and the staff kept me up to date during the procurement process. I love the design and the quality. I would very much recommend this product and I will look to source some more attachments through them in the future!

Frequently asked questions

What is a sorting grab? A sorting grab is an excavator attachment with clamping jaws used to separate, pick and load mixed material on recycling, waste and demolition sites. It is also called a recycling or waste handling grab. Aussie Buckets sorting grabs cover 1 to 35 tonne machines across fourteen builds.
Fixed or rotating sorting grab: which do I need? A fixed grab is simpler, cheaper and fine where material moves from a heap to a bin in roughly one direction. A rotating grab turns the jaw to the target without moving the machine, which is what sustained sorting into multiple streams asks for. Throughput usually decides it.
What is the difference between a sorting grab and a demolition grab? A sorting grab is built for separating and loading material that is already down, with higher throughput and lighter construction. A demolition grab is heavier with serrated jaws built to bite into concrete and steel during a pull. Sorting for the yard, demolition for the structure.
What size sorting grab fits my excavator? Fourteen builds span 1 to 35 tonne machines, with jaw opening, clamping force, weight and flow requirement listed per build. Send your machine make, model and auxiliary circuit figures along with the material streams you are handling and we will match the build.
How much does a sorting grab cost? Aussie Buckets sorting grabs start at $3,275. Price moves with machine class, jaw opening and whether the build is fixed or rotating, and 0% finance is available on approved purchases. Every grab is protected by a 5-year warranty.
