Helac expands PowerGrip product line

Helac Corporation announces the expansion of their line of PowerGrip Multi-Purpose Buckets to meet demand for 20-ton excavators and backhoes. Designed as a general purpose excavating bucket, PowerGrip also performs as a versatile, durable tool used as a trenching, grading or clamshell bucket, and as a grapple or hydraulic thumb. PowerGrip increases the tasks a single machine can perform, improving machine efficiency and reducing the number of dedicated-task machines and attachments needed on the job site. Designed to deliver immediate productivity improvement, PowerGrip is a ready-to-use, pin-on attachment that is easy to install and operate. There is no welding, fabrication or in-field measurement required to install or remove the PowerGrip bucket.

PowerGrip is available in three models, sized according to machine weight, for excavators and backhoes up to 45,000 lbs. All product models are offered in a variety of bucket widths. Trenching and ditching profiles are available for select models.

PowerGrip can be used in combination with Helac PowerTilt, a rugged swing attachment, for added hand-like manipulation and dexterity.

PowerGrip features include:
- A single bucket for multiple functions offers built-in versatility: gripping with jaw, material handling with clam, finish grading with smooth lip and general excavating with teeth;
- Exceptional resilience to shock loads results from the innovative, sliding gear operating concept that distributes loads equally;
- Standard OEM lugging ensures easy installation and removal for increased efficiency and productivity;
- Enclosed rotary actuator hinge design eliminates exposed moving parts and obstructions in bucket shell or clam for increased reliability and longer life;
- High strength, abrasion resistant steel is used for added durability;
- Quick coupler compatibility makes machine or tool changes fast and easy;
- Fast operation when grabbing, gripping and dumping allows for more work to get done in less time;
- Consistent holding force through 120 degrees of movement.
