New multi-purpose handling and excavating bucket

Gensco introduces the Grapner, a new multi-purpose bucket/grab designed specifically for use on truck mounted cranes. In addition to handling loose material, rocks etc. it also can be used to excavate when suspended from a hydraulic boom - without any stress or strain on the crane. It allows the operator to 'reach' over a distance - depending on boom length - and dig remotely.

The variable geometry design with hydraulically articulating bucket shells enables solid ground penetration while digging in all terrain types. The Grapner is equipped with a moving ejector to scrape off materials that might stick to the buckets The shells can work together or independently in various applications, such as excavation, landscaping, subterraneous piping, and material/rock handling.
