The reliable asymmetric orange peel grapple KM 652/2 with half closing tines provides for an easy transport, resting flat against the crane arm and not protruding the width of the carrier machine. It is mainly used for handling scrap, waste and construction materials, and is available with 5 (KM 652-5/2) or 6 arms (KM 652-6/2) – depending on the task.
– Asymmetric construction: the grapple rests flat against the crane arm in its transport position (see below drawing).

– Counter-balance valve garantees a secure retention of loads even when pressure drops.
– Long service life due to robust design – oil distributor and hydraulic hoses are protected in the center part, generously dimensioned bearings, wear-resistant shells made of 400 HB steel, cylinder with piston rod protection, stops for both end postitions of tines.
– Strong operation due to high closing forces (13 kN at 26 MPa operating pressure).
