Clamshell bucket for bulk materials – KM 602 Kinshofer

A robust clamshell bucket for handling loose material as sand, gravel, soil – perfectly matched to heavy duty work on vehicle mounted cranes.
– Excellent filling characteristics of the rugged grapple due to the special shape of the buckets and the wide separation between their axes that enables wide opening.
– Practically no “left overs“ of the material to be picked up as the working edges are vertical when the buckets are open and allow a deep plunge into a pile of material.
– High stability through reinforced buckets, torsion-free frame, generously dimensioned bearing system and the use of 500 HB steel in the manufacture of cutting edges.
– Combination of compensator mechanism and cylinder guard has many advantages: parallel action, longer life for piston rod and seals, significant weight savings.
– Efficient handling with high closing forces (28 kN at an operating pressure of 26 MPa).
