Multi-purpose clamshell bucket – KM 605U HPX HD Kinshofer

The KM 605U HPX is a powerful clamshell bucket using the HPXdrive Heavy Duty for handling and easy digging tasks. The open shells enable the handling of bulky materials. Non-return valve, welded hooks and reversible wear plates are delivered on each grapple. The revolutionary HPXdrive technology guarantees a reliable and virtually maintenance free attachment.
– Reliability of the HPXdrive! The movement of the arms of the grapple is generated by two hollow shafts, which run opposed and have a helix thread, hydraulically driven by a single piston. No more hydraulic cylinder.
– Longer life cycle up to 50%! Self-lubrication: The drive unit runs in a permanent oil bath. The compact design makes the HPXdrive resistant to dirt and debris.
– Versatility with different types of shells that can easily be refitted onto the driving unit.
– Profitability through low maintenance costs and longer life cycle.
– Precise handling with the gear-type KINSHOFER rotator and shells synchronised by the single piston turning both shafts of the HPXdrive.
– Rotator with shaft is available as an alternative, in case a quick change to a non-rotating hook is favoured.
– Constant closing force (28 kN at 32 MPa operating pressure) over the entire opening and closing process; high efficiency provided by hydro static bearings of the axes.
