Kinshofer Demolition and Sorting Grabs

In general there are two different types available: with hydraulic cylinder or as version with the cylinderless HPXdrive drive unit. This does not only give you an up to 50% longer life cycle, but also high and constant closing forces while being low maintenance and very compact without any cylinders or short hose connection. The HPX-grabs also feature an integrated shell exchange systems and you have a 5 years warranty on the HPXdrive drive unit.

All Kinshofer Demolition and Sorting Grabs are compact, high-performance attachments designed for precise material handling, sorting, and demolition tasks. Built from high-strength materials with a robust design, they deliver reliable, low-maintenance operation. Offering excellent control and versatility, they are ideal for use in confined spaces and a wide range of construction and recycling applications.

They are engineered to provide precise, efficient handling of materials across demolition, recycling, and construction applications. Designed for compact excavators, they combine robust construction with excellent control, making them ideal for working in confined or restricted environments.

The grabs feature a durable, high-strength steel structure designed to withstand demanding conditions while maintaining long service life. Their compact and lightweight design ensures optimal performance without compromising the stability or efficiency of the carrier machine.

The standard cylinder versions feature powerful hydraulic cylinders, that deliver high closing forces for secure gripping and precise handling of a wide range of materials, including debris, timber, scrap, and mixed waste. The geometry of the tines is optimised to improve material retention and allow efficient sorting and separation directly on site.

A key advantage of the design is its versatility, enabling operators to carry out multiple tasks—such as sorting, loading, and light demolition—with a single attachment. This reduces the need for additional equipment and improves overall site efficiency.

Designed for compatibility with a variety of excavators up to 9 tonnes, the grabs can be easily integrated using standard mounting systems. Their reliable, low-maintenance construction ensures consistent performance even under continuous use, making them a cost-effective solution for contractors and operators.
