Used Kinshofer 5 Tine 0.75 Yd Grapple | ID: 669

Engineered for high-volume scrap, recycling, and severe-duty demolition, this premium 5-tine orange peel grapple is built to withstand extreme mechanical forces while maintaining structural integrity. Designed with a focus on maximized uptime, every critical hydraulic and mechanical component is fully armored against impact damage, debris intrusion, and wear.

Advanced Hydraulic Armoring & Control

The core hydraulic system features heavy-duty cylinders fitted with replaceable piston rod protection and integrated hydraulic cushioning to mitigate shock loads during rapid cycling. To prevent catastrophic hose snags and failures, all oil distribution networks and hydraulic hoses are safely routed and protected deep within the carrier housing. Rotational force is driven by a robust, fully integrated rotation system utilizing a sturdy slewing ring with internal hose routing, guaranteeing optimum force transmission while preventing hose breakage. A built-in pressure relief valve automatically protects the system against overcharge, while the sealed swivel and bevel assemblies ensure long-term grease retention and fluid isolation. For ease of maintenance, both the rotary feedthrough and drive motor are directly accessible.

Heavy-Duty Structural Reinforcement

Built for severe scrap yard environments, the grapple is engineered with reinforced tines constructed from highly durable 400HB wear-resistant steel. The high-wear piercing points feature heavy-duty weld-on tips made of high-resistant forged and tempered 500HB steel to maintain sharpness and structural shape under high-penetration forces. Precise mechanical tolerances and accurate fittings eliminate tine distortion under side-loading stress, while solid physical end stops control both the maximum open and close limits to protect the chassis from over-travel. The high-stress articulation joints are secured via reinforced, oversized bolts resting on large bearing surfaces, paired with specially coated solid steel bushings to drastically lower friction and prolong pivot life.
