The optimal grapple for permanent attachment to excavators emerge from the MultiGrip model series . These can be divided into multi-purpose andsorting grippers .

The multipurpose and sorting grapple from HULTDINS are used both in scrap handling and when setting stones , as a stone grapple, for clearing roots or as a tool in track construction .

The MultiGrip attachments have a very high market acceptance , especially in Northern Europe and in the construction industry . There they are often used as effective tools in paving , piping and landscaping , as well as in demolition activities .

Due to the interlocking of the claws , curb stones , girders , pipes and beams can be picked up, held and precisely positioned with the M ultiGrip grapple .
The MultiGrip grapple from HULTDINS is also the ideal tool for sorting demolition materials .

Up to now, the strong SuperGrip IS grapple or, alternatively, the MultiGrip grapple have often been used in track construction for handling tracks , sleepers or steel plates . There is now an even better , specialized solution for this aversion : the HULTDINS RailGrip 16 grapple

The starting point for the development of the RailGrip 16 grab was the need of a Canadian track construction company for a special grab, especially for maintaining lines on the Canadian Pacific Railway .

The application and area of application of this special gripper should be typical repair and maintenance work in track construction and maintenance work.

HULTDINS accepted the development order to develop a tailor-made grapple for this.

Requirements specification HULTDINS Multi-use grapple gripper RailGrip 16

The requirements catalog of the Canadian track construction company included a development with the following product properties and features :

• Transport and stacking of sleepers made of wood , steel and concrete

• Packing and holding of tracks , girders , sleepers and curb stones

• Combination with a HULTDINS grapple saw saw for quick and efficient processing of storm damage - freeing the route network of problem trees

• High wear resistance - long service life > 6000 h service life

• Compact design and low dead weight - for attachment to the recycling crane on the truck or mobile excavator

Innovative product development

Against the background of the requirements and tasks outlined, HULTDINS developed the RailGrip (RG) 16 grapple . It was trend -setting that proven components of the HULTDINS grippers were further developed for the RG 16 :

• The upper part was made from the latest version of the SuperGrip I 360-S . The bolt circles 6x17-173 and 6x21-203 mm are available, so that stronger rotators and the particularly stable assembly sets for grapple saws for Excavator can be mounted .

• The upper part can easily be adapted for permanent attachment .

• For Excavator up to 11.5 t operating weight, the RG 16 can be used together with the Rotator INDEXATOR XR300   can be used.

• Tension struts made of indestructible Cast steel .

• Cylinder with load holding valve and accumulator

• Shock safety : Shock loads on the cylinder are prevented by the mechanical stops of the claws.

• The 3 claws are made as a box profile - this makes them particularly strong , the used scraper strips made of Hardox .

• The tips of the claws run past each other at the same height . Objects clamped or grasped with the tip can thus be held securely .

• Due to the rectangular geometry of the claws , sleepers and girders can be held horizontally . A tooth profile is available for working with logs .

• The claw geometry is designed so that you can easily reach into a container along the wall . This design also favors the handling of round logs from a steaming pit , for example

• To divert the force of the cylinder, particularly large tubes made of OVAKO micro alloy steel are used. Even robust handling and a hard surface can hardly harm the grapple .

• Can be ideally combined with the HULTDINS SuperSaw 550 and SuperSaw 555 grapple saws saws

Derived from the specifications of the Canadian track construction company, HULTDINS developed a special gripper with universal use .
The RailGrip 16 is the right grapple for handling wooden , steel and concrete sleepers.

• Weight of 398 kg

• Permissible continuous load 5,000 kg

In use it quickly became apparent that the HULTDINS Multi-use grapple gripper RailGrip 16 is also very well suited for other tasks . The sturdy box profile tines enable precise lifting and lowering of large loads in the transverse direction . The setting of stones , the effective removal of root stocks or the targeted movement of scrap underline the versatility of the grapple .

As an attachment to an Excavator , the RG 16 can be combined with a HULTDINS SuperSaw 550 and used as a Felling grapple .
