Engcon has released a new finger grab attachment for excavators for lifting landclearing debris, from twigs to logs.
It is compatible with excavators ranging from 9 to 22 metric tons. It comes standard with Engcon’s EC-Oil system, which enables operators to quickly connect and disconnect hydraulic attachments without leaving the cab, including hydraulic hoses.
The finger grab can be used with a tiltrotator, or directly attached to the arm when extra force is needed, according to Engcon.
The grab has reinforced arms, which the company says makes it designed for heavy-duty tasks. The arms open “smoothly and softly” and prevent jamming, Engcon says.
