Grab Bucket Features (60-Degree Tilt Angle)

Unlike standard scrap grabs, our buckets feature a leak-proof design engineered to operate at a 60-degree inclination without operational loss. Equipped with high-performance tilt sensor to maintains high level control. This advanced engineering is critical for high-efficiency loading and unloading in deep-pit municipal waste or irregular scrap mounds where vertical alignment is impossible.

Orange Peel Grab: FAQ

An orange peel grab (also called a cactus grab or polyp grab) is a multi-tine hydraulic attachment with 3 to 8 HARDOX steel tines that close from all sides to grip and lift irregular bulk material. It is used to load, unload, sort, and transfer scrap metal, rock, boulders, municipal solid waste (MSW), industrial biomass, and iron ore. APR Bright Industries manufactures hydarulic, electro-hydraulic and mechanical types of orange peel grabs in 0.35–50 m³ capacity. Also, a 60° operational tilt for deep-pit and irregular-mound handling in steel plants, scrap yards, ports, and Waste-to-Energy facilities.
APR Bright Industries orange peel grabs are engineered to handle high-density scrap metal (HMS 1&2, shredded, meta, cast iron), rocks and boulders, municipal solid waste (MSW), industrial biomass, iron ore, and demolition debris. Designed with HARDOX 500/600 tines with interchangeable teeth handle bulk materials with density up to 3.5 t/m³. The 60° full-closing-force tilt design enables operation in deep waste pits and irregular scrap mounds where vertical alignment is not possible — a critical advantage for WtE pit operations and deep scrap yards, ports.
APR Bright Industries manufactures orange peel grabs from 0.35 m³ to 50 m³. Tine configuration (3, 4, 5, 6, or 8 tines), tine shape (pointed or blunt), and bucket volume are all customised per the specific bulk density (t/m³) and material type of your application. Maximum lifting capacity is 40 metric tons. All hydraulic and electro-hydraulic models include 360° continuous rotation as standard. Custom capacities beyond 50 m³ are available on request.
APR Bright Industries manufactures four orange peel grab types: (1) Electro-Hydraulic — powered by the crane’s electrical supply, ideal for overhead cranes in steel plants, foundries, and WtE facilities; provides high-pressure grip with no external hydraulic unit required. (2) Hydraulic — for excavators, loaders, ship cranes, and mobile cranes, featuring 360° continuous rotation for precise scrap sorting and placement. (3) Mechanical Rope — single, two, or four-rope winch operation, no external power source required, ideal for older crane systems.
