Scrap Handling Grabs
We use smart technology in our scrap handling grabs to increase flexibility and keep them ready to work in any environment. Built-in features reduce noise while increasing performance and durability. Our metal recycling grabs are designed to operate with electric material handlers, cranes, and overhead cranes for heavy-duty applications, loading and unloading iron scrap, waste iron, ore, stone, and pig iron across steel mills, sugar plants, solid waste facilities, and ports.

Built for Your Material and Your Crane
We offer two customized scrap grab configurations — hydraulic orange peel grabs, and electro-hydraulic orange peel grabs — each manufactured with a different, purpose-built structure.
Watch the grab in action alongside the specification breakdown below, to see exactly how the mechanism handles bulk scrap on-site.
Hydraulic Scrap Handling Machines
Our hydraulic scrap handling machines come with a self-regulated piston that delivers maximum force, with the oil tank and cylinder fully protected. We build hydraulic scrap handling grabs to match your material’s drive mechanism and density — handling scrap metal, rubber, steel scrap, stone, solid waste, pig iron, baled scrap, industrial heavy waste, pellets, and more.
Get customized scrap handling grabs in any variety, fully functional and push-button operated. We also provide repair, spares, and modification. Our scrap handling grabs are convenient and capable, consuming less power with no risk of electrical damage — easy to maintain and operate even at high production volume.
Electro-Hydraulic Scrap Handling Machines
What makes a scrap handling machine electro-hydraulic is its electric engine, pump, and electro-hydraulic valves. This configuration offers high capacity and speed with noise-free, built-in technology. We customize the grab bucket to match your material and your crane’s capacity.

Scrap Handling Grab: FAQ
The best hydraulic orange peel grab is manufactured using high-tensile steel to ensure durability under heavy impact. It should be capable of handling various materials, including pig iron, rod scrap, and loose iron, with smooth, noise-free hydraulic functions. APR Bright Industries provides fully customized scrap handling solutions to match your specific crane or excavator setup.
The capacity of a scrap handling grab is not fixed — it’s designed based on your unique material handling requirements. We evaluate the material density and the lifting capacity of your existing machinery to engineer a grab that maximizes your operational throughput.
