Designed for fast, productive material handling and sorting of various shaped materials.Cat® Demolition & Sorting Grapples are designed for fast, productive material handling. Capable of high-volume, production loading and precise sorting, they enhance the productivity and efficiency of your operation. The grapples can handle anything from primary and secondary demolition to recycling to get the job done.

Cat® G308 Demolition and Sorting Grapple Overview

Vertically Perforated Side Plates

Better load visibility and easier positioning. Plates are hardened to HB450 standards providing higher wear resistance.

Specially Designed Pins

Oversized pins have high resistance against torque forces and increased durability. Grooved bushings allow for easy greasing.

Optimally Designed Linkage

Minimal height increase when opening and closing. Optimal cylinder guidance ensures high clamp forces during closing.

Oversized Cylinder with Load Holding Valve

Ensures even, high clamping force to prevent loss of load. Load holding valve keeps clamp force constant even when maneuvering grapple or machine to ensure controlled load movement.

Slim Design

Easier maneuvering within building construction or containers in demolition and recycling applications. Optimal jumper lines routing avoids damage.

Robust Bolt-on Cutting Edge

Provides high wear lifetime. Plow bolts utilize recessed nuts and are fully protected.

High Displacement Motor

Robust hydraulic design maximizes rotation torque and optimizes rotation speed.

Widest Frame in Class

Strong design protects internal components from debris damage.

Oval Service Access Panels

Easy service through two access panels; one on front and one on back.
