    Mechanical Grab For Excavators

    Bergamini

    When the work is tough and the conditions are unforgiving, you need an attachment that won’t back down. Machinery Specialist MSG contractor grabs are premier, heavy-duty mechanical attachments engineered specifically to thrive in Australia’s most demanding work environments. From the relentless abrasion of scrap metal yards to the high-impact realities of demolition sites and the continuous cycles of waste management, our grabs deliver unmatched durability and reliability.

    Engineered from Unyielding Strength

    At the core of every MSG grab is the use of 400 high-grade wear plate steel. This isn’t just steel; it’s a strategic choice for superior performance. This specialised material provides exceptional hardness and toughness, offering high resistance to the gouging, scraping, and impacts that are a daily reality in heavy industries. This robust construction means less downtime for repairs, a significantly longer service life, and a greater return on your investment, even when handling the most abrasive materials.

    Purpose-Built for Australia’s Toughest Jobs

    We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. That’s why we have purpose-built our mechanical grabs to master the unique challenges of key sectors:

    • Demolition: Efficiently sort and handle concrete, timber, and steel rebar. The robust design allows for pulling down structures and precise material handling, streamlining site cleanup and material processing.
    • Scrap Metal: Confidently grasp and sort all types of metal. The grab’s exceptional strength and wear resistance make it ideal for loading shears and balers, and enduring the constant contact with sharp, heavy, and abrasive scrap.
    • Waste Management: Power through bulk waste with ease. Whether at a transfer station or a recycling facility, our grabs are designed for high-cycle efficiency in handling municipal solid waste (MSW), construction and demolition (C&D) debris, and green waste.
