Suitable for use on compact to mid-sized excavators, the AMC range is based on the larger RC series, and features an integral vacuum tank that affords an immediate supply of suction power to clamp onto materials.

Vacuum gauges and warning lights offer immediate visual communication to the operator, highlighting the attachment’s status.
