Engcon’s new sorting grab

Engcon has developed a new sorting grab specifically for mini excavators. The new grab, the SK02, is suited to use with mini excavators in the 1.5-3tonne class.

Like most of Engcon's hydraulic tools, the top bracket is bolt-on and can be easily adapted to the hitch that the digger-owner already has. The SK02 also has bolt-on cutting blades, prepared for digging teeth, and can be delivered with side cheeks so it can also be used as a clamshell bucket.
