Lotus Grab (Orange Peel Grab): The Versatile Excavator Attachment Redefining Material Handling

Release time:

2025-11-19

In the world of heavy machinery and material handling, innovation continues to drive efficiency and versatility. One such advancement is the "Lotus Grab" — also widely known as the "Orange Peel Grab" — a high-performance excavator attachment engineered for demanding tasks across ports, steel mills, recycling yards, and construction sites. Designed for durability and adaptability, this multi-purpose tool is transforming how operators manage bulk materials.
What is the Lotus Grab (Orange Peel Grab)?
The Lotus Grab, or Orange Peel Grab, is a multi-jawed hydraulic attachment specifically designed for excavators and cranes. It mimics the gripping action of a hand, with 4 to 6 independently controlled jaws (or "petals") that open and close like a lotus flower, enabling precise and powerful handling of irregularly shaped materials. Its name derives from its visual resemblance to orange peels when fully opened.
Available in hydraulic and mechanical variants, the Lotus Grab is ideal for handling scrap metal, iron ore, coal, construction debris, and other bulky or fragmented materials.
Key Applications & Usage Scenarios:
1. Steel Mills & Scrap Yards
● Efficiently grabs and sorts scrap steel, rebar, and metal chunks.
● Ideal for feeding furnaces or loading transport vehicles.
● Replaceable wear-resistant manganese steel teeth ensure long service life in high-impact environments.
2. Ports & Logistics Terminals
● Handles bulk cargo such as iron ore, coal, and aggregates with high efficiency.
● Compatible with various crane systems (single, double, or quad rope configurations).
● Hydraulic models offer 360° rotation for enhanced maneuverability.
3. Waste Management & Recycling Facilities
● Perfect for sorting and moving mixed construction waste, demolition debris, and industrial byproducts.
● Used in auto dismantling yards to disassemble and segregate vehicles.
● Reduces manual labor and increases operational safety.
4. Construction & Demolition Sites
● Excels in tight or confined spaces where traditional buckets are ineffective.
● Can work on one side of a trench or foundation, minimizing equipment repositioning.
● Ideal for loading trucks, clearing debris, or handling large stones and rubble.
5. Environmental & Sustainable Projects
● Supports circular economy initiatives by enabling efficient sorting of recyclable materials.
● Used in biomass handling and green waste processing.
● Hydraulic models with proportional control optimize energy use and reduce spillage.
