G208 Multi-Purpose Grapple

Grapple Area
2.8 ft²
Weight
619.5 lb
Machine Class
7-10 Ton Mini Excavators

Cat® Multi-Purpose Grapples are designed to allow maximum maneuverability with Cat Tiltrotators. The integrated bracket has a minimal offset to optimize the performance of thegrapplefunctionality. The Multi-Purpose Grapple works best in material handling applications where irregular surface materials are used, such as concrete pipe, curbs, trees, brush and other hardscape used in landscaping.

Features

  • Integrated Bracket

    Integrated Bracket

    Integrated bracket specifically designed for the hydraulic TRS attachments to ensure load forces are always evenly distributed providing a smoother operation.

  • Integrated Cylinder Load Holding Valve

    Integrated Cylinder Load Holding Valve

    Load holding valve maintains grapple closing pressure with zero leakage.

  • Integrated Jumper Lines

    Integrated Jumper Lines

    Higher and shorter routing offers superior protection against damage, dirt and debris.

  • Hard Mounted Piston Accumulator

    Hard Mounted Piston Accumulator

    Hard mounted piston accumulator reduces potential leaks and decreases hydraulic response time.

  • Double Connecting Rods

    Double Connecting Rods

    Double connecting rods provide optimal open and close force guidance on both sides of the cylinder.

  • Pins and Bushings

    Pins and Bushings

    Integrated pin joint lip seals keep grease in and dirt out.

  • High Strength Steel Grapple Arms

    High Strength Steel Grapple Arms

    Arms hardened to AR450 and edges hardened to AR500/HB500 standards provide higher strength and longer wear in rough conditions.

  • Torque Tube

    Torque Tube

    Grapple arm paddle design has an integrated torque tube with 360 degrees welded connection from grapple arms and cylinder hinge plate. This helps to more evenly distribute load forces throughout the structure.

  • Double Mechanical Stops

    Double Mechanical Stops

    Double mechanical stops prevent over closing and help ensure optimal functionality.

  • Welded Box Structure

    Welded Box Structure

    Welded box structure supports pivot points which help to avoid any bending/twisting torques in the radial direction. Box structure also increases the reliability of hydraulic components as they are protected in a closed-in box housing, with access panels on both sides.

  • Grapple Stability

    Grapple Stability

    Remains stable and vertical, allowing operator to quickly engage or disengage a TRS bottom side quick coupler for ease of picking up the multi purpose grapple.

  • Optimal TRS8 Matching

    Optimal TRS8 Matching

    The G208 multi-purpose grapple was designed to function optimally when paired with the TRS8 using the TRS bracket system.
