Rotating Hydraulic Grab
A hydraulic grab with powered rotation grips and orients suitable irregular material for sorting and placement.
When to choose it
- Orienting suitable rocks for placement
- Sorting and loading demolition material
- Handling suitable timber and other irregular material
When it’s not the right call
- Unapproved pipe lifting. A grab is not automatically a certified pipe-lifting or structural-placement device.
- Poor load retention. Load geometry, grip and the handling method must keep the material controlled.
- Unrestricted digging. A grab's handling duty does not establish that it can excavate or demolish every material.
Sizes we work with
4.5T - 25T carriers
Carrier weight is a starting point, not a fit confirmation. The attachment, mounting and operating requirements need to suit your machine.

Common questions
What is a rotating hydraulic grab used for?
A rotating grab grips and orients suitable irregular material - rock, timber, rubble - for sorting, loading and placement, with powered rotation for positioning.
Can a rotating grab place rock for retaining walls?
It can position suitable rock where a grab and controlled rotation help. Lifting, placement method and exclusion zones need assessment, and the load must suit the grab and the excavator's capacity.
Can an excavator grab be used to lift loads?
Using an excavator for lifting has specific requirements. The machine, attachment and method must be suitable and approved for the lift - discuss the task with us before relying on a grab for lifting.
What weight can a rotating grab handle?
Usable load depends on the grab rating, the material, the carrier's capacity and reach. Share the material and expected weights.
Will a rotating hydraulic grab fit my excavator?
Supply the excavator make, model, operating weight and hitch details, plus available hydraulic flow, pressure and auxiliary circuits for powered tools. We check the rotating hydraulic grab against the carrier before anything mobilises, so the setup arrives matched to the machine and the task rather than being sorted out on site.
