Universal gripper for digger arm comprises fork with teeth fixed to arm so it interacts with bucket to grip long or awkward loads

摘要

The gripper, made from stainless steel, aluminium or composition material, consists of a fixed fork (2) with teeth (1) connected by a transverse bar (9). It is fitted to the end section of a digger manipulator arm (5) so that it interacts with a bucket (8) pivoted to the arm. A long or awkward load such as a tree trunk, branch or boulder can be picked up between the bucket and the gripper without the latter having to move or be equipped with a drive. In addition, the gripper can be fitted and removed quickly by means hooks (7) and a pivot pin (4).
