Specially developed for a nuclear reactor removal project for the Department of Energy, this power attachment with a clamshell configuration was designed to achieve a very high performance factor-to-weight/size ratio. It is ideal for dislodging and grappling materials such as cast-iron slabs and blocks, structural steel, rubberized concrete, rectangular graphite bars, and miscellaneous tubing up to 4” in diameter. The bucket’s severing feature makes it easy to reduce material size for easier handling, without having to change to a standard shear.
