Description

The Engcon Detachable Gripper is a versatile hydraulic attachment designed to give excavators exceptional gripping capability for lifting and handling materials such as pipes, timber, and demolition debris. Built to fit a range of machines across the ~2–30 tonne class and compatible with Engcon’s Q-Safe quick hitches, the gripper cassettes hook on quickly and connect hydraulics in one smooth action that takes less than a minute. This retrofit-ready design means you can add or remove the gripper as needed without downtime on site.

Available in four sizes — GRD40, GRD45, GRD60, and GRD70 — the detachable gripper offers a range of grab widths from approximately 430 mm up to 950 mm, making it suitable for tasks large and small. Regardless of the model chosen, each gripper delivers solid gripping force and load capacity, allowing operators to handle heavy, awkward loads with confidence.

One of the standout features of the Engcon Detachable Gripper is its quick locking system. With just a 32 mm open-ended spanner, the gripper cassette locks to the quick hitch and connects hydraulics in a single step — a simple, efficient process that keeps your workflow moving without wasting time. The gripper’s 15° angled design also provides an extended reach, helping you grip and manoeuvre objects more effectively in tight spots and uneven ground conditions.

Constructed with durable materials and engineered for heavy-duty use, these grippers are ideal for contractors, groundworks professionals, and plant operators seeking a reliable, high-performance attachment. Whether you’re loading materials, sorting debris, or handling irregular items on the job, the Engcon Detachable Gripper enhances your excavator’s capability while keeping the attachment process quick, intuitive and safe.
