Atlas Copco MG 1800

Atlas Copco Construction Tools has just introduced the MG 1800 hydraulic demolition multi-grapple attachment. With a load capacity of 1.1 cubic yards and a maximum closing force of 8 tons, the MG 1800 is designed for sorting and loading rubble, as well as demolition of masonry and wooden structures. With a service weight of 3,968 pounds, the multi-grapple is suitable for carriers in the 20- to 30-metric-ton weight class. The unit operates at a maximum pressure of 5,076 psi and accepts maximum hydraulic flow of 40 gallons per minute. The jaws open to a width of 87 inches and feature large bearing surfaces for reduced wear and higher productivity. Each jaw tip features a replaceable wear edge that can be flipped to provide a second wear surface. A 360-degree hydraulic rotation unit allows for accurate positioning. Optional loading plates are available to improve grapple capacity.
