Light Demolition & Sorting Grapples
For Excavators from 0.7 to 12 Tons
The light ACDE® Europe demolition and sorting grapples of the ASG-Serie are developed for compact and mid-size carriers. Precise, agile and robust — ideal for urban jobsites, recycling yards, landscaping and light selective demolition.
The rotating version features a standard 360° hydraulic slew gear for maximum flexibility and reach during sorting and loading. Synchronized shells and high closing force ensure precise gripping of even thin or irregular materials.
The rigid version (ND) offers the same robust construction and closing force — without slew gear. Ideal for tiltrotators, fixed-mount excavators or applications where rotation is not required. Simplified hydraulics and reduced maintenance make the ND version the economical choice for daily use.

Heavy Demolition & Sorting Grapples
For Excavators from 25 to 100 Tons
The heavy ACDE® Europe demolition and sorting grapples of the ASG-Serie are engineered for maximum grip force on large carriers and in heavy demolition applications. Reinforced frames, oversized cylinders, high-strength reversible blades and full 360° rotation provide the power needed for oversized concrete blocks, scrap, quarry stone and dense mixed materials in continuous operation.
The rotating version features a 360° hydraulic slew gear with maximum grip force for large and heavy carriers. Engineered for intensive continuous use on demanding demolition and recycling jobsites.
The rigid version (ND) offers the same robust heavy-duty construction without slew gear — ideal for tiltrotators and fixed-mount excavators in the heavy-duty range. Simplified hydraulics and reduced maintenance for maximum availability.
