GB grapples — stone, wood and scrap.
Ten grapples for carriers from 4 tonne to 50 tonne. Four sizes of jaw grapple for rock and timber, six sizes of orange-peel scrap grapple, all with 360° hydraulic rotation.
STONE AND WOOD
GSG and GW — jaw grapples.
Four sizes. A safety check valve in the cylinder holds the load if a hose lets go, so what you picked up does not come down on somebody.

General Breaker publishes identical figures for the stone (GSG) and wood (GW) grapples at each size — the two share a frame and differ in tine profile and intended work. Tell us which you are handling and we will order the right one. Hydraulic motor: MT500 on the two smaller sizes, White 800A on the two larger, 225–300 bar inlet.
SCRAP
GBSG — orange-peel scrap grapple.
Six sizes from 0.6 to 2.0 cubic metres, for carriers from 12 tonne to 50 tonne. Five tines as standard.

Cylinder pressure 320 bar and rotating motor 150 bar across the range. Available enclosed, half-enclosed, open, tilting and pendulum, and with an extension arm — say what you are loading and into what, and we will spec the shell.
BEFORE YOU ORDER
Capacity is decided by what you are lifting.
A 2 m³ shell full of wet muck weighs a great deal more than the same shell full of light scrap, and the carrier — not the grapple — is what runs out first.
Tell us the machine, the material and the reach you are working at, and we will size it so the grapple is the part that is working hard rather than the excavator.
THE REST OF THE RANGE
Everything else General Breaker builds.
We are Ireland’s only source for General Breaker — thirty-six hydraulic breakers from 0.8 to 150 tonne, plus crushers, pulverizers, vibro equipment and compactors.

Tell us the carrier and the job.
We’ll tell you the right tool.
Tell us the carrier, the material and roughly how much of it there is. We’ll tell you which model suits the machine and the job, and what it costs.
