Liebherr has released its newly developed multi-tine grab GMM 50-5 for material handlers in the 35- to 55-tonne range. It comes with a comprehensive portfolio of buckets as well as a wide selection of optional equipment so materials can be handled efficiently and economically in recycling and scrap handling.
The GMM 50-5 is said to be designed specially for optimal grabbing of mixed and shredder waste, as well as chippings or shavings with content of up to 1.10m³. There is a choice of three different tines for handling diverse materials: open tines for handling large-size and bulky scrap objects, semi-closed tines for medium-sized, mixed materials and closed tines for small, fine materials such as chippings or shavings.
“In the design phase special attention was paid to maximum service life. In order to split the high torque, the slewing drive, for example, was equipped as standard with two motors,” the manufacturer said.
It added: “This increases the service life and minimises wear considerably. Both rotary transmission and the reinforced slewing drive are sealed multiple times to give maximum protected against external factors such as dust and water.”
