Sorting grapples are hydraulic attachments that are mounted on excavators or earthmoving machines. They are designed to grip, lift and handle various types of materials, such as concrete, wood, metals and more. Their robust design and interchangeable jaws enable accurate sorting and targeted handling of materials. Sorting grapples are widely used in dismantling and demolition operations as well as industrial waste management.

Sorting grapples enable the isolation of specific materials, simplifying the recycling process and reducing the risk of contamination. Thanks to their gripping and handling capacity, the grapples reduce working time and optimise the efficiency of dismantling and transport operations, whilst separating materials directly on site reduces the overall amount of waste and the need to move unnecessary materials. Sorting grapples are often used in the selective demolition sector, allowing specific parts of a building to be removed, preserving valuable materials for recycling.

The bucket crusher, on the other hand, can be mounted on back loaders, wheel loaders, telescopic handlers, mini excavators and skid steers in addition to excavators, and is used to crush and reduce materials such as concrete, stone and asphalt into smaller pieces. The resulting fragments can be reused as fill material or for the production of new products. The use of the bucket crusher directly on the construction site allows the volume of demolished materials to be reduced, as they are processed into smaller fragments, reducing the overall volume of waste to be handled.

CM's sorting grapples and crusher buckets have proved ideal equipment in demolition and recycling, contributing significantly to the sustainable management of materials from construction demolition and industrial waste. Their ability to select and process materials in a targeted manner promotes internal recycling and reuse, reducing the overall environmental impact of construction and demolition activities.

The adoption of this equipment not only improves operational efficiency, but also contributes to the goal of a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future in the construction industry directly on the construction site allowing the volume of demolished materials to be reduced, as bulky materials are processed into smaller fragments, reducing the overall volume of waste to be managed.
