The Monde Multi Peel Clamp range includes several models with dimensions and capacities adapted to different types of excavators. UZINEX engineers recommend the right model for your machine and applications. Free technical consultancy available. Main advantages of the Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple
• Complete versatility: wood, metal, waste, construction, ports. The Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple is the only attachment in the UZINEX range designed explicitly for mixed and non-homogeneous materials. Where the log grapple is optimised for wood and the orange-peel grapple for abrasive bulk materials, the MPB multifunctional excavator grapple covers workflows with varied materials (metal, wood, plastic, mixed) without efficiency losses when switching from one type of material to another.
• Continuous 360° hydraulic rotation: the Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple rotates 360° in both directions without an angle limit from the excavator cab. Free rotation allows the load to be positioned exactly at any required angle, essential in port yards and on sorting platforms where the material arrives in unpredictable orientations and must be deposited precisely on belts or into containers.
“Free rotation allows the load to be positioned exactly at any required angle.”
• Q345B + NM400: optimal strength-to-weight balance. The Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple uses Q345B for the load-bearing structure and NM400 (380–450 HB) on the wear surfaces. This combination provides the wear resistance needed for mixed materials with abrasive components (scrap iron, concrete rubble, mixed ballast) while keeping the total weight of the attachment at ~1.050 kg on the MPB-200 model, compatible with 16-tonne excavators without overloading the arm.
• Opening 1.960–2.400 mm for large load volumes: the Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple opens its jaws to 1.960 mm on the MPB-200 model and up to 2.400 mm on the models for 25–36 tonnes. The 2.400 mm opening allows bulky loads to be gripped (waste packages, groups of metal profiles, non-palletised port cargo) that cannot be handled by grapples with a standard opening below 1.500 mm.
• Pressure 220 bar, flow 80–180 L/min: the Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple operates at 220 bar with a flow of 80 L/min on the model for 16 tonnes, rising to 180 L/min on the models for 25–36 tonnes. These parameters fall within the specifications of the standard auxiliary circuits of excavators in the compatible tonnage classes, without requiring modification of the machine's hydraulic system.
• Applicable in ports and terminals: the Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple is designed explicitly for port and terminal applications, handling non-palletised goods, bales, medium-density bulk materials and mixed loads in the limited spaces of quays and port yards. The combination of the large opening and 360° rotation is essential in these environments.
• Available in several sizes for 16–36 tonnes: the Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple range covers medium and medium-large excavators, from 16 tonnes to 36 tonnes, with models sized in weight and opening for each tonnage class. UZINEX engineers select the right model based on the specifications of the excavator and the application.
• 60-month UZINEX warranty: spare parts in stock at Iași, guaranteed national technical support within 24–48 hours.
Main applications of the Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple
Sorting and handling mixed municipal and industrial waste at transfer platforms and sorting stations.
Construction and demolition works with mixed materials: concrete debris with reinforcement.
Recycling yards with mixed material flows: mixed scrap with wood and plastic, construction waste.
Sorting and handling mixed municipal and industrial waste at transfer platforms and sorting stations is the application for which the Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple offers the maximum advantage over specialised grapples. The flow of mixed waste (bags, boxes, metal, wood, plastic, textiles) cannot be handled efficiently by a grapple optimised for a single type of material. The MPB multifunctional excavator grapple grips, lifts and moves these heterogeneous flows without dropping the load or frequent jamming of the jaws.
Material handling in ports and cargo terminals is the second reference application. Port yards frequently contain varied non-palletised goods (round wood, metal profiles, bales of raw materials, import waste) that require an attachment with a large opening, free rotation and compatibility with materials of different densities and shapes. The Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple covers this diversity with a single attachment mounted on the quay or yard excavator.
Construction and demolition works with mixed materials (concrete rubble with reinforcement, wood and metal waste resulting from demolition, heterogeneous fill materials) are another frequent application. The Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple handles these mixed materials directly on site, feeding the containers or transport trucks without requiring manual pre-sorting or attachment changes.
Recycling yards with mixed material flows (scrap iron mixed with wood and plastic, construction waste, bulky WEEE materials) are a specific use case where the Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple replaces two or three specialised attachments with a single versatile attachment, reducing changeover times and simplifying the operational logistics of the recycling yard. The MPB multifunctional grapple vs. the other UZINEX grapples: selection guide
UZINEX offers three types of grapples for excavators, each optimised for a different profile of materials and applications. The right choice depends on the composition of the materials to be handled and the need for rotation of the attachment.
The Monde MWR20 hydraulic log grapple (1.380 kg, 360° rotation, 2.300 mm opening, Q345/Q460/NM400/Hardox, 17–23t) is the specialised solution for wood materials (logs, branches, bamboo) where the elongated shape and the specific weight of the wood dictate the jaw geometry. Certified to ISO 9001:2008, CE and SGS.
The Monde fixed orange-peel grapple (Hardox 450/500, no rotation, 16–23t) is the solution for abrasive bulk materials (ore, coal, limestone, ballast) where maximum gripping force and the durability of Hardox take priority over rotation or material versatility.
The Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple (Q345B+NM400, 360° rotation, 16–36t, opening 1.960–2.400 mm) is the solution when the materials to be handled are mixed and varied (heterogeneous waste, port materials, mixed construction) where no specialised grapple covers the entire range of loads in the operation.
Combined with a Monde DEHN quick coupler, the Monde MPB multifunctional excavator grapple can be mounted and dismounted from the excavator cab in less than a minute, quickly alternating with a bucket or another attachment depending on the work phase.
