Introduction

The Clamshell Telescopic Arm is a high-performance attachment designed for excavators, enabling extended reach, flexible positioning, and efficient material handling. By combining a telescopic mechanism with a clamshell bucket, this innovative tool allows operators to expand their working radius and optimize loading height, making it ideal for dredging, excavation, demolition, and bulk material handling.

Engineered for durability and precision, the Clamshell Telescopic Arm enhances productivity in applications where standard excavator arms cannot provide sufficient range or control.

Key Features

1. Telescopic Extension for Greater Reach

• Hydraulic telescopic cylinder allows smooth extension and retraction of the mobile arm section.

• Adjustable working radius to adapt to different job site requirements.

• Ideal for deep excavation, dredging, and hard-to-reach areas.

2. Clamshell Bucket Design for Efficient Material Handling

• Double-hinged bucket ensures secure gripping and precise dumping.

• Suitable for handling loose materials, sand, gravel, sludge, and debris.

• Reduces spillage and improves loading accuracy.

3. Enhanced Stability & Control

• Reinforced steel construction for durability under heavy loads.

• Smooth hydraulic operation ensures precise movement and positioning.

• Minimizes machine strain while maximizing efficiency.

4. Versatile Applications

• Dredging & excavation in rivers, ponds, and construction sites.

• Demolition & waste handling in confined spaces.

• Bulk material loading in mining, agriculture, and industrial settings.

• Port & harbor operations for sediment removal and cargo handling.

5. Easy Installation & Compatibility

• Designed to fit standard excavators with minimal modifications.

• Quick-connect system for fast attachment changes.

• Works with various excavator sizes for flexible deployment.
