For decades, Powerhand has set the benchmark in the design and manufacture of hydraulic attachments. Based in Scotland and trusted by operators worldwide, the company has built its reputation on uncompromising reliability, precision engineering, and a design centred around the operator. At CARS 2025, visitors will be able to see the VRS range in action, a system that is reshaping modern vehicle dismantling.

The Powerhand VRS has become the attachment of choice for professional dismantlers aiming to increase profitability. Built to withstand the toughest demands of vehicle recycling, every model in the range combines intelligent design with robust performance. From heavy-duty clamp legs to precision grapple arms, every detail is engineered to help operators process vehicles faster, recover more valuable materials, and reduce operating costs.

As landfill costs rise and environmental regulations tighten, efficient dismantling is more important than ever. Powerhand’s approach is straightforward: attachments that deliver maximum output while keeping downtime to a minimum. The VRS range isn’t just another attachment; it’s an investment in long-term productivity and profitability.

CARS 2025 also offers the chance to meet the team behind the brand. Managing Director Murray Clark, together with the Powerhand team, will be available throughout the event to discuss operational challenges, advise on set-ups for different yards, and demonstrate first-hand what sets Powerhand apart in a competitive market.

Murray Clark, Managing Director at Powerhand, said:

“CARS has always been a valuable event for us. It’s a chance to connect directly with operators, hear first-hand about the challenges they face, and show how the VRS can make a real difference to their operations. We’re looking forward to being back this year, meeting familiar faces and introducing more recyclers to the Powerhand systems.”

Beyond vehicle recycling, Powerhand continues to innovate across forestry and rail, with a growing international presence and products approved by Network Rail in the UK. Every attachment is designed, engineered, and manufactured in-house, backed by over a century of combined engineering expertise.

Powerhand’s philosophy is simple: not just built for the job, but built for the people who know how to do it right.
