Powerhand VRS 200

 

Maximise profits from ELVs with the Powerhand VRS 200. Like a vulture would dissect its prey, the VRS 200 clamp arms pin down the vehicle to allow the grapple to systematically pull the valuable materials away from the lower value vehicle body shell. The knife blades on the clamp arms of the VRS 200 allow engine and transmission assemblies to be split from the engine block.

The Powerhand VRS is the ultimate combination of power and dexterity. The grapple features a slender, plier like shape providing an unbroken line of sight from the operator to the vehicle, allowing valuable materials like the copper wiring loom to be extracted from even the tightest of areas. High power hydraulic cylinders and high torque rotation unit gives the VRS the power to effortlessly dissect the vehicle. Process in excess of 5 cars per hour.

Manufactured in the UK entirely from high strength Swedish alloy Steels, minimising your downtime and maximising your profits.

Powerhand VRS180 Vehicle Dismantler

The latest in the Powerhand range of machine based dismantling machines. The VRS180 has been designed to be installed to slightly smaller base excavators and materials handlers than the VRS200, yet still allows the vehicle dismantler to extract the valuable materials from the engine, axles and suspension components, wiring loom and electrical motors.

The VRS180 features a high-speed rotation unit for maximising efficiency of processing and allows the copper wiring loom to be spun like a rope, increasing the looms strength whilst pulling it out, increasing the amount of wiring loom that is extracted from the car.

Powerhand MV Series ELV Scrap Grab

The Powerhand MV Series is the ultimate scrap grab designed specifically for vehicle processing, it has the capabilities to both easily remove engines and wiring loom from a scrap vehicle and also the ability to span a baled car for baler loading/unloading.

The offset legs allow the grapple to fit within the vehicle engine bay for easy engine removal however, it still has the ability to span a vehicle roof. Hardened machined tips allow you to work harder, longer, and more precisely and the hydraulic cylinders are complete with 360° protection, minimising the chance of a productivity destroying hose burst.

Auto Dismantling System

The Builtrite Auto Dismantling System is marketed in th UK and Ireland by Overton Dismantling. It is designed to quickly and efficiently dismantle autos. Hold Down Arms are mounted directly to the excavator’s main frame and include a pair of large bore, high pressure cylinders, capable of applying enough force to crush and hold the auto in place. They operate off of the undercarriage drive circuit. 

The Auto Dismantling Grapple features a wide opening, 360º continuous rotation while the dexterity of the jaws allow the operator to perform even the most precise maneuvers, making easy and quick work of pulling engines, radiators, wiring harnesses, heater cores, etc. Made from highly durable material, this tool is designed for long life and minimal maintenance.
