Petersen Industries, Inc., a manufacturer of grapple trucks and bulky waste collection systems, introduces the new & improved “Crab” Attachment. It enhances the capabilities and features of Petersen’s prior design.
Exclusive to Petersen Industries, the “Crab” is an interchangeable device attached to the end of the grapple truck boom that enables the truck operator to pick up and transport commercial waste containers from a control platform located directly behind the chassis cab. The new design is compatible with all waste containers that meet ANSI Z245.60 specifications and has a lift capacity of 7,100 lbs (including attachment weight – approximately 570 lbs). Adding versatility to the attachment, Petersen’s new design also incorporates lifting rings for connecting chains to assist when lifting rear load containers, compactors or other items.
