Hydraulic Cowhide Leather Grab Forklift Attachment, Petal Claw, Damage-Free, Class 3A, 4–4.5T

Product Overview

The EALITA Hydraulic Cowhide Leather Grab is a specialized forklift attachment engineered exclusively for the safe, damage-free handling of raw cowhide, processed leather hides, and bulk hide bundles in cowhide processing plants, leather tanneries, hide storage warehouses, and leather goods manufacturing facilities. Designed for Class 3A forklifts in the 4–4.5 tonne range, this hydraulic leather grab replaces manual hide handling and general-purpose grab attachments with a purpose-built solution that protects the integrity and surface quality of cowhide throughout every stage of the handling process — from raw hide intake through processing, storage, and dispatch.

The petal-shaped toothed claw mechanism is the defining design feature of this leather grab. Unlike conventional parallel-jaw grabs or bucket-style attachments that apply concentrated point loads or edge pressure to delicate hide surfaces, the petal claw design distributes the gripping force across multiple curved toothed contact points arranged in a radial petal pattern around the hide bundle. This distributed multi-point grip securely holds the cowhide mass without concentrating stress at any single contact point — preventing the surface tears, puncture marks, and compression damage that conventional grab attachments cause when handling raw or processed hides. The toothed contact surface provides sufficient mechanical grip to hold the hide bundle securely during lifting and transport, while the petal geometry ensures that grip force is spread broadly enough to avoid localized damage to the hide surface or grain structure.

The hydraulic actuation system provides smooth, controlled opening and closing of the petal claw across a full range of 0 to 1,080 mm — accommodating the full range of hide bundle sizes and configurations encountered in cowhide processing operations, from individual folded hides to large compressed bale formats. The operator controls claw opening and closing from the forklift cab via the auxiliary hydraulic circuit, allowing precise grip adjustment to match the size and density of each hide bundle without dismounting or manual adjustment. The system operates at a working pressure of 16 MPa with a hydraulic flow requirement of 60 LPM, and requires connection to three dedicated hydraulic circuits on the host forklift to enable full multi-axis claw actuation.

The three-circuit hydraulic system enables independent control of multiple claw movement axes simultaneously — providing the combination of opening, closing, and rotational or positional adjustment required to handle irregularly shaped hide bundles and to precisely position the claw around hide stacks of varying height, width, and density. This multi-circuit actuation capability gives the operator a level of grip control and positional flexibility that single or dual-circuit grab attachments cannot achieve, making the EALITA leather grab the most versatile hydraulic hide handling solution available for standard counterbalance forklift platforms in the 4–4.5 tonne class.

Forklift flexibility is significantly enhanced by the grab's ability to handle cowhide bundles in configurations and locations that are inaccessible to conventional pallet-based handling methods. The hydraulic claw can reach into stacked hide piles, grip bundles from the side or top, and reposition hides within tight processing floor layouts without requiring the forklift to maneuver into position for a straight-on approach. This operational flexibility reduces the floor space required for hide handling operations, improves processing throughput, and eliminates the manual labor previously required to reposition hides for forklift access in confined processing plant environments.

Whether you are managing raw hide intake at a cowhide processing facility, transferring processed leather bundles between tanning and finishing departments, organizing hide inventory in a leather warehouse, or loading finished hide bales for dispatch at a leather goods manufacturing plant, the EALITA Hydraulic Cowhide Leather Grab delivers the petal-claw precision, damage-free grip security, and three-circuit hydraulic control your operation needs to handle every hide safely, efficiently, and without product loss — every bundle, every shift.
