RUSSELL CLAW
Introducing the RUSSELL Claw – the new master of muck-out and eliminator of manual liner slinging.
Lifting capacity up to 8000 kg.
When it comes to the muck-out phase of mill relining, the RUSSELL ClawTM grapple attachment for your RUSSELL Mill Relining Machine (MRM) is a serious piece of equipment. Tough, durable and strong, its powerful jaws will grab knocked-in worn liners from wherever they fall and deliver them to the liner cart for removal. But above all, safety is its first priority. The Claw reduces the number of crew needed inside the mill during the hazardous muck-out operation and eliminates the need for manual slinging.
