LANDYINDUS F-DBPGJ3A40-750-5 Hydraulic Cowhide Leather Grab | Petal-Shaped Claw — Damage-Free Multi-Point Grip | 0–1,080mm Opening | Class 3A (4–4.5T) | 3 Auxiliary Hydraulic Circuits Required | Leather Tannery & Processing

The LANDYINDUS Hydraulic Cowhide Leather Grab is a highly specialised forklift attachment engineered exclusively for the safe, damage-free handling of raw cowhide, processed leather hides, and bulk hide bundles. Designed for Class 3A forklifts in the 4–4.5 tonne range, this hydraulic grab replaces manual handling and general-purpose grabs 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.

Petal-Shaped Toothed Claw — Damage-Free, Distributed Multi-Point Grip

The petal-shaped toothed claw mechanism is the defining design feature of this leather grab. Conventional parallel-jaw grabs or bucket-style attachments apply concentrated point loads or edge pressure, which frequently causes surface tears, puncture marks, and compression damage to delicate hide surfaces.

The petal claw design resolves this by distributing the gripping force across multiple curved, toothed contact points arranged in a radial petal pattern around the hide bundle. The toothed contact surface provides sufficient mechanical grip to hold the wet or dry hide mass securely, while the petal geometry ensures the force is spread broadly enough to avoid localised damage to the hide surface or grain structure.

3 Auxiliary Hydraulic Circuits Required — Maximum Multi-Axis Control

Unlike standard grabs that require one or two hydraulic circuits, the LANDYINDUS Leather Grab requires connection to three dedicated auxiliary hydraulic circuits on the host forklift to enable full multi-axis claw actuation. This three-circuit hydraulic system enables independent control of multiple claw movement axes simultaneously:

• Opening and closing of the primary petal array (0 to 1,080mm range)
• Rotational or positional adjustment of the grab assembly
• Precise articulation around hide stacks of varying height, width, and density

This multi-circuit actuation provides a level of grip control and positional flexibility that single- or dual-circuit grabs cannot achieve, allowing operators to extract irregularly shaped hide bundles from tight, unpalletised piles without damaging adjacent hides.

Enhanced Forklift Flexibility — Handling Unpalletised Hide Piles

In cowhide processing plants and tanneries, hides are rarely stored on standard pallets — they are typically stacked in bulk piles or vats. The hydraulic claw can reach into these stacked hide piles, grip bundles from the side or top, and reposition hides within tight processing floor layouts without requiring the forklift to manoeuvre into position for a straight-on pallet approach.

This operational flexibility drastically reduces the floor space required for hide handling operations, improves processing throughput, and eliminates the heavy, dangerous manual labour previously required to hook or drag wet hides into position for forklift access.

Applications

• Cowhide processing plants — raw hide intake, wet blue handling, and vat transfer
• Leather tanneries — transferring processed leather bundles between tanning and finishing
• Hide storage warehouses — organising and stacking unpalletised hide inventory
• Leather goods manufacturing — loading finished compressed hide bales for dispatch

Key Features

• Petal-shaped toothed claw — multi-point grip prevents surface tears and puncture damage
• 0–1,080mm opening range — accommodates single folded hides to compressed bales
• Requires 3 auxiliary hydraulic circuits — full multi-axis claw control from cab
• Class 3A carriage mount — engineered for 4–4.5 tonne forklifts
• 16 MPa / 60 LPM hydraulic parameters
• Eliminates manual hide hooking and dragging in wet processing environments
• 540kg attachment weight
