Focus on attachments and quick coupling systems: Essential Liebherr solutions for scrap handling and recycling

Whether grabbing, sorting, separating, feeding or loading, Liebherr solutions are designed to handle a wide range of materials efficiently while maintaining maximum process reliability. From clamshells and multi-tine grabs to lifting magnets and quick coupling systems for safe, rapid attachment changes, each solution is engineered to enhance productivity, flexibility and operational efficiency. Together, they support a broader range of applications and help modern material-handling machines perform at their full potential.

The Liebherr GMM 35-5 multi-tine grab, successor to the GM 65, has been engineered for optimum penetration and a secure grip on steel scrap, metals and bulky materials such as waste timber and tyres. Equipped with two powerful rotary motors, it delivers exceptionally high torque, with modular, interchangeable motor options available to suit different application requirements. Standard features including end-of-stroke cylinder cushioning, an anti-rotation sealed piston rod guard, and durable solid shell bearings enhance reliability and service life. Three optional central lubrication systems can further reduce maintenance requirements and maximise productivity. To match different machine sizes and material characteristics, the GMM 35-5 is available in four- and five-tine configurations with open, semi-closed or closed heart-shaped tine designs.

The MH 40C Solidlink fully automatic quick coupling system enables fast and efficient attachment changes, helping to maximise machine utilisation and productivity. Attachments can be exchanged in seconds directly from the operator’s cab, with all hydraulic and electrical connections automatically connected or disconnected during the coupling process. Designed for reliability and ease of maintenance, internal components are easily accessible while remaining well protected from rain and moisture. Carefully routed cables and hoses contribute to a clean, durable installation and long service life. A mechanical locking mechanism integrated into the hydraulic cylinder provides an additional level of safety, while BG Bau certification independently confirms the system’s high safety standards.
