Purkukoura

Purkukoura is a Finnish term referring to a type of hydraulic grapple or claw attachment used primarily in demolition and heavy lifting applications. Its design is characterized by multiple, robust fingers or tines that can open and close to grasp, crush, and manipulate large objects. These attachments are typically mounted on excavators or other heavy machinery, significantly increasing their versatility.

The primary function of a purkukoura is to facilitate the dismantling of structures, the sorting of debris, and the handling of bulky materials. Its powerful gripping action allows operators to break apart concrete, steel, and other construction materials. This makes it an essential tool in demolition sites, scrap yards, and recycling facilities. Different models of purkukoura are available, varying in size, weight, and gripping force to suit specific tasks and machine capacities.

The hydraulic system powers the opening and closing of the tines, providing precise control to the operator. This control is crucial for safely and efficiently handling materials, minimizing damage to surrounding areas, and separating different types of waste for recycling. The durable construction of the purkukoura ensures it can withstand the harsh conditions encountered in demolition and material handling. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to combine the functions of a grapple and a breaker, making it a highly efficient tool for professionals in various industries.
