Grab swivel

[woody paul]

Planning to build a grab like a branch manager grapple but can not work out how to make the swivel setup, has anyone got any close up photo's of any thing they have built.

Small loader.

My first forwarder rotator was a 180 degree as it was cheap. I'm not sure if you can get them today. This was later replaced by a Baltrotor from Industrial Hydraulic Equipment, Industrial Hydraulics Services | Approved Hydraulics the UK supplier.

I think anything other than a piece of chain & a bevel gear wouldn't be so handy.

Thanks,

Its the rotating bit of it I am wanting to know how to do, is it just a large bolt through a bit of tube or has it got bearings in.

It's just a large bolt, no bearings on mine.

we done ours with thin wall dx bushes in it and a nylon thrust on the top I would think that anything that was metal to metal without lubrication would last very long
