Simplicity that works, right where it counts

At Zijtveld we believe in grippers that do what they are supposed to do, nothing more and nothing less. No superfluous features or complicated constructions, but smart simplicity: reliable, well thought out and built for practical use.

‍

Every sector requires something different, which is precisely why we think from the practical application from the first design. This results in equipment that works logically, requires little maintenance and does exactly what it is supposed to do, day in and day out.

‍

Demolition and construction

In this industry, a grab gets tough. Steel, concrete, rubble, conditions are rough and schedules are tight. Our grabs are compact, extremely strong and quickly deployable. No fuss, but functionality you can rely on. They switch effortlessly between grabbing, moving and sorting.

‍

Forestry

Working with logs and branches requires both strength and precision. Our grapples are designed to handle natural forms smoothly, with grip where you need it and clearance where you can. Thoughtful construction prevents dirt build-up, and cleverly placed lubrication points keep maintenance simple, even in the toughest conditions.

‍

Recycling

In recycling, flexibility is key. Every load is different and every minute counts. Our sorting grabs combine power with agility: they are strong enough for heavy objects and precise enough for fine sorting work. Thanks to the thoughtful design, maintenance is easy.

‍

Scrap metal processing

Sharp edges, unpredictable shapes and extreme loads, scrap processing places high demands. Our grippers are up to the task. They are reinforced at crucial points, constructed of wear-resistant material and designed for a long service life. No delicate details or superfluous technology, just pure strength and robustness.

‍

Developed from practice

Every grab we build comes from experience in the field. No theoretical designs, but solutions created by listening to professionals. For us, simplicity is not a limitation, it is the strength of every Zijtveld grab.  

‍

Zijtveld grabs are produced entirely in-house. From design to final inspection: everything under one roof. This is how we guarantee consistent quality and short delivery times. Parts remain available for many years, even for grabs that have been around for more than ten years. Because your work must continue, always.
