 The BAUER DHG V

DHG V – Variety with value

Global market conditions have seen changes which have affected every aspect
of a successful job site. There has been a focus on increased efficiency and cost
savings, one result of which has been a trend for contractors to move from using
mechanical grabs to hydraulic diaphragm wall grabs. The hydraulic grab comes
out in the lead in terms of trench accuracy and ease of operation.

With the DHG V, Bauer designed a grab with the accuracy of a hydraulic grab and
the strength and freefall abilities of a mechanical grab.
This new grab system is available in a range of sizes and configurations to satisfy
the wide range of applications and challenges our customers on the front lines are
facing worldwide.

Cleaner and Chiseling device

Customers can select either a cleaning or chiseling system
for installation in the shovel, and can later switch between the
two with a simple welding procedure.

Cutting edge or Stop end removing aid

Simple exchange between these two options is possible

 Deviation control
The grab module for B-Tronic system was developed
for monitoring the verticality of diaphragm wall trenches
continuously during excavation. The current position
of the grab is transferred and displayed online during
the excavation. An inclinometer is built into the grab to
measure the inclination of the trench in the x- and y-axes.
Data transfer from the grab to
the operator’s cab is carried
out via a heavy-duty electrical
cable which, by following
every move of the grab, is
automatically reeled on and
off by a hydraulically operated
cable recoil system. Data are
visualised on a touch-screen
monitor. The measured values
can be stored, evaluated and
printed by using a PC. A final
measurement of deviation
of the trench is carried out
by a separate survey of the
trench after the completion of
excavation.

Turning device TD 4
Turning device TD 4 can be installed in all
grabs with a minimum body thickness of
600 mm.
The hydraulically operated rotating device
increases manoeuvrability when working
on corner panels or in confined areas.
Productivity in hard soil and verticality is
also improved as the negative influence
TD 4 in 90° TD 4 in 25°
of asymmetric teeth arrangement is
compensated by turning the grab at 180°.

Two grab size standards are available

Size variation is demonstrated on a 560
basis of the 600 mm trench grab, with
measurement variation applying to all

Grab body extensions

Width extension sets can be used in Length extension sets can be used to
conjunction with different shovel sizes to extend a 2400 mm grab body to 2800
increase trench width. mm, or to extend the 2400 and 2800 mm
grab bodies to 3200 mm.
