AP Attachment graders

AP attachment grader : same performance as motor grader

The AP attachment graders are perfectly suitable for precision grading of surfaces in for instance road construction and forestry. Thanks to the forward driving direction the driver has a good view on the work. A significant advantage is that the tractor/skid-steer/wheel loader drives on the already slid lane so in the first pass deviations in the result are minimal, the driver’s comfort is optimum and it is possible to drive at high speed.

Advantages AP attachment grader:

Same performance as motor grader but a less expensive investment
Easy to couple to each self-propelled vehicle
Options according to your wishes
Simple to control
Good view on the job

The Types

Twister

The Twister is an attachment grader for use with tractors, skid-steers and medium sized wheel loaders up to 5500 kg.

  • Effective and less expensive replacement for a motor grader
  • Easy to couple to each self-propelled vehicle
  • Easy to operate by manual, laser or GPS control
  • Various options
  • Good view on the work

The AP Twister attachment grader is a grader blade suitable for skid steers, medium-sized wheel loaders and tractors. The blade can be rotated to an angle of 25 / 30 degrees left and right thanks to the industrial ball bearing turntable. This smallest type attachment grader is equipped with a grader blade in widths from 160-280 cm and is designed for the (laser controlled) levelling or sloping of subsoils.

The AP Twisters are perfectly suitable for the levelling / maintenance of sand / gravel paths (among other things) in for instance civil engineering and forestry. Furthermore they are used for the maintenance of roads in orchards,  recreation areas or unpaved municipal paths.
Thanks to the forwards driving direction the driver has a good view of the work. Another major advantage is that the tractor / skid steer / wheel loader drives on the already slid lane so that deviations in the result in the first pass are already minimal, the driver’s comfort is optimum and it is possible to drive at high speed.

The grader blade can directly be put on the desired depth. In only a half pass a flat subsoil is ready so one can immediately start working or driving. When the grader blade is adjusted to slope it is possible to create a roof profile of for instance a sand or gravel road in one single pass, forwards and backwards.

Options AP attachment graders – type Twister

■  Extendable mast with scaling
■  Laser control and components
■  APMB-1 control box
■  Sonic tracker
■  Slope sensor
■  Machine receiver
■  Side blades
■  Hydraulic doors
■  Side shift
■  Sprayed in a color of choice (if RAL number)

Tornado / Hurricane

The Tornado is an attachment grader especially constructed for use with standard wheel loaders and tractors up to 10.000 kg.
The Hurricane is an attachment grader for major work and constructed for use with large wheel loaders up to 18.000 kg.

  • Effective and less expensive replacement for a motor grader
  • Easy to couple to each self-propelled vehicle
  • Easy to operate by manual, laser or GPS control
  • Various options
  • Good view on the job

The AP attachment grader Tornado is a larger version of type AP Twister and suitable for wheel loaders. The blade can be rotated to an angle of 46 degrees left and right thanks to the industrial ball bearing turntable. The Tornado is equipped with a grader blade in widths from 220-300 cm and is designed for the (laser controlled) levelling or sloping of subsoils.

The AP attachment grader type Hurricane is perfect for really large projects. The blade can be rotated to an maximum angle 50 degrees left and right thanks to the industrial ball bearing turntable. The Hurricane is equipped with a grader blade in widths from 300-360 cm and is designed for the (laser controlled) levelling or sloping of subsoils.

All AP attachment graders are perfectly suitable for the levelling / maintenance of sand / gravel paths (among other things) in for instance civil engineering and forestry. Thanks to the forwards driving direction the driver has a good view of the work. Another major advantage is that the tractor / wheel loader drives on the already slid lane so that deviations in the result in the first pass are already minimal, the driver’s comfort is optimum and it is possible to drive at high speed.

The grader blade can directly be put on the desired depth. In only a half pass a flat subsoil is ready so one can immediately start working or driving. When the grader blade is adjusted to slope it is possible to create a roof profile or for instance a sand or gravel road in one single pass, forwards and backwards.
