Product Overview 

INTRODUCTION

Product Introduction

Helac PowerGrip®, a multi-purpose bucket from 

Parker Hannifin, is a versatile, durable tool used 

as a trenching, grading or clamshell bucket and 
for gripping and loading. PowerGrip  increases the 
tasks a single machine can  perform, reducing the 
number of dedicated-task machines needed on 
a job site. PowerGrip also performs as a general 
purpose excavating bucket for everyday tasks.

Ideal for a broad range of applications, PowerGrip 
can be used during every step of the construction 
process. Since 2001, contractors have come to rely 
on PowerGrip for demolition, land clearing, tree/
brush/stump removal, underground utilities, material 

handling and finish grading.

 

Each PowerGrip is built with the quality and 

durability Helac is known for – so we offer a one 

year warranty to ensure your complete satisfaction.

When used in combination with Helac PowerTilt®, 
a swing attachment, you can achieve unmatched, 
hand-like manipulation and dexterity, dramatically 
maximizing productivity.
