ALPHA GRABBER EXTENSION TUBE
extra reach in compact spaces
Maximise your intervention capability with the Alpha grabber extension tube which increases full-reach by 23cm (40mm OD). This grabber accessory was designed following direct feedback from our customers to assist them with extra reach in compact spaces. Note the tube is sold separately to enhance your underwater grabber solution.Â
Bravo cutter for grabbers
See the Bravo CUTTER TOOL in action
The Bravo Cutter is the most effective electrically actuated cutter for inspection-class ROVs. Suitable for all Reach Bravo systems including grabbers and manipulators, this advanced tool is essential for critical missions requiring force and precision, particularly in defence and maritime industries.
SPECIAL RECOVERY SUCCESS
Alpha Grabber for Search and Recovery
A Reach Alpha Rotating Grabber (RA-2130) is used during a search and rescue test conducted by the Hutterian Emergency Aquatic Response Team (HEART). Watch as the grabber enables complex underwater recovery during the simulated emergency scenario.
GRABBER END EFFECTORS
Tough and Reliable
These tooling options enable operators to quickly configure their ROV grabber or manipulator arm for the required task. A rapid swap-out procedure ensures interchangeability on the go.
