ABSTRACT:
A pile grabbing apparatus comprising a steel I-beam of appropriate length supporting two claw assemblies. The claw assemblies are each driven by two hydraulic cylinders to grab and hold a concrete pile. A pair of steel support plates are welded onto the I-beam and with a "quick coupler", the I-beam is attached to the arm of a mobile excavating apparatus, such as a dirt excavator. The hydraulic cylinders are connected to hydraulic hoses and controlled by a control module. The operator at the control module may manipulate the claw assemblies to open and close.
