It consists of two or more moving parts that open and close. It is powered by a hydraulic cylinder, most often connected to hydraulic hoses with a 1/2" quick coupling on the pick-up outlets, the control is on a joystick on a potentiometer or on older machines with a foot on the pick-up / grab pedal, which is a little more difficult to control precisely. To work with a grab, you need to develop a sense of how much force to use to press some materials.... A great option is when the grab has a roto function, these are serious tools for work. This example from the video does not have the ability to rotate. It is a cheaper product. It can, for example, be rotated 90 degrees on the receiving plate with screws.
