Design. Build. Test. " Monkey Claw" - new equipment attachment

What happens here

The project begins with an introduction to the concept of the 'Monkey Claw' attachment. The creator explains his need for a more versatile demolition and grappling tool than existing options, specifically a modified version of the 'Beak' attachment. The video highlights the goal of creating an attachment capable of both heavy-duty prying (like a pry bar for concrete) and effective grappling of various materials. The setting is in Clear Lake, Minnesota, at the headquarters of CMP Attachments, who are known for their Hydro Bucket and Hydro Grapple products. The creator connects with Derek, the owner, to discuss the new attachment idea.

hello [Laughter] good morning you guys it's the start of a brand new day and a new adventure is lying ahead of us we're gonna head out to clear lake minnesota that's the headquarters of cmp attachments that's the guys that make the hydra bucket and hydro grapple well i connected up with derrick the owner because i had an idea for a brand new attachment called the monkey claw and what it's really meant to do is meant for demolition but it's also meant to be a grapple so not only can you tear concrete out and use it as a heavy duty pry bar but you should also be able to wrap your monkey talons around it and hold it all the way to the truck it's like a modified version of the beak that we use a lot but i think it's going to be a little bit more versatile but of course we don't know if it's going to work at all because we haven't built it yet that's what we're going to go do today at cmp attachments with derek so let's get this project started design build test go good to see you there you too olaf all right guys so we're with derek and olaf derek the owner olaf is the chief sales and derek i was just telling these guys a couple weeks ago you and i started to talk about the design for the monkey claw and we've been working through a couple different prototypes and i think you have something yeah we got something figured
