The Caterpillar® 245, produced from 1974 to 1988, was powered by the six cylinder turbocharged, 3406 engine with 325 flywheel horsepower. Due to its extreme versatility, this machine had many specialized versions created for specific uses. The grapple was one of the best examples of these modifications, used for a wide range of applications such as handling shredded scrap, long structural beams or car bodies, handling waste at recycling and transfer stations and handling rocks at construction sites. The four tines of the grapple were made of low-alloy steel with hardened tips. All pins, cylinders, bearings and hoses were hardened and armored for heavy duty use.
