Powerhand DEX VRS180 – Maximum added value in vehicle dismantling

Maximize the value of your end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) with the Powerhand VRS180 vehicle dismantling machine – the perfect combination of power, precision and maneuverability .
The VRS180 combines the VRS180 Dexterity gripper with the VRS180 clamp , whose clamping legs can be raised and lowered independently . This securely fixes the vehicle during dismantling – for maximum control, efficiency and productivity .

Suitable for carrier machines in the range of 16 to 20 tons .


Strength meets agility

The Powerhand VRS180 combines precise gripping technology with enormous cutting and holding power.
The independently operating clamp legs raise and lower separately to hold vehicle bodies firmly during processing – this keeps each vehicle stable and securely positioned while the gripper selectively removes high-quality components.

This combination enables fast and controlled disassembly of engines, transmissions, axles, chassis components and cable harnesses – for maximum material recovery with minimal effort.


Efficient material separation – for maximum profitability

Like a vulture precisely dismembering its prey, the VRS180's clamping legs securely fix the vehicle, while the Dexterity gripper systematically separates valuable materials from the body.
This allows high-quality metal fractions – such as engine and transmission units – to be cleanly separated from lower-quality body materials .
The result: maximum yield, minimum time expenditure .


Optimal visibility and control

The slim, pincer-like shape of the VRS180 Dexterity grabber offers a clear line of sight from the driver to the vehicle , enabling precise work even in confined spaces.
This makes it easy to remove even valuable materials such as copper cable harnesses from hard-to-reach areas.

Powerful hydraulic cylinders and a high-torque rotary unit give the VRS180 the power to dismantle vehicles effortlessly and efficiently – even with severely deformed structures.


Economy and longevity

Manual methods for recovering valuable vehicle components are often labor-intensive, expensive, and economically inefficient.
Conventional scrap grabs can remove engines, but often leave high-quality materials unused – a loss of potential profit.

The Powerhand VRS180 makes dismantling economically viable : It extracts the maximum value from every ELV (End-of-Life Vehicle) and significantly increases the overall profitability of your business.


Robustly built for continuous use

In a fast-paced and demanding industry, reliability counts.
Therefore, the Powerhand VRS180 is 100% made of high-strength Swedish alloy steel – designed for continuous daily use under the toughest conditions.

Less downtime, more productivity, maximum profits.

Kupferdraht-Extraktion mit powerhand vrs180

Copper wire extraction

A large part of the value of an old vehicle (ELV – End-of-Life Vehicle) is often contained in the copper wiring harness.

The Powerhand VRS 180 enables easy removal of the copper wiring harness from a vehicle. Its slim design and pincer-like gripping mechanism provide the operator with a direct line of sight to the vehicle, making it effortless to pull the cables out even from the tightest spaces.

The VRS180 gripper's high-speed vane motor allows cable harnesses to be coiled like a rope. This makes them more stable, which facilitates the extraction of larger sections of the cable harness.

The multi-function tool on the clamping arms of the VRS allows unwanted plugs to be removed from the wiring harness – leaving only the high-quality copper cable, which can be recycled.

Axle and chassis component removal

Additional profit from the removal of heavy steel axles and chassis components.

Secure the vehicle with the clamping arms and use the VRS180 Dexterity gripper to pull axles and chassis components out of the less valuable vehicle body.
