Motorized retrieval tools

In order to guarantee the successful retrieval of foreign objects from systems and plants, viZaar is offering a wide range of non-motorized as well as motorized retrieval tools.

Motorized retrieval tools in detail

Smallest motorized retrieval tool GR 8

Our  compact  retrieval gripper GR 8 is  among the  smallest devices of its kind worldwide  and sets new standards in retrieval technology.  With a diameter  of only 8.4 mm and a narrow, glass fiber reinforced push rod measuring  only 4.5 mm, the GR 8 is not only distinguished by its compactness but is also waterproof. This small, yet extremely effective gripping tool thus represents a significant expansion of your equipment and offers great support. The electrical supply and control of the gripper are ensured by the permanently integrated, up to 30 m long glass fiber push rod. This design gives the GR 8 the stability to grasp and move larger objects in your application.

Furthermore, the gripper head of the GR 8 is flexibly interchangeable and can thus be equipped on-site, depending on the specific need, with either a mouse tooth gripper or a T-Rex gripper. This adaptability ensures that the GR 8 is versatile and can perfectly adapt to the respective requirements of your retrieval operations.

The big retrieval tool GR 16

Regarding performance, the  GR 16 is an absolute pioneer. The GR 16 was specifically developed for the retrieval of medium-sized and large foreign objects. Depending on the specific requirements of your retrieval operation, you can either use the large, wide-grip “Alligator” attachment or opt for a three-fingered gripping tool. The control of the GR 16 is via a connection cable and the efficient push rod quick coupling system, which ensures quick and safe handling. The standard working length of the motorized gripper is 15 m, but there is the option to order an extended length of up to 30 m upon request. The fiberglass push rod set, consisting of three different hardness levels, allows you optimal guidance and the best possible flexibility to reach the retrieval site.
