The clamshell buckets have double-equlizer linkage (see photos below), which distributes the load evenly during the closing of the grapple.
Both sides of the cylinder have a equalizer linkage, which distributes the load equally when the bucket is closing.
The bucket has joints of a large diameter, so the joints are dimensioned for durability. The large diameter joints have bronze bearings, and every bearing has a grease fitting.
