Hydraulika Petráš

Hydraulika Petráš s.r.o. designs and manufactures hydraulic grabs (drapáky) for material handling. The range includes classic HR-P grabs, forestry grabs, electro-hydraulic bucket grabs for the food industry, rail grabs, bale manipulators and grabs for hydraulic arms. The company is an official partner of the Swedish rotator maker INDEXATOR and mounts its rotators on the grabs. It also offers warranty and post-warranty service within 48 hours and keeps a full range of grab parts.

Customers include operators handling metal scrap and other industrial users. References on the website come from a Swedish sales company that offers the grabs in its range, a French handling company, and a Czech transport operator. The company states that it exports to Slovakia, Poland, Germany, Austria, France, Finland, Sweden, Bulgaria, the Baltic states, Russia and Africa. Revenue comes from grab and rotator sales, along with service and spare parts.

The family business was founded in 1991 and initially repaired and serviced grabs for HLD and HPD bridge cranes before starting its own production. Its registered seat is in Podhradí, near Luhačovice, Czech Republic. The website says more than 160 grabs are produced each year. The company also reports an EU co-financed project to increase its digital level through non-production digital technologies, run with the Ministry of Industry and Trade as grant provider.
