Does anyone make an N scale material handler? (modern)

Howdy folks,

I am creating a modern scrap yard for a module, and am curious if anyone makes a 1:160 material handler?  Wheeled and a grapple would be ideal but tracked and a magnet is ok too. I'm able to find a bunch of HO ones, but seem to be striking out on N scale.

Appreciate any help!

You will probably have to kitbash something. Shapeways has “orange peel” grapplers in opened or closed positions, perhaps these could be added to a crane.

An orange peel grapple attached to the GHQ log loader would also be a pretty good option.
