Benefits & Features
Maximize Performance
- Leg profile designed for optimal performance across a variety of tasks.
- Maximum holding power and control from the cylinder valve.
- Interlocking legs designed to secure maximum or minimum load. The minimum opening of 5 in. (127 mm) can be used to handle single, small stems.
- Precise matching of the bearing surface to the rotator increases the strength of mounting, reducing side loads on the mounting bolts.
- Efficiently align to, grab, pick, and sort with powerful rotations motor and cylinders.
- Keep your grapple safe while traveling by securing it with the grapple heel preventing swing and impact.
- Optimal for applications such as: high-volume loading, sorting, high-decking in millyard, and shovel logging.
Rugged Durability
- High-strength, alloy steel used to construct grapples for the highest level of durability in tough applications.
- Get extended use out of your bearings with heavy-duty, lip type excluder seals and sealed pin joints.
- Long-lasting direct fittings even in extreme conditions.
- Induction-hardened alloy pins float, decreasing wear.
- Use a heel with your grapple for maximum productivity:
- Centered over the hydraulics, hoses are protected by the heel from damage.
- Maintain control over your load, whether it is one or multiple logs, the flat, serrated rack provides engagement and stability.
Simple Serviceability
- Easy-to-replace Hardox® wear strips on the grapple legs.
- Easy access to grease points and fully serviceable cylinders.
- Spend more time working with long service intervals and some servicing that can be done in the field with hand tools.
- Critical components are safe and secure inside the grapple frame.
- Ensure the integration of your grapple’s hydraulics to the machine’s by having it installed at the factory.
