Forestry grapple with heel – for excavator
The forestry grapple is designed for demanding forestry tasks, timber extraction, clearing of cutting areas and work on difficult-to-access terrain.
The grapple structure is made of highly durable steel, and the jaws are additionally reinforced on both the inside and outside. This design enables safe pulling and moving of logs without deformation or bending, even under heavier loads. Thanks to its strong grip, the grapple is suitable for professional use in forestry, municipal work and biomass preparation.
A special feature of the grapple is the integrated heel for excavators, which enables the operator to work more efficiently and manoeuvre the machine more easily. When turning the excavator, the heel can rest on the ground, improving stability and allowing a more controlled rotation. It also provides safe support for timber during handling and allows the grapple jaws to be clamped against the heel during transport, preventing free swinging and increasing safety when moving.
The hydraulic hoses are routed protectively inside the heel structure, reducing the possibility of mechanical damage during work in the forest and extending the service life of the hydraulic system. The grapple can be adapted to different types and sizes of excavators, making it an optimal solution for professional users who need reliable forestry equipment.
