Grapples for wood handling
The wood grapple is a hydraulic attachment for hydraulic excavators, used for pick-
ing up and transporting logs and round wood. It is used mainly in open country or
on timber yards. The wood grapple has a large opening width and is specially de-
signed so that large quantities of logs and round wood can be transported, as well
as individual tree trunks.
