FELLING GRAPPLE 500S FOR EXCAVATORS

Saw grapple

⌀ 50 cm

NEW PRODUCT 2020


A sturdy and powerful grapple for forest harvesting, urban felling and wood handling. 

In municipal applications the grapple can be used, for instance, for removing trees around power lines and buildings. The trunk is cut with a chainsaw. During the loading cycle the saw remains in the frame and is activated by pressing a power button; this means that the grapple can be used flexibly for cutting and loading.

This grapple includes the saw unit SuperCut 100, with automatic saw chain tensioner and a dedicated lub oil tank for the chain. The saw casing angle is adjustable to adapt to both forest felling and tree surgery. 

The hydraulic components are well protected into the rear casing, while being easily reachable. 

The Biojack 500S can be mounted on a telehandler or on an excavator, with different coupling solutions. The TD rotator is available with its swivel joint for limitless rotation. 

  • For forest harvesting, energy wood, urban felling, old tree removal, tree surgery, park maintenance, windthrows removal.
