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.
For urban felling particularly, as well as for electric power line cleaning or any other sensitive work, the Turning Device is the solution. It consists of a IMO slew drive and its swivel joint for hydraulic hoses and electric wires to rotate at 360°. Grabbing horizontal branches and dismantling a tree from the top to the stump is made easy and safe.
For excavators and telehandlers.
The TD requires 2 hydraulic lines to function, pressure and return.
The Biojack 300 tree shear is doing great in wildfire prevention next to Whistler.
What’s best? The grapple grabs firmly the tree before cutting. No more safety hazard next to buildings and power lines!
The cut is super quick. The knife requires less maintenance than a chainsaw and happens to be perfect for working in mountain, where the slope and the stones can complicate the cutting process.
Cutting and Loading with the same grapple is easy: the knife is inside the chassis for the loading job and the Biojack can be used like a normal grapple. Felling, sorting, gathering logs, re-cut logs, grabbing a pile of logs, all that is possible without interruption.
Only 2 hydraulic hoses are necessary thanks to the sequence system. All is swiftly working and easy to use. Cutting up to 30 cm / 12”.
