SUPERGRIP-II-300A HULTDINS 0,30 m2 - FOREST GRAPPLE

This unique A-grapple has arms with asymmetrically angled knives, hence the name. Everything that the tips of the arms grab hold of is pulled into the grapple while everything else is pushed out. This means that you don’t need to start over as often as with a regular grapple. The tips of the arms also make it easier to separate the timber and select individual logs. You can easily pick things up with greater precision, a bit like using your thumb and forefinger. As the grapple body closes around the timber, it settles into place.

 HULTDINS SUPERGRIP II A-grapple enabled roundwood to be loaded 4% faster and unloaded 7% faster than a conventional grapple. In addition to an A-grapple considerably increasing roundwood productivity, it makes for an excellent brushwood grapple. Unlike the airy bird’s nest-like bundles a regular brushwood grapple makes, the A-grapple’s angled arms compress the brushwood into tight bundles. This contributes to both heavier loads on the forwarder/timber truck and tidier brushwood piles.

The angled knives help the timber roll into the grapple. With straight knives, there is a substantial risk of a log or branch landing perpendicular and interfering with the closing of the grapple. The A-grapple’s angled knives, on the other hand, feed everything that the arms grab into the grapple while forcing everything else out. This means that nothing ever gets stuck between the knives and the grapple easily dips into the log pile. Minimal surface contact with the ground also means that the A-grapple scoops up less soil and moss compared to a conventional grapple. The large spaces formed between the tips of the knives when closing also help keep the grapple free from debris.
