Grapples

Sorting grapple

The sorting grapple has relatively long and straight tines that can slide along the ground so the grapple can be easily filled when loading from stacks and sorting bunkers. This grapple can also be used for unloading.

Unloading grapple

The unloading grapple has short, rounded tines, making it easier to fill the grapple when unloading a vehicle.

Heel/Kickout

This option is available for Volvo sorting and unloading grapples. The heel function is used for holding a single log in a large grapple. The kick-out function is used to make higher stacks where the grapple cannot be tilted to empty; instead, the logs are pushed out, providing a half meter higher reach.

High lift grapple - Standard

The Volvo high lift grapples allow to stay productive across a wide variety of work methods. This standard log grapple is available with hydraulic clamping arms or clinch chain (double triplex chains), and comes equipped with reversible and replaceable wear plates on the points.

High lift grapple - Unloading against a wall

Adapted for unloading railway boxcars and short logs loaded across the vehicle, this high lift grapple is designed so that its arms can follow a vertical wall and pick up logs even at the edges.

Log pusher

Increase stack height by up to 30% (1.5 m / 4.9ft) with the log pusher, an efficient tool for log handling operations which allows to push logs further onto the pile and store more timber.
