Forestry log grapple VK series

for loadersfor excavatorsfor cranes

Short description
High-capacity, low-height log carrying grapple for excavators, material handlers and loader cranes.

Full description
Powerhand VK timber grapples are designed for efficient log handling and loading where a large capacity combined with a compact overall height is required. The low-profile design improves base machine stability while increasing reach and stacking height. Suitable for sawmills, loading yards and wood-processing sites. Capacity options range from 1.0 m² to 1.5 m² across VK10, VK13 and VK15 models.

Benefits

• The perfect load Log-hugging leg geometry allows logs to roll up the legs, minimising hollow pockets and preventing logs from sliding out of the load centre.
• Stack it high Compact overall height and horizontal ram configuration reduce machine lift height, enabling higher stacking and safer transport with the boom held lower.
