Cranab
The CR X Grapple incorporates an innovative new tapered jaw profile. The new jaw shape increases timber-handling performance with the tapered profile more able to penetrate log piles, glide past obstacles and lift less debris from the forest floor. The tapered profile also offers better operator visibility of the jaw tip.

T-Mar Industries
The T-Mar Extreme Series grapple is built tough with QT100 plate construction and heavy-duty service cylinders with counter balance valves. Featuring easy access to cylinders and rotary swivel, the Extreme Series provides simple trouble-free rotary swivel for heavy-duty applications. The Extreme Series is available in 60-inch and 70-inch sizes.

Kinshofer
Due to their ability to securely clamp even thin timber with only 90 mm / 3.5 in and more, Kinshofer logging grapples are perfectly suited to handle single trunks. A sturdy construction, high quality components and a generously dimensioned bearing system contribute to the grapple’s long service life.

Doosan
Doosan log grapple attachments are available in two models, one with a 52-inch opening and a second with a 58-inch opening. The LG52 is approved for use with the DX225LL, while the LG58 is approved for use with the DX300LL-3.
