Product Overview
If you work in forestry, sawmill or port timber yards, you need a dependable grapple that can handle heavy logs and long timber day‑in and day‑out. Our double‑cylinder steel & wood grapple is engineered for excavators from 1‑24 tons. It is built for high‑intensity continuous work, including forestry harvesting, log loading, timber‑yard stacking and sawmill feed‑in operations.
Unlike single‑cylinder grapples which may tilt when gripping long heavy logs, the symmetrical dual‑cylinder layout delivers even clamping force across the whole jaw opening. That makes it well‑suited not only for round timber, but also for tree stumps and long strip‑shaped metal materials in mixed‑material yards.
Product Features
- Stable holding during swing movements: Symmetrical twin cylinders apply balanced force on both sides. When picking up full‑length logs and swinging or turning the machine, loads stay steady without tilting, shifting or slipping out of the grapple. This greatly lowers the risk of material dropping while moving.
- Fail‑safe hydraulic lock system: Integrated built‑in check valve keeps constant clamping pressure. In case of unexpected hydraulic pressure loss, the grapple jaws remain firmly locked closed, and will not release the load. This function brings extra safety especially for high‑position loading and stacking work.
- Full‑shield protection against log strikes: Heavy‑duty enclosed guards cover cylinder rods and vulnerable hydraulic fittings. Thick protective housings absorb impacts from swinging logs. It prevents dents, scratches and oil‑hose damage caused by repeated timber knocks, extending service life of key hydraulic parts. The inner smooth profile hugs logs tightly without cutting or damaging valuable bark.
- Fast, continuous 360‑degree positioning: High‑torque Danfoss slewing motor enables unlimited full rotation. Operators can adjust log angles freely for loading trucks, sorting timber piles and neat stacking. Faster rotation shortens each working cycle and raises overall site throughput.
- Fully configurable to match your machine: Two tine setups available: 2+3 tines or 3+4 tines to suit small‑diameter branches or large‑diameter heavy logs. Choose between pin‑on direct mounting or quick‑coupler connection. All key dimensions are confirmed on technical drawings before production, so the grapple fits your excavator perfectly once delivered, with no on‑site re‑work required.
Applications
- Forest site: Log harvesting, tree stump handling, log collection and relocation
- Sawmill: Feeding raw timber onto processing lines, sorting log stockpiles
- Port & timber yard: Loading‑unloading trucks and containers, high‑stack log storage
- Mixed‑material yards: Handling long‑shaped metal bars and similar bulky materials
Why Choose HOMIE Double‑Cylinder Wood Grapple
Many ordinary wood grapples suffer from uneven clamping force, easily‑damaged cylinder rods and poor anti‑drop performance. Our double‑cylinder design solves those common pain points. Every unit goes through full factory hydraulic testing before shipment. We support OEM & ODM custom orders, adjusting tine width, opening range and mounting interface according to your actual working conditions.
Whether you run small forest operations or large‑volume sawmill yards, this grapple brings stable safety and higher handling efficiency for your daily timber‑handling tasks.
