Overview
- High Strength Steel. High strength alloy steel is used throughout the frame and jaws for long lasting durability.
- Pins. These are induction-hardened alloy steel. All pin joints also have heavy-duty hardened steel bushes — significantly lengthening pin and bearing life.
- Tight pin tolerances reduce wear and promote long life for the induction hardened pins.
- Optimised jaw shape for excellent multiple stem grip and holding power.
- Wide Opening. Best in class opening widths give the user greater operating flexibility.
- Wear Shims. Shims are fitted to all high wear areas for reduced body wear and smoother operation.
- Rotate top on BX650 is similar to GX logging range, including separate rotate motor and centre joint to match the grapples larger body and jaws.
- Jaws are designed to optimise performance in all areas of loading, sorting, shovelling, or bunching.
- 360° Continuous Rotation. High-torque hydraulic motor positions the grapple precisely for rapid sorting and loading. Built-in cross port relief protects the hydraulic system even with heavy loads. Heavy-duty slew bearing for reliability.
- Hydraulic Cylinders. Heavy-duty wall construction delivers durability and maximum closing power. Bolted glands facilitate both durability and serviceability. BX series grapples feature precision made heavy-duty wall construction with heavy-duty hardened steel bushes. This benefit delivers durability and maximum closing power reliability.
- BX650 cylinders feature a hose guard to ensure added protection from wood damage.
- Internal Routings. Hose connections and supply lines are protected inside the grapple frame, away from the possibility of damage with an easy hose access panel.
- Bolt-on access panels protect the grapple internals, but allow easy serviceability in the field.
- In-the-Field Servicing. All grease points, the motor and other service components are easily accessible in the field with hand tools. Service can be performed quickly, from one position, minimizing downtime.
- All spare parts are available ex stock for same day dispatch.
- Grapple is best suited to a 20 Tonne Machine.
