The PFIMX wood grapple is designed with a lightweight yet durable structure for efficient handling of timber of all sizes. Suitable for excavators, backhoe loaders, telescopic handlers, and tractors, it offers strong gripping capability while maintaining excellent manoeuvrability. Its design makes it ideal for forestry operations, log transport, sawmill work, and general timber handling.
Two tip configurations are available to match different working conditions. The OPEN version provides maximum versatility when dealing with irregular or uneven logs, as well as when operating in tight or confined spaces where precision is essential. The CLOSED version offers superior stability and safety when gripping large or heavy logs, making it ideal for loading, storage, and controlled movement.
The hydraulic system operates using a double-acting line, ensuring smooth opening and closing of the grapple for consistent performance. Safety is built in through an integrated block and relief valve on all models except the 1000R, protecting the system during heavy loads. The 1400HD, 1600HD, and 1800HD versions include additional lateral reinforcements along the claws and a double-box reinforcement frame for extra strength during demanding operations.
All PFIMX grapples can be supplied with a turnkey kit that includes a machine-specific mounting bracket and hose kit, ensuring fast installation and immediate use.
