Features
Strong frame
The frame is designed to handle the forces that excavators create. The frame also features a sturdy heel that can be used to take support with an excavator.
It is made from Hardox® 400 steel, that is known for it's hard wearing and forgiving qualities.
Saw unit
The TMK Grapple Saw uses a quality Swedish JPS saw unit, which features a 800mm saw bar with a .404” chain. A separate ¾”chain is also available as an option. The saw bar has an automatic lubrication system and works half-automatically together with the grapple arms. The unit also features a semi-automatic chain tightening system, to make working fast and efficient. In addition to the unit also having a support heel for maneuvering the excavator, the saw unit box itself is also very sturdy.
Grapple arms
The dual grapple arms open to a maximum width of 1190mm for easy material handling. They also close in tight, for grabbing smaller trees.
The arms can also be electronically locked in place for trickier sawing motions.
Very sturdy saw box
The saw unit is very well protected inside a sturdy saw box. We have also made cut outs to the saw box so you can see exactly where the bar is when cutting.

Easy maintenance
Even though it might not look like it, the Grapple Saw itself is very simple & care-free to use. You don't need to be hydraulics expert, as we've done everything simple to adjust.
The Grapple Saw features only one adjustment valve. This is for adjusting the guide bar speed.
