The CAEL 360° Rotating Hydraulic Log Grapple is built for efficient handling of logs, timber, brush, and debris across forestry, landscaping, land-clearing, and cleanup applications. Designed for 5–8 ton excavators, this attachment combines a strong hydraulic gripping system with 360° continuous rotation, giving operators greater control when lifting, turning, sorting, and positioning materials.

Its robust construction and replaceable teeth make it suitable for demanding daily use across a variety of job-site conditions.

Versatile Material Handling

The CAEL rotating grapple is suitable for log sorting, firewood handling, tree removal, brush clearing, land clearing, landscaping, and storm-debris cleanup.

Its full 360° hydraulic rotation allows operators to reposition and place materials without repeatedly moving the excavator. This provides greater maneuverability when working on uneven terrain, around obstacles, or in restricted areas.

Reinforced for Demanding Conditions

The grapple features a high-strength T1 steel frame with AR400 reinforcement in high-wear areas to help withstand impact and abrasion during demanding material-handling operations.

Replaceable pin-on teeth simplify maintenance and help maintain a secure grip as the attachment accumulates operating hours. Hydraulic components are designed for reliable performance in rugged, wet, and dirty working environments.
