The CAEL 360° Rotating Hydraulic Log Grapple is engineered for efficient handling of logs, timber, brush, and debris in demanding forestry and earthmoving applications. Designed for 8–12 ton excavators, this attachment combines strong hydraulic gripping with 360° continuous rotation, giving operators precise control when lifting, turning, positioning, and placing materials.

The heavy-duty construction makes it suitable for forestry operations, land clearing, storm cleanup, firewood handling, and general material management.

Designed for Efficient Material Handling

The CAEL rotating grapple is built for a variety of applications, including log handling, forestry work, land clearing, brush removal, storm debris cleanup, firewood handling, and material sorting.

With continuous hydraulic rotation, operators can reposition logs and debris without constantly repositioning the excavator. This can provide greater control and help streamline material-handling operations.

Durable Construction for Demanding Jobs

A reinforced T1 steel frame provides structural strength, while AR400 steel is used in high-wear areas to improve resistance against abrasion and impact.

The replaceable pin-on teeth help maintain reliable gripping performance and make servicing easier when components experience normal wear. The included hydraulic cylinder and hoses provide a ready-to-install hydraulic configuration.
