Technical Specifications

*Actual material-handling capacity depends on material weight, excavator lifting capacity, grapple configuration, center of gravity, and operating conditions.

Applications

The CAEL Mechanical Timber Grapple is suitable for:

• Log handling
• Timber handling
• Forestry work
• Land clearing
• Brush removal
• Landscaping
• Construction site cleanup
• Moving large debris
• Property maintenance
• Material positioning

Efficient Material Handling

The mechanical grapple allows operators to pick up and reposition suitable logs, timber, brush, and other bulky materials using the excavator.

This can reduce manual material handling and improve efficiency during land clearing, forestry maintenance, landscaping, and construction preparation.

Durable Construction

The grapple is constructed from reinforced high-strength steel with replaceable wear components designed to support repeated material-handling applications.

Regular inspection of the grapple arms, gripping components, pins, mounting points, and wear components is recommended to identify damage or excessive wear before operation.

Simple Mechanical Operation

The CAEL Mechanical Timber Grapple does not require auxiliary hydraulic connections for its gripping function. This keeps the system straightforward and can reduce hydraulic installation and maintenance requirements.

Compatibility

The CAEL Mechanical Timber Grapple is intended for compatible 2–2.5 ton mini excavators with:

• 30 mm mounting pins
• 100 mm pin center-to-center spacing
• 96 mm dipper gap
• Compatible mounting geometry

Important: Excavator weight class and pin diameter alone do not guarantee compatibility. Confirm the complete mounting dimensions, grapple geometry, machine specifications, and rated lifting capacity before ordering.

The stated maximum log diameter is not a guaranteed lifting capacity. Always consider the actual weight, balance, length, and center of gravity of the material and remain within the excavator and attachment manufacturer's rated operating limits.
