Specialist manufacturer of forestry excavator attachments.

Vosch Forestry Attachments

Heavy duty sorting grapples and grapple saws for all tree work tasks.

Today when it comes to tree handling tasks, contractors in civil works and vegetation management are exploring increased safety and efficiency benefits beyond the scope of typical fixed or rotating grabs. In many cases these can be achieved without the need to delve into forestry-specific felling or harvesting heads.

Vosch grapples fit neatly into this category of forest-duty excavator grapples, and are exceptionally robust thanks to the use of the highest quality steel and design origins in demolition. A heavy duty 360 degree rotation turntable with up to four rotation motors provides high torque and precision handling at any angle. Flexibility is afforded by quick hitch attachment, freeing the machine up for use with other work tools if required.

Vosch Rotating Grapple

The heavy duty positioned mount rotating grapple for all timber handling applications, equipped with 3/4″ saw unit.

Grapple Options

4 Motors

The standard versions of our grapples are extendable with extra rotation motors. The HD versions all have 4 HD motors and a HD turn table.

Detachable Saw (.404 pitch)

Designed to extend the use of primarily a sorting grapple to a grapple saw function and back. This unit can be mounted/unmounted in minutes due to a quick coupler fastening. Suitable for incidental saw jobs and only available for 1600-7T.

Fixed HD Saw (.404 and 3/4")

These HD saw units are designed for continues use as a grapple saw. With a motor displacements of 30 cc and a heavy duty saw casing. All hydraulic drive parts are placed on the grapple side, which results in a low cutting edge, harvester heads alike. These units have low speed but very high torque.
