FAQ

Which grapple is best for timber transport?

A good log grapple is characterised by excellent loading capacity, high fill rate, low weight and robust construction. Using the latest technology in SSAB’s high-strength steel production, Intermercato has developed the TG Ultra grapple and succeeded in combining low weight with superior strength – ideal for timber transport.

What is the lifting capacity of a forestry crane?

The lifting capacity of a forestry crane varies greatly depending on the crane’s size, reach and model. A longer reach usually means a lower maximum lifting capacity at the outermost point. For efficient forestry work, it is important to match the crane’s capacity with a robust grapple of optimal weight.

What is a grapple loader/forestry crane?

A grapple loader consists of a crane boom (often articulated or telescopic) with a grapple and a rotator at the end for precise manoeuvring. It is mainly used for loading timber onto forestry trailers, but also for other heavy lifting tasks. The forestry crane is essential for modern, mechanised forestry and improves both efficiency and the working environment.
