GMT Equipment products

Grapple saws GMT035 and GMT050 enable trees to be removed in sections. Flexible, tension-free grasping, sawing and controlled felling. These grapple saws have proven themselves for more than 10 years in a variety of situations. The GMT035 has a relatively low weight, only 245 kg, and is therefore most suitable for a low-weight crane from approximately 5 tons/meter. With this felling head you can cut trees up to a cutting diameter of 14 inches.

The GMT035 TTC and GMT050 TTC are almost identical to the GMT035 and GMT050, but feature the patent pending TTC system. TTC stands for Total Tree Control and these grapple saws have been specially developed to make it possible to hold tree parts after the moment of sawing. Not only is the tilt cylinder of the grapple blocked, but so is the movement in all directions in the cardanic suspension between rotator and crane. That means: flexible installation and fixed removal at the push of a button!

The GMT050 grapple saw is the ideal tree felling equipment for cranes with approximately 10 tons/meter. With a maximum cutting diameter of 20 inches, you can fell almost any tree. Easy installation of the grapple saw within 2 hours and no additional hydraulic lines or electric control cables are required because of the patented valve block.

The GMT Jib for a telehandler makes it easy to install a GMT grapple saw onto your rotating telehandler. The jib has been specially designed for tree work: all hoses and specific components are well protected when moving through the canopy of a tree.

As mentioned, the GMT grapple saw must be able to swing freely and rotate 360 degrees. An extension arm must therefore also be manufactured in preparation for installing the GMT grapple saw to an excavator. Take a look at our Machine Applications section to see some examples of excavators with a GMT Equipment grapple saw.

When utilising the GMT035 (without TTC), the GMT Folding Jib might be an interesting option. It allows you to disconnect the grapple saw, rotator and link in one go with a quick connector. The Fly Jib can then easily be retracted into the upper section of the crane.
