New Felling Grapple Model From Hypro
HYPRO premieres a new model of felling grapple that can be mounted on, for example, forwarders, excavators, trucks and grapple loaders. The model is called HYPRO FG60 and takes its place as the largest felling grapple HYPRO has produced. The felling grapple is completely unique in its size class where the grapple claws open 150cm tip-tip, but can still grip and hold as small a diameter as approx. 5.5 cm.
"The cutting diameter is over Ø60cm with a 75cm long energy saw bar for unparalleled cutting ability and chain retention for both coarse trunks, shrubbery and multi-stem cuts. All this at a weight from just 340 kg.”
HYPRO FG60 is developed for minimal hose usage, low weight, great cutting ability and unsurpassed agility. Equipped with a rotator, it can rotate freely in 360°. Distinctive for the connection version "FA" is a fully hydraulic construction, with automatic function for tilt and cut via commands for "open grapple" and "close grapple". No additional control system is therefore required to operate the felling grapple. The connection version "EC" (Electric Control) will also be selectable for the HYPRO FG60 and then comes with electronic control of all functions. The hydraulics are always fed via the open/close grapple function, but an electric signal determines which function of the felling grapple is operated. This is controlled via cable or via radio signal and battery pack.
HYPRO`s Felling grapples can be mounted on basically all cranes with a rotator, for example on trucks, forestry trailers, forwarders or excavators. The felling grapples are used for example to fell, cut, load and unload trees, branches and debris along roads, cableways, in park and urban environments.
- The FG60 versions are equipped as standard in the energy felling grapple version, equipped with open grapple claw fingers (brush claws) and a 75 centimetre long, oval-shaped energy saw bar. Optional saw motor sizes are 10/14/19cc.
