Forestry log grapple HZ-2300

for tractors

The HZ series of grapple tongs from Fransgård Maskinfabrik are designed to grab and move felled or freed logs out of forest areas with tongs. Our grapple tongs are very useful, for example, when the logs are lying shoulder to shoulder after a storm. The machine is efficient for fast moving of whole or cut logs. The flexible suspension of the grapple tongs make it possible to pull logs out of hard-to-reach areas, while the boom allows the logs to be stacked. Models in 2 sizes Fransgård's HZ grapple tongs are very robust and stable and are used in many places in the world. The sturdy base construction combined with brass bushings in all joints make the grapple tongs very durable and robust, so they can handle most tasks in the forest. HZ-2300 has an opening width of 2.3 m. If you need a smaller opening width, we can recommend our HZ-1500 with an opening width of 1.5 m. Technical data: Opening width:2300 mm.

Closing cylinder Powerful double-acting cylinder ensures that the logs are held firmly. Tongs The specially designed tongs close past each other, providing a very stable tool. Swing cylinder The swing cylinder can rotate up to 43 degrees to either side and is a great help when loading the logs. When extracting long logs, it is IMPORTANT that this cylinder is set in the floating position. Parallel bar The solid parallel bar is safely positioned behind the large closing cylinder and is thus highly protected against external shocks and impacts. It ensures that the tongs close at the same time.
