The VHZ grapple tongs from Fransgård are very useful when the logs are lying in a mess after a storm, or you are simply cleaning up the forest. The machine easily handles the task of efficiently and quickly moving whole or cut logs.
The grapple tong's suspension, with built-in 3 tonne winch, is extremely flexible, allowing logs to be hauled out of hard-to-reach areas while the boom allows the logs to be stacked.
Combi machine increases flexibility
The VHZ-2300 is the same machine as the HZ-2300 except for the three-point suspension. The three-point suspension of the VHZ-2300 incorporates a 3-tonne winch, making the machine even more flexible.
The primary task is of course the use of the grapple tongs, but with the possibility of pulling out a log with the winch, the VHZ-2300 becomes a very useful multi-purpose machine that can be used for many purposes.

Closing cylinder
The 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.
