Grapple chainsaw SUPERSAW 550 / 550S

The SuperSaw 550 / 550S is an easy-to-use standard grapple saw that includes the SuperCut std saw unit. It’s suited for use on timber trucks and lighter stationary cranes, or as a more powerful alternative when harvesting forest residue. If your assortment is non-standard, you’ll probably work more productively with a grapple saw. The cutting unit in the SuperSaw 550 / 550S is our own SuperCut, one of the world’s most widely used saw units. The SuperSaw 550 / 550S includes a frame, a saw unit, complete hydraulics, and a lubrication oil tank. Mounting brackets are of course available for all Hultdins grapples, as well as for other grapple brands (assuming the same rotator mounting hole placements and shapes as on Hultdins grapples). A FLEXIBLE GRAPPLE SAW The SuperSaw 550 / 550S is easy to handle. It has a return feed system for the saw bar, which with the right settings offers essentially self-adjusting sawing. While you saw, the integrated air tank takes care of the saw bar return and an accumulator takes care of the drainage oil. All that’s needed to operate the saw cassette are feed and return lines and an on/off valve. USED MOSTLY ON TIMBER TRUCKS The SuperSaw 550 / 550S is the perfect grapple saw for equipping timber trucks, in particular for full tree harvesting in Central Europe. There the cranes are a little larger and can handle the weight of the grapple saw. SAVE TIME WITH AUTOMATIC CHAIN TENSIONING The SuperSaw 550 / 550S has proportional chain lubrication and automatic chain tensioning. This delivers improved cutting performance and reduces wear on drive sprockets, nose sprockets, and chains.
