Features

After decades of repairing and rebuilding grapples, 3D Industrial looked for ways to solve the challenge of getting grease into a grapple. The solution was LumberLIFT, a grapple that doesn’t require any greasing and is built strong for the toughest steep slope harvesting operations in New Zealand, Australia and North America. Other design features include:

  • large bearing surfaces to reduce wear for all pins and bushes
  • high tensile wear plates on jaw tips and knife edges to prolong life

Pins and bushes can be easily replaced and available ex stock. NO arc gouging needed to disassemble.

  • “The best thing is my yarder operator likes it. As well as the greaseless bushes, the opening width and the way the grapple holds the wood without it slipping out is awesome. It’s going well.”

    Connor McCormick, McCormick Logging

  • “It’s great for grabbing bunched logs when the feller buncher places wood in bunches for extraction”
