Dymax heavy duty 360-degree forestry grapple for excavators, front view with the 3-over-4 tines open

Heavy-Duty Forestry Grapple for Excavators

T1 steel tines and full 360° rotation for log loading, land clearing, and storm cleanup.

The Dymax Heavy-Duty Forestry Grapple turns a full 360° (self-powered or on your tiltrotator). Grab a log, rotate it to any angle, and deck or sort it without swinging the machine around. A built-in heel lets you snap and separate material against the frame instead of reaching for a saw. T1 steel tines with AR400 tips that hold their edge in grit and debris. Built to order for 13- to 25-ton excavators.

FAQ

Dymax builds 360° forestry grapples for 13, 20, and 25 ton excavators, plus a 16-ton tilt-rotator-coupler model. Tine openings run from 71 to 85.6 inches.

Match the grapple to your machine’s operating weight and the size of wood you’re handling.

Yes. The 16-ton TRQ model mounts to your tiltrotator’s head plate and uses the tiltrotator for rotation and tilt. It only needs one hydraulic circuit to open and close. The 3-over-4 tine design and side heel arms are the same as the pin-on 360° grapple.

The 13-ton and 16-ton TRQ models open to 71 inches between tips; the 20- and 25-ton models open to 85.6 inches. The 3-over-4 tine layout closes on both single large stems and loose brush.

Yes — Dymax grapples are made to order, and we offer special design solutions when a standard build doesn’t match your coupler, hydraulics, or application. Tell us your machine, coupler, and application, and we’ll quote it.
