GRAPPLE, 48" SS, SR

The Wallenstein LXG420S 48" Spring-Centered Log Grapple is a skidsteer-driven attachment designed for lifting, gripping, positioning, and transporting logs. Its grapple opens from 3 to 48 inches, providing flexibility for handling a range of log sizes, while the 180° spring-centered rotation helps the grapple twist when turning corners and return to a straight position when grabbing logs. With a 3,000 lb lift capacity, 9,400 lb clamp force, bypass grapple design, and cantilever cradle, the LXG420S is built for demanding log-handling work. Hydraulic hoses and couplers are included, and the universal skidsteer quick-attach plate supports installation on compatible skidsteer loaders.
