Description
The Wallenstein LXG430R 72-inch Skid-Steer Log Grapple is built for handling logs and other bulky woody material with precision, lifting strength, and controlled positioning. Designed for skid-steer loaders with a universal quick-attach plate, this grapple combines a maximum 72-inch opening, 4,500 lb lift capacity, 21,000 lb clamp force, and 360° hydraulic rotation. Its bypass grapples, cantilever cradle, and 19-inch push bar help secure and manage material during loading, transport, and placement, while included hydraulic hoses and couplers simplify connection to a compatible machine.
Product Overview
The LXG430R is a skid-steer log grapple intended for demanding material-handling tasks involving logs and similar loads. The grapple opening adjusts from 3 to 72 inches, providing flexibility for handling different material sizes. Its 360° hydraulic rotator allows the operator to turn and position the grapple while working, supporting controlled placement and improved load orientation.
A universal skid-steer quick-attach plate provides the mounting interface for compatible loaders. The cantilever cradle supports material within the grapple, while the bypass grapples help clamp and hold the load securely. The integrated 19-inch push bar adds a practical contact surface for pushing and positioning material during operation.
