Wallenstein LXG520R | Log Grapples | 360? Hydraulic Rotator - Mini-Excavator 2022

The Wallenstein LXG520R Mini-Excavator Log Grapple is a hydraulic log-handling attachment designed for mini excavators in the 2.5–6 tonnage range. It combines a 360° hydraulic rotator with bypass grapples, a 3–48 in opening, and 9,400 lb of clamp force for controlled handling of logs and other suitable materials. With a 6,750 lb lift capacity and a blank ear plate mounting system, the LXG520R is suited to mini-excavator applications where precise positioning, secure clamping, and full grapple rotation are important.

Wallenstein LXG520R Features

The LXG520R provides hydraulic rotation through a full 360°, helping operators position the grapple and its load without repeatedly repositioning the excavator. The bypass grapple design supports secure handling across a broad range of log sizes, with an adjustable opening from 3 to 48 inches.

Its 9,400 lb clamp force helps hold material securely during handling, while the grapple’s 6,750 lb lift capacity provides substantial working capability for compatible mini-excavator setups. The attachment weighs 345 lb and measures 51 × 52 × 20 inches, making its overall size and weight suitable for the stated 2.5–6 ton mini-excavator range.
