You own a small excavator. Five or six tons. Maybe seven, eight, or ten tons. You use it to dig trenches, level ground, tear down old structures, and clear debris. You work hard. You make some money. But something feels off.
Every time you run into wood, you hit a wall.
Tree roots, branches, scrap timber, leftover beams from demolition — you just stare at them. Switch to the bucket? Too clumsy. Drag them with chains? Too slow. Hire laborers to carry them? Too expensive.
Have you ever wondered: why can‘t my excavator just grab those logs like a hand?
The answer is: it can. All you need is a log grapple for mini excavator.
One Attachment Turns Your “Digging Machine” Into A “Grabbing Machine”
Don‘t overthink it. This thing is like giving your excavator a mechanical hand.
You sit in the cab, move the joysticks like you always do. That “hand” opens, bites onto the log, closes, lifts it, and puts it exactly where you want. Release, and it opens again, ready for the next piece.
That‘s it. Simple.
A timber grab for digger turns your excavator from a machine that only digs into a multi‑tool that can move logs, clear brush, and handle demolition waste.
You might be thinking: Is it expensive? Easy to install? Will it fit my machine?
Let‘s walk through it step by step.
First, Look At Your Excavator Size. Then Match The Grapple.
You don‘t need to be a technician. Just tell me: how many tons is your excavator?
Here are the actual models we sell. Don‘t memorize the numbers — just find your tonnage row.
| Model | Unit | 02 | 04 | 06 | 08 | 10 | 14 | 20 |
| Weight | Kg | 360 | 440 | 900 | 1680 | 2130 | 2600 | 2800 |
| Max jaw opening | M/m | 1200 | 1400 | 1600 | 2100 | 2500 | 2800 | 2800 |
| Oil pressure | Kg/crrt2 | 160 | 160 | 180 | 180 | 180 | 180 | 200 |
| Set up pressure | Kg/cm1 | 170 | 180 | 190 | 200 | 210 | 250 | 250 |
| Operating flux | L/min | 30-55 | 50-100 | 90-110 | 100-140 | 130-170 | 80-120 | 80-120 |
| Cylinder Volume | Ton | 4.0×2 | 4.5×2 | 8.0×2 | 9.7×2 | 12×2 | 12×2 | 14×2 |
| Suitable excavator | Ton | 4-6 | 7-11 | 12-16 | 17-23 | 24-30 | 31-40 | 41-50 |
That‘s it. Whatever your excavator weighs, pick the log grapple for mini excavator from the row that matches.
How Wide Does The “Hand” Open? How Much Can It Hold?
You probably want to know: how many logs can I grab at once?
Look at the maximum jaw opening:
- The smallest model 02 opens 1.2 meters. Enough to grab a thigh‑thick log.
- Mid‑size model 08 opens 2.1 meters. You can pick up two or three small trees together, or one heavy beam.
- The largest model, 20, opens to 2.8 meters. That‘s for 40‑50 ton excavators — it can grab a whole bundle of timber.
Weight ranges from 360 kg to 2.8 tons. Don‘t worry — each grapple is sized for its matching excavator. It won‘t make your machine tip over, and it won‘t be too flimsy.
You Might Also Care About Hydraulic Flow. Here’s The Truth.
That sounds technical, but it‘s simple.
Your excavator has a hydraulic pump. It pushes out a certain amount of oil per minute — say 30 liters, 50 liters, 100 liters, etc. Our grapple needs a certain flow to work properly.
Again, you don‘t need to calculate anything. Just send us your excavator brand and model. We’ll match it for you. We‘ve sold to Portugal, Italy, Mexico, Argentina — all kinds of brands.
The only thing you have to do is ask: “Will this fit my machine?” We’ll tell you yes or no.
What Your Workday Looks Like After Installing One?
Imagine this.
Before you see a pile of scrap wood on a job site. You stop. You switch to a breaker or a bucket. Then you pry, drag, push — one piece at a time. You need a guy on the ground to help hook chains. Half a morning wasted, and you‘re exhausted.
After you add a timber grab for digger, you don‘t stop. You don‘t change anything. Just drive up, open the “hand”, clamp, lift, drop onto the truck. Ten seconds.
One person, one machine, one morning — you get done what used to take two or three days.
Your fuel bill stays the same. Your labor cost stays the same. But you finish more work. And you earn more money.
Real Operators Are Already Doing This
A tree service owner in Portugal had an 8‑ton excavator. Before, clearing a plot of roots and branches took two men two days. After he installed our model 04 grapple, he did it alone in one day. He told us: “This thing is like having a hand — I never have to leave the cab.”
A demolition contractor in Argentina tore down old houses with lots of wooden beams and frames. Before, those timbers went to the dump — and someone had to carry them. Now they use a log grapple for mini excavator to grab the wood, stack it, and sell it to a recycler. They turned waste into extra cash.
These aren‘t stories. They‘re facts.
What Do You Need To Do Right Now?
It‘s simple. Tell us your excavator brand, model, and tonnage. If you know your hydraulic flow, great. If not, no problem.
We‘ll tell you exactly which log grapple for mini excavator fits best. Then we‘ll send you a quote, arrange shipping, and give you installation instructions.
When it arrives, have a mechanic pull the bucket pins, mount the grapple, and connect the hoses. Half an hour, and you‘re ready.
From today, your excavator isn‘t just a digging machine. It‘s a logging machine, a clearing machine, a money‑making machine.
Try it. You won‘t regret it.
