Log grapples

Hultdins’ log grapples are divided into three series,

each with slightly different characteristics. However,
common to all is that they’re designed to increase
your productivity and every component is of high
quality. Today, our grapples are fitted as standard by
many major forwarder manufacturers.

Hultdin System AB - One of the world’s leading
manufacturers of forestry attachments.
Headquarters and main part of the production is located
in scenic Malå, northern Sweden.
Hultdins SuperGrip is the best selling professional timber grapple in the world.
No matter if it is on a forwarder, self loader or excavator, in desert heat or free-
zing cold, on a sunny day or in pouring rain. Every hour of the day, every day of
the year, tens of thousands of Hultdins grapples are handling various logs in all
corners of the globe.

This is not a mere coincidence.

Hultdins has developed and produced forestry grapples for almost 50 years.
Big efforts are put in trying to offer the best products for our customers at a
reasonable cost. We know that in the end it is only when our customer reaches
a higher productivity and product lifetime than someone who is working with
another grapple, that we can feel safe.

Thank you for choosing a grapple from Hultdins!

Your productivity
- our driving force
Hultdin System AB is a world leading manufacturer of components
to mechanized forestry. With the productivity and profitability of our
customers in focus we have over the years developed a wide product
range consisting of Grapples, Saw Units, Grapple Saws, Damping
Systems, and Active Load Space for forwarders and a Terrain Bridge for
forestry machines.

Hultdins SuperGrip is the leading cut to length grapple in the forestry business. It is available in around
20 different models and is suited for all forwarders, trucks, different types of loaders or excavators.

Hultdins SuperCut is the standard saw unit in most harvester heads over the world. It is also a very
suitable saw unit for felling heads or advanced fire wood processors. Hultdins offers three main
types of SuperCut saw units; SC standard, SC100 and SC300. The SuperCut provides unmatched saw
performance in a wide range of applications.

Hultdins SuperSaw is a complete range of saw cassettes that are best mounted on the SuperGrip
grapples. Together the SuperSaw and grapple form a high productive grapple saw package. A grapple saw
is a very versatile tool that can be used for cross-cutting, loading, sorting merchandising and trimming.


Hultdins Damping System is a passive damper that is connected to the lift or swing hydraulics of the crane.
It dampens vibrations and reduces pressure peaks in the system which increases productivity and operator comfort
as well as it prolongs the crane life.


Hultdins Active Load Space (ALS), and the smaller thinning model (ALS-T), is a variable load space for
forwarders. Widening of the bunks and variable load stakes in height adapt the load area to the density
of the load. That way nominal load for the machine can always be reached regardless of wood quality,
this increases productivity. The load space, which is floating on dampened hydraulics, saves both the
machine and its operator from vibrations and physical stress. It can also be tilted, which increases machine
manoeuvrability in tight areas, and makes it possible to reposition 30-50% of the load weight between the
sides - a very valuable feature on soft ground conditions.

HTB 500 (Hultdins Terrain Bridge 500) is a portable bridge for forestry machines. It is designed to
facilitate the crossing of creeks and small streams. The bridge is carried on the forwarder load space
and placed out with the crane. HTB 500 is light enough to be handled by the smallest forwarder crane,
but strong enough to carry the heaviest forwarder with full load. Placing it over the creek only takes a
couple of minutes. HTB 500 saves the environment as well as it shortens your forwarding distance and
helps you from getting stuck.
