  • Click here for information on our universal grapples / stone grapples. 
  • Hardox is a prime steel used in the manufacture of high quality log grapples.
  • All Valby grapples have a bronze bushing at every joint, and every joint has a grease fitting.
  • Large, powerful cylinders.
  • Double connection rods provide good balance and less stress.
  • A belly plate protects the cylinder from underneath.
  • Modern bypass grapple design
  • The Valby bypass grapples have excellent geometry. The form of the claws enables a smooth roll in of the stems. The grapples also close to a tight minimum opening.
  • Examples of how Valby grapples have been used as components when backhoes, skid steer loaders or compact excavators are put to log loading use.

Hangers

It is necessary to install a hanger between the rotator and the lifting boom.  The hanger enables the grapple to swing in two directions which reduces stress.
