Product overview
The Biomass Grapple features an A-synchronous grip and precision-engineered jaws for safe handling of silage bales, branches and general biomass. Its structure uses wear-resistant steel such as Hardox to reduce weight while maintaining high abrasion resistance. The fully enclosed base drive improves operational safety and simplifies maintenance. Designed for professional applications, the attachment increases handling efficiency and includes a 3-year warranty.

Key features

• A-synchronous grip for controlled, safe gripping action
• Precision-engineered jaws suitable for silage bales, branches and general biomass
• Wear‑resistant steel construction (e.g. Hardox) for weight reduction and abrasion resistance
• Fully enclosed base drive for safe operation and reduced maintenance exposure
• Optimised geometry for efficient biomass handling
• 3‑year warranty

Tool functions

• Bale handling and transport
• Cleaning of fields, forests and overgrown farmland (branch clearing, biomass collection)

Smart Modular Concept
The grapple can be upgraded through a modular concept with more than 100 optional functions. Modular upgrades allow adaptation to different tasks and incremental performance additions without major equipment changes.
