The Waratah forestry grapple line includes three model categories to cover all types of forestry and non-forestry applications:

C Models: Designed for Traditional Forestry Needs

C21, C26, C30, C36, C36HD, C42, C46, C46HD — These models are ideal for traditional forestry applications and machines, including forwarders, log loaders, shovel logging machines and bioenergy recovery.

Large C Models: Built to Tackle Heavy-Duty Tasks

C60HD, C80, C100 — Using the same technical design as the C series, large C-model grapples are specifically designed for larger material handlers used in woodyards, ports and other large-scale operations. These grapples offer optimized frame structure and hydraulic features that minimize structural stresses, making them ideal for heavy-duty tasks, according to Waratah.

E Models: Made for Maximum Material Handling

C21E4, C30E4, C42E5, C46E4 – Built for handling slash, logging residues, stumps and bioenergy applications, these grapples offer features for use with forwarders and chippers. The E models feature unique design elements, including a choice of four or five fingers for maximum material handling flexibility, according to Waratah.

"In addition to being tough, Waratah grapples are designed for ease of maintenance," said Waratah. "Greasing the grapple is straightforward, with a single position to safely perform maintenance while the grapple is lowered. The open frame structure further facilitates maintenance by offering easy access to hydraulic hoses."

Waratah added, "As with all Waratah products, these grapples come with easily accessible support for dealers and products, as well as genuine Waratah parts with an industry-leading warranty."
