Product Details

The Arborist’s Essential Tool: The Loflin Log Grapple.

Are you wondering if a specialized log grapple can actually handle a single small limb as securely as a massive trunk, or will the load just slide out the side?

It is the #1 question we get from arborists, and the answer lies in the Loflin Fabrication Log Grapple's innovative bypass jaw design. Unlike standard brush grapples that meet tip-to-tip, these claws pass each other, allowing you to lock down on a 6-inch log with the same "death grip" you’d use on a 30-inch oak. It eliminates the frustration of uncontrolled pivoting and sliding, offering a seamless and effective timber-handling experience that is a must-have for professional tree crews.

With its sturdy American construction and precision engineering, this grapple is tailored for those who are serious about their forestry work. We’ve designed it as a "buy-it-once" tool by offering replaceable inner and outer claws for both Mini and Full-Size models. This means you don't have to replace the entire attachment if a claw takes a hit—you simply swap the part and get back to achieving peak performance on the job site.

Designed for those who demand the best in forestry equipment, the Loflin Fabrication Log Grapple stands out as the superior choice for loading, sorting, and managing logs with total confidence.

 

 

 

 

Why Choose The Loflin Skid Steer Log Grapple?

 

 

Manual or Hydraulic Rotation Options

Choose between affordable manual rotation or full hydraulic control for optimal log positioning. This flexibility allows you to precisely align and stack timber with surgical accuracy, regardless of your machine's hydraulic setup.

 

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

Handcrafted in the USA with high-tensile steel, this grapple is built to withstand the punishing breakout forces and rugged demands of professional forestry and logging environments.

 

Powerful Claw Grip

The precision-engineered inner and outer claws are designed to wrap completely around your load. This ensures a tight, reliable "death grip" on logs of all shapes and sizes, preventing slipping or pivoting during transport.

 

Universal Compatibility

Designed for maximum versatility, this attachment fits most modern skid steers and mini excavators equipped with standard quick-attach systems, allowing you to move it between machines in your fleet with ease.

 

Serviceable & Replaceable Parts

We build equipment for the long haul. Cylinders, rotators, and individual inner/outer claws are available separately, allowing you to perform easy maintenance and maximize the long-term value of your investment.

 

Jobsite-Ready Hydraulic Setup

There is no "assembly required" here. Your grapple arrives equipped with high-quality hydraulic components and hoses, designed for immediate and reliable operation the moment it hits the field.

 

Compact & Efficient Design

The streamlined frame and jaw configuration make this the perfect tool for navigating tight forestry paths and small-scale logging sites where wide brush grapples simply won't fit.
