FAQ
Can the grapple saw also be attached to my vehicle/crane?
The GMT Equipment grapple saw fits virtually any vehicle with a crane with grapple function. View
this page
for great examples of the grapple saw mounted on different vehicles. For customised technical advice, you can contact your
dealer
, fill in the online
quotation-form
or call us on 0031 - 544 370315.
Who mounts the grapple saw to my vehicle/crane?
You, yourself can mount the grapple saw or you can have it done by a GMT Equipment
dealer
or a third party. Helpful tools can be found in the included
manual
as also in our
GMT Academy
. In addition, you can always
contact
GMT Equipment via telephone, e-mail or
WhatsApp
for assistance.
Can anyone operate the grapple saw?
Yes, anyone able to operate a crane with grapple can also handle a GMT Equipment grapple saw. Our customers tell us that it takes about a day of working with the grapple saw to familiarise with all the features. Would you like to see references?
Let us know
, we can connect you with customers who have been using the grapple saw for quite some time.
What does a grapple saw cost?
This is dependent on the grapple saw model and the type of vehicle you own. Complete the online
quotation-form
as much as possible for a customised quotation.
What is the delivery time?
We usually supply from stock, but this is dependent on the grapple saw model and country you live in. Contact your local
dealer
for the current delivery times.
Does the grapple saw require maintenance?
Yes, the
manual
and our
GMT Academy
will give you information about the best ways to maintain the grapple saw. We recommend that you check several elements using this
scheme
,
to lubricate it and replenish oil. Your
dealer
or GMT Equipment can provide an entire service and will recommend that this is done once per annum.
What is the difference between a grapple saw with TTC (Total Tree Control) and without TTC?
The grapple saw without TTC allows you to position tension-free and saw, subsequently the sawn part will tilt-down in a controlled way. Using the grapple saws with TTC you can also hold the sawn part in position. In this case not only the tilt-cylinder of the grapple saw is blocked, but this also applies to any movement into every direction in the cardanic suspension between rotator and crane. Flexible positioning and fixed removal with a push of a button.
Can I equip a GMT035 and GMT050 grapple saw with the TTC-system afterwards?
Existing GMT035 grapple saws cannot be converted. It is currently being investigated whether a conversion kit is feasible for new models GMT050 (delivery after 1 September 2020).
