Grapple saws from GMT equipment

Want to cut and remove trees more quickly and with less manpower? It’s possible with the grapple saws from GMT Equipment. GMT grapple saws can be mounted on any crane vehicle without any technical modifications to the crane.

Remove a tree in small pieces and clear tree parts immediately. Directly from the tree to a container or chipper, without falling or touching the ground at all. A huge time saver. Available in 4 types, for tree thicknesses up to 40 and 50 centimetres wide. With TTC system, or without.

TTC system: fixed-position tipping
The Total Tree Control (TTC) system makes it possible to remove tree parts in a fixed position, i.e. the tree section will not tip over after cutting. The tilt cylinder of the grapple saw and all directions of movement are fixed in the cardanic suspension.

Flexible installation and fixed removal at the push of a button! The TTC system is optionally available for the GMT050 and GMT035.

GMT035 & GMT050 (TTC)

The GMT035 has a relatively low weight at only 245 kg, and is ideally suited to low weight cranes from about 5 ton/meter. It can cut trees with a felling diameter of up to 40 cm. The GMT050 grapple saw is ideal for cranes from about 10 ton/meter and has a maximum felling diameter of 50 cm. You can fell just about any tree with this. The GMT035 TTC and GMT050 TTC are almost identical to the GMT035 and GMT050, but feature the patent pending TTC system. All models can be installed plug & play on any crane.
