Specification of a Log Grabber

07/12/2007 11:16 AM

How do you specify to a manufacturer the capacity of a log grabber?

Please, check this site of Mantsinen.

I guess the safe working load is the only parameter that should interest me. However models are classified by an area parameter whose meaning I don't even know.

At the websites of other, smaller manufacturers, the only parameter in account is the loading capacity by weight.

That is the designed area of the opening in the jaws of the grabber when fully loaded. If the jaws are to large for the loads you are trying to pick up it may not clamp down on them enough. The logs will be loosely held and you will take the chance of the logs slip out.
