From nature to engineering: Grapples in service of heavy machinery

Nature has always provided engineers with extraordinary inspiration. One fascinating example is the use of special grippers in machinery, inspired by the talons of predatory birds. The largest can lift and precisely manipulate up to 50 logs weighing 20 tons at once. By clamping with great force, they do so securely and safely.

Grapples are versatile tools that enable machines to perform various tasks in the construction, forestry, and recycling industries. They allow efficient and precise material handling and rotation, which leads to increased productivity, cost reduction, and improved workplace safety. The dynamically growing market drives the development of innovative solutions in the machine design offices. Each gripper design is preceded by a detailed analysis, allowing the device to adapt to the client's specific needs optimally. Specialists in mechanics, hydraulics, and automation collaborate to create these modern mechanisms, ensuring their reliability and efficiency.
