New From Tigercat: LG4053, LG5057 Grapples
The Tigercat LG4053 and LG5057 grapples are now offered on Tigercat 234C and 250E series track and subframe mounted loaders. Both grapples are now available with an optional Tigercat grapple saw, with a bar length of 45 in. and 0.75 in. chain pitch.
The new grapple saw offers several benefits and advantages. The bar oil reservoir is integrated into the durable housing. The hydraulic circuit is simple and efficient. The hydraulic lines are routed for maximum protection and uptime—fully guarded and further protected by the through-tip boom system offered on the 234C and 250E series loaders.
A Tigercat grapple saw increases loader utility and versatility. In hardwood applications, it allows the operator to quickly trim large limbs and remove forks within the security of the operator’s station, reducing or eliminating reliance on ground personnel. In storm cleanup applications, the grapple saw is useful in untangling blowdown and cutting off root masses.
