(Pile Driver)
Log Grapple is the versatile log grapple with pile driver from Malaguti for interventions in agriculture but also for soil maintenance.
Log Grapple is a wood grab, (mounted under a PLURY vibration drive), with pile driver that Malaguti has designed for the vibrodriving and extraction of wooden, concrete and steel piles.
WHAT DISTINGUISHES OUR PILE DRIVER?
Usually, the pile drivers with clamps on the market are built with the clamp attached to the static frame of the vibrating body, therefore once the pile has been embraced, it is difficult to carry out an initial insertion of the pile, especially in hard and difficult ground, and by forcing with the excavator arm, increasing processing times and wear of the machines themselves. BUT NOT OURS!
CLAMP ATTACHED DIRECTLY TO THE VIBRATING FRAME!
This allows you to easily carry out a first vibrodriving, stably planting the pole, allowing a single operator to carry out the work from start to finish without moving from the excavator, without the use of an additional operator who would be needed to hold the pole, significantly increasing operator safety.
ALSO CONCRETE AND STEEL POLES!
The grapple was born as a wooden pole driver, and to satisfy every request, 3 optional kits have been designed to also vibro-drive steel and concrete poles:
kit 1 consists of two rubber pads which, mounted on the claws, allow the first vibro-driving of concrete and steel poles, pads capable of self-levelling the pole autonomously.
kit 2 includes the pre-drilling bit suitable for making a pre-hole in the hardest soils, suitable for the vibro-driving of concrete and steel poles.
kit 3 consists of a shock-absorbing rubber accessory suitable for the vibro-driving of concrete poles, which avoids damage to the pole itself and is mounted inside the bell.
VARIOUS TYPES OF USE
Its use is double, in fact it is not limited to the agricultural sector for the construction of vineyards, orchards and fences, but also includes soil maintenance interventions for the containment of landslides, docks and embankments. The Grapple has the possibility of mounting the customized bell (included in the price of the Grapple), available in various diameters according to the user needs, which is also interchangeable as it is not welded but bolted underneath the grapple!
