ACCESSORIES

Biojack grapples are versatile, because they are modular, and can be modified to match your needs.

We have a large selection of accessories available for our harvesting grapples and energy wood grapples. Additional delimbing grapples (EG kit) and accumulation grapples (E kit) can be factory-fitted or just as well be retrofitted when your needs change. With the boom a tilting grapple may be installed even on an excavator. Learn about our wide selection below!
