The VALBY® GR75HD is a large log grapple designed for large excavators.

The main features are:

• The GR75HD is manufactured using Hardox steel. Hardox is a very hard and durable steel used by quality manufacturers for grapples that require exceptional strength.

• The "HD" version means this model has extra plating in high-stress areas of the grapple body, and thicker steel in the jaws. This allows the grapple to be used with rigid rotators in high-stress applications.

• A massive, 1.08" thick flat mounting plate provides a strong base for attaching a rotator.

• VALBY® Grapples close down to a tight minimum opening to maintain control of any size log.

• A bronze bushing and an easily-accessible grease fitting at every joint.

• A large, powerful cylinder.

• Double connection rods provide good balance and less stress.

• A belly plate to protect the cylinder from underneath.

• An excellent geometry. The bypass design of the jaws enables a smooth roll-in and roll-out of the logs, enabling a controlled grab or release. See the Motion Drawing below.
