Grapple pivots from carriage for smooth 360 degrees rotation
Grapple-mounted wireless camera system
Grapple open and rotate functions are hydraulically powered and controlled via remote electric signals
Grapple close function is controlled by the mainline
Hydraulic energy is stored in an accumulator and pressurised by a pump connected to one of the haulback/skyline sheaves as the carriage travels along the cable.
Double drum Alpine Shovel Yarder Conversion Kit transforms your excavator into a powerful double drum, uphill "live skyline" guy-less grapple yarder
The powerful skyline drum is also equipped with legal skyline slipping brakes, that enable the yarder to operate as a "standing skyline" system, using conventional multi-span skyline choker carriages
The mainline drum has "free-spool" at the flick of a switch for efficient gravity return, with a large capacity disc brake for control.
