Skidding grapples with a bite
... Unbeatable in action
... Ready for any situation
... A large/small-dimensioned timber and brushwood grapple in one device
Forestry grapples / Log skidding grapples / Skidding grapples
- A solution for any tractor
- Skidding substantial volumes of wood is possible even with smaller tractors rated at 40 hp and over,
as the centre of gravity is close to the tractor
- Uses high-strength special steel
- Enormous gripping power:
- Very large holding volume thanks to optimised grapple geometry
- The grapple grips everything - from brushwood to large-dimensioned timber
- Wide grapple design - trunks are positioned in the grapple
- Trunks with a diameter of approx. 8 cm or higher can be clamped
- Plain bearing bushes in the main joints
- A hydraulic overpressure valve removes the need for a float position for the claw rotary motor

Auer: log skidding with a bite
Heavy logging work made easy
If a device has proven itself 1000 times over, then it says a lot about experience and trust. "At Auer we supply tailor-made skidding grapples for small to large tractors under the motto: light-compact-robust-durable".
With the outstanding quality of the selected materials and well-thought-out technical details, Auer forestry grapples can move substantial volumes of wood in a very short space of time. Regardless of your tractor's power rating or the size of the forest, with Auer you are sure to find the right skidding grapple. Your tractor's lack of hydraulic ports is no obstacle - Auer has the solution.
One particular stand-out is the patented claw, which can be fixed for stacking brushwood and carrying small-dimensioned logs so that it cannot swing or turn away. When pulling large-dimensioned logs and during cornering, the claw swings to protect the tractor. The claw cylinder has a closing force of 9.5 t.
Various models for front loader and three-point attachment, cable winch, extendible/slewing lift arm with ranges up to 2 m, additional control units (if there are insufficient oil connections on the tractor), shield extension, and much more cater to every possible wish.
