The type of material you handle, working frequency, and jobsite conditions all influence which model will deliver the best performance. The following guide can help you choose the most suitable grapple for your machine.

ApplicationRecommended ModelSuitable Excavator
Brush clearing, gardening, small wood handlingTG-MG01 / TG-MG021.7–5 Ton
Farm work, landscaping, general construction cleanupTG-MG046–10 Ton
Forestry, log loading, municipal maintenanceTG-MG06 / TG-MG06-A12–20 Ton
Bulk timber, large branches and general material handlingTG-MG08 / TG-MG1020–35 Ton
Large-scale land clearing and heavy material handlingTG-MG2035–50 Ton

If your daily work mainly involves logs, brush, roots, timber, landscaping materials or agricultural waste, a General Purpose Mechanical Grapple is usually the most economical and versatile option. Its balanced design offers excellent gripping performance while keeping attachment weight low.

For applications involving reinforced concrete, oversized rocks or continuous demolition work, a Heavy-Duty Mechanical Grapple with replaceable teeth may be a better choice due to its stronger wear resistance and reinforced structure.
