We may have been a bit early for the Aussie market when exploring possibilities for GMT Equipment and Westtech Woodcracker around 10 years ago… 😅
Fast forward to today, and encountering this type of kit on a dangerous tree removal or vegetation management project isn’t quite so unusual in Australia.

We’re stoked to assist businesses like Tom’s with not only maintaining but building their work capability in a sector that faces a massive skilled labour shortage amongst other challenges🤘🏻

We’ve spent more than a few years having to shrug off requests for this type of kit on 8 tonners - not any longer! 💭🌲

The mighty Sany SY80u and the VOSCH 1500 delivered to its new home this week. It might be the smallest grapple saw in the range but it’s proving to be more than capable hooked up to the fully guarded SY80u they might be small but still a mighty weapon of destruction.
VOSCH has a full range of grapple saws available for 8ton machines and above.

A great read from the USA - still early days here in Australia for grapple saws and crane trucks 💡

The grapple saw, which combines the functionalities of a chain saw and a grapple, enhances safety and efficiency by enabling precise, remote-controlled tree removal, reducing the need for climbers in hazardous conditions. Despite its benefits, the grapple saw requires comprehensive training for operators to understand its complex mechanics and ensure safe usage. The future of tree care is bright with such innovations, but balancing new technology with traditional arboricultural skills remains crucial.
