Weldox 700 is a prime steel used in the manufacture of high quality log grapples. All grapples have a bronze bushing at every joint, and every joint has a grease fitting. Large, powerful cylinders. Double connection rods provide good balance and less stress. A belly plate protects the cylinder from underneath. Modern bypass grapple design. The  bypass grapples have excellent geometry. The form of the claws enables a smooth roll in of the stems. The grapples also close to a tight minimum opening.
