Timber grab, also known as a log grab or wood grab, is a specialized attachment used in material handling equipment such as cranes. It is designed specifically for lifting, handling, and transporting timber logs or wooden materials. Timber grabs are commonly used in forestry, logging operations, sawmills, and wood processing industries.
Timber grabs are crucial tools in the timber industry, streamlining the handling process and improving efficiency and safety when dealing with heavy and bulky wooden materials. They are designed to optimize the workflow in industries where timber is a primary raw material.
Its structure is divided into single rope, double rope, four rope, and electric four types. It can also be designed and manufactured according to user requirements.
Claw-like Design: Timber grabs typically have sharp, claw-like fingers that securely grip timber logs. These fingers can be hydraulically controlled to adjust the grip according to the size and weight of the logs.
Hydraulic Operation: Timber grabs are operated hydraulically, allowing for precise control of the opening and closing of the grab. Hydraulic cylinders enable the grab to exert enough force to hold heavy logs securely.
Rotation Ability: Some timber grabs are equipped with a rotation feature, allowing the operator to rotate the grabbed logs for accurate placement or loading onto trucks or other transport vehicles.
Durability: Timber grabs are constructed from durable materials such as high-strength steel to withstand the rugged conditions of logging and timber processing environments.
Versatility: Timber grabs come in various sizes and configurations to handle different log sizes and weights. Some grabs are designed for handling multiple logs simultaneously.

Forestry and Logging: Timber grabs are widely used in forestry and logging operations to handle freshly cut logs in forests.
Sawmills: In sawmills, timber grabs are used to move logs from storage areas to processing machinery.
Wood Processing: Timber grabs are employed in wood processing plants where raw timber is transformed into lumber, plywood, or other wood products.
Construction: Timber grabs are also used in construction projects involving wooden structures, such as bridges and buildings.
