Mecanil Grapplesaws

The most popular and full-featured grapplesaw for use with a knuckleboom crane is the Mecanil grapple saw. These grapplesaws are lightweight while still offering excellent lifting and cutting capacity. The units are easy to hook up to knuckleboom cranes, wallboard cranes, log loaders, excavators, and more. The most popular models are the SG160 RC, SG220 RC, and the SG280 RC. The Mecanil grapplesaw requires two hydraulic functions. Installation is effortless as there is no need to run an electrical cable or case drain line.
