GMT Equipment Total Tree Control - felling grapple saw attachment

Available in Australia from Forest Centre - www.forestcentre.com.au
The new model grapple saw combines the advantage of grasping the tree without tension, with the ability to keep or hold a tree section in position when removing it.
Not only is the tilt cylinder of the grapple saw blocked, but so is the movement of the swing link - in all directions. That means: the grapple can self-centre when grasping the tree, and ‘lock out’ for fixed removal at the push of a button! This ’tilt-blocking’ method is unique and the system is patented.
The grapple’s function allows trees to be removed safely in sections, using a range of different base carriers from truck-mounted cranes, telehandlers, excavators or forest forwarders.
The Total Tree Control system will be available in two variants: a 16″ / 40cm (GMT035 TTC) and a 20″ / 50cm (GMT050 TTC) felling diameter.

The TTC system it’s just on the new grapple saw or I can adjust on mine , I have the 225 effer and 035

Hi Frank, it may be possible to upgrade an existing GMT grapple saw to add the new TTC rotator, link and jib nose package. Best to get in touch with your dealer - presumably Altec equipment :)

Will this work on a knuckle boom?

[@ForestCentreAU]

Cutting diameter? Weight?

[@ForestCentreAU]

Single-cut capacity is up to 400mm diameter on the GMT035TTC, and up to 500mm on the larger GMT050TTC felling grapple. Double cutting of trunk sections is also possible; up to 600mm and 720mm respectively for the two models. Weight varies depending on the exact configuration (different mounts for excavator, telehandler or truck crane). For the GMT035TTC weight starts at 370kg including grapple saw, rotator, TTC link and jib head. The combo shown in this particular video includes a telehandler jib, adding around +200kg.
