The Bear Claw forestry grabs are engineered specifically for the UK and Irish markets, featuring heavy duty HB450 reinforced legs, internal guide bars, high pressure cylinders, line bored pivot areas, bushes and hardened greaseable pins throughout. The BC160 model weighs in at 198kg (excluding hitch / headstock) and is ideally fitted to 4 to 6 tonne class excavator, such as a Kubota U48.
These are supplied in either a non-rotating / fixed configuration which simply operates off the excavators double acting hydraulic hammer circuit, or alternatively with a full 360 degree rigid rotation unit (twin auxiliary services required on the excavator). Please note that hydraulic hoses are not included as standard with this grab.
The BC160 non-rotating / fixed configuration is supplied with a standard 2 pin quick headstock or two way cross link (depending on the excavator) enabling the grab to be used in either orientation. Rotating models are supplied with a high quality forestry specification rotator and standard 2 pin head stock.
The Bear Claw excavator forestry grab series are ideal for scrub, brash, general clearance and all other forestry spec applications.
Please note: As standard this attachment is not supplied with hoses. Although we generally advise to have these made once fitted to the machine in order to gauge an accurate length, these can be ordered by visiting our Hydraulic Hoses & Couplers webpage. When ordering hoses to accompany an attachment, our team will ensure all hoses are supplied in the appropriate size and with all necessary fittings to fit the attachment (and couplers if applicable). You will need to determine the hose length and size of couplers that you require.
