Product Details

Custom Hydraulic Grapple Cylinder for Recycling and Forestry Equipment

The APEX-CGAC Series offers custom hydraulic grapple cylinders specifically designed for the demanding conditions of recycling and forestry. With heavy-duty welded construction and engineered for repeated gripping cycles, these cylinders deliver reliable performance in material handling, sorting, and log processing.

Key Selling Points

Heavy-Duty Welded Construction

Welded barrel and structural steel components withstand shock loads common in recycling and forestry applications.

Repeated Gripping Cycles

Engineered for frequent opening and closing, with large bearing areas and heavy-duty scrapers to reduce wear.

Customizable Bore and Stroke

Bore 50–250 mm and stroke 100–1,500 mm can be tailored to match grapple opening ranges and capacity requirements.

Optional Load-Holding Valves

Maintain gripping force even if hydraulic pressure is interrupted, improving safety and material retention.

Rod Protection Options

Choose induction-hardened or corrosion-resistant rod surfaces, plus protective sleeves or bellows for severe environments.
