The TM020 3 Ton Crane Grapple Bucket is a purpose-built, medium-duty hydraulic grapple attachment engineered for commercial operators seeking efficient, reliable material handling solutions. Designed to deliver consistent performance across demanding work environments, this forestry hydraulic grapple combines a compact, lightweight build with industry-leading load capacity, making it the ideal upgrade for truck-mounted cranes and stationary hydraulic systems. With a core focus on precision and productivity, it streamlines timber handling, bulk material loading, and recycling operations, reducing downtime and maximizing output for business-focused users across multiple sectors.
At the core of this truck-mounted crane grapple attachment is its industry-leading 3000 kg maximum lifting capacity, enabling it to handle medium logs, timber bundles, and bulk materials with ease. Unlike competing grapples that sacrifice stability for load size, the TM020 maintains consistent grip strength even under full load, ensuring safe, efficient handling in every job.
Equipped with full 360° continuous slewing, this heavy-duty timber grapple bucket delivers unrivaled flexibility for material positioning. Operators can seamlessly adjust load orientation without repositioning the host crane, cutting down on job time and reducing wear on base equipment, a critical advantage for high-volume commercial operations.
The TM020’s hydraulic system is calibrated for a recommended flow of 45 L/min at 25 MPa, delivering smooth, responsive grip and release with minimal energy loss. Its reinforced high-strength steel structure ensures long-term reliability in harsh outdoor conditions, while its 220 kg lightweight design enables easy integration with a wide range of crane models without compromising host lifting capacity.

This material handling grapple for cranes is tailored for diverse commercial applications, with core use cases including:
Ideal for grabbing, lifting, and moving logs and timber bundles in felling sites and processing yards, streamlining forestry workflows with precision control.
Perfect for handling scrap metal, waste wood, and industrial bulk materials in recycling facilities, reducing manual labor and improving sorting and loading efficiency.
Streamlines lifting and placement of bulk building materials, optimizing job site productivity and reducing safety risks associated with manual material handling.
Delivers precision loading and unloading of timber and bulk goods for transport and logistics operations, cutting down on loading times and improving fleet turnaround.
For commercial operators, safe operation and proactive maintenance are critical to maximizing equipment lifespan and minimizing on-site risk. Key guidelines include:
Pre-operation: Confirm the host crane’s lifting capacity matches load requirements, inspect hydraulic hoses for wear or damage, and ensure all control levers are in neutral before engaging the hydraulic system.
Operation: Never exceed the rated lifting capacity, maintain a clear path for load movement, and avoid sudden hydraulic movements that may cause load swing or instability.
Maintenance: Regularly lubricate pivot points and hydraulic cylinder pins, monitor hydraulic oil levels before each use, and replace worn components immediately. All maintenance work should be performed by trained, qualified personnel.
