LANDYINDUS ME-TG / E-TG 360° Rotating Hydraulic Timber Grapple | Hydraulic Rotator Motor + Heavy-Duty Slew Ring & Pinion | Full Continuous 360° Rotation Under Load | 95–2,090mm Opening | S30, S40, S50 & S60 | 16 MPa | 60 LPM | Log Handling, Timber Loading & Land Clearing
The LANDYINDUS E-TG 360° Rotating Hydraulic Timber Grapple is the premium excavator attachment for forestry operators who demand maximum flexibility, precision, and efficiency in log handling, timber loading, and land-clearing applications. The hydraulic rotator motor, working in conjunction with a heavy-duty slew ring and pinion, delivers full, continuous 360° rotation that allows operators to position, orient, and place timber with pinpoint accuracy without repositioning the excavator itself.
360° Rotation — Align Logs to Truck Bed, Sort Piles, Maneuver Through Obstacles Without Moving the Excavator
The productivity advantage of a rotating timber grapple is immediately apparent on any forestry or logging jobsite:
- Timber truck loading — rotate logs to align perfectly with the truck bed in one smooth motion, eliminating multiple repositioning passes that fixed grapples require
- Log sorting yards — precise placement into sorted piles regardless of the log’s initial orientation
- Land clearing — maneuver felled trees, root balls, and large brush through tight spaces and around obstacles without machine repositioning
- Processing yards — orient logs for debarking, sawing, or stacking in a single controlled rotation
360° Rotating Timber Grapple vs Fixed Timber Grapple vs Mechanical Grapple
| Feature | Mechanical Grapple (E-TD/E-PD) | Fixed Hydraulic Timber Grapple | 360° Rotating Timber Grapple (This) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rotation | None | None — fixed position | Full 360° continuous under load |
| Log alignment | Excavator repositioning required | Excavator repositioning required | Rotate in place — no repositioning |
| Timber truck loading | Slow — multiple passes | Slow — multiple passes | Fast — single rotation to align |
| Tight space maneuvering | Limited | Limited | Rotate through obstacles in place |
| Tine profile | General purpose | Curved for round timber | Curved — maximizes round timber contact |
| Hydraulic rotator | No | No | Yes — slew ring & pinion drive |
| Best for | Bulk land clearing, demolition | Forestry, log handling | Timber loading, log sorting, precision forestry |
Curved Tines Profiled for Round Timber — Maximum Contact Area, Secure Grip During Full Rotation
The grapple tines are curved and profiled specifically for round timber, maximizing contact area and grip security during rotation, lifting, and transport — ensuring that logs remain securely held even when fully rotated or positioned at extreme angles. A flat-tine grapple loses contact area on round logs as the log rolls within the grip; the curved profile maintains consistent clamping force across the full log diameter throughout the rotation cycle.
Four Models — S30 to S60, 95mm to 2,090mm Opening
| Model | Dimensions W×D×H (mm) | Opening Range (mm) | Bracket | Pressure (MPa) | Flow (LPM) | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ME-TG22S-S30-360° | 794×362×775 | 95–1,320 | S30 | 16 | 60 | 192 |
| ME-TG22S-S40-360° | 794×381×784 | 95–1,320 | S40 | 16 | 60 | 209 |
| E-TG28S-S50-360° | 872×539×844 | 100–1,500 | S50 | 16 | 60 | 374 |
| E-TG42S-S60-360° | 1,138×603×1,039 | 130–2,090 | S60 | 16 | 60 | 663 |
Note on ME-TG22S S30 vs S40: Both share the same 95–1,320mm opening range and similar dimensions — select by excavator bracket type only. S30 (192kg) suits smaller machines; S40 (209kg) suits 2–3.5T class.
Hydraulic Rotator System — Slew Ring & Pinion Drive, Continuous Heavy-Duty Use
The hydraulic rotator system is engineered for continuous heavy-duty use, with the slew ring and pinion drive providing smooth, consistent rotation under full load across thousands of operating cycles. All models operate at 16 MPa with 60 LPM, integrating seamlessly with standard excavator hydraulic systems without requiring additional valve blocks or complex plumbing modifications.
