What Are Knuckleboom Loaders?

As a type of swing equipment, knuckleboom loaders have a boom designed strategically for log handling applications. This equipment is available in wheel-based, track-based or trailer-mounted models to work with your requirements. Built with fast and efficient hydraulics, knuckleboom loaders have an optimal design for quick swing and boom functions. The equipment's grapples include a rotator and pin-mounting feature to optimize log positioning and loading.

Different types of knuckleboom loaders offer additional operational capabilities. One option is a set of forks that work together with the loader's grapple to allow for more efficient handling. You can select between various grapples, including bunching, log and pulpwood grapples, to handle your specific applications. Attaching a heel to the grapple or boom can deliver even more control for log handling.
