The Bradco Tree and Shrub Grapple is the newest addition to Paladin Attachment’s line up of grapples.
Mounted on compact tool carriers, the tree and shrub grapple can remove small trees, shrubs, ornamentals and small stumps. With its power hydraulic system, the grapple can remove a whole plant, including the stump, tap and secondary root system in one step, a time saving alternative to shovels, axes and chains.
Paladin recently tested the grapple at a residential condominium site. In only three hours, the contractor was able to remove more than 50 small trees and shrubs. This was considerably faster than a two-man crew using conventional tools would have taken to complete the job.
The tree and shrub grapple is constructed of half-inch AR 400 and AR 235 steel, the grapple weighs 185 pounds. The hydraulic system has a maximum working pressure (PSI) of 3,000 pounds.
The grapple is also suitable for a variety of other applications including the breakup and removal of asphalt driveways, removal of small stumps and similar sized materials.
