The First Truck Mounted Grapple Saw in Britain!
Specially built for A.M Professional Tree Surgeons by Mac’s Trucks. Mac’s was the only company able to provide an accurate working design to our specifications. Alistair Magee knew exactly what he wanted to achieve from this vehicle. He explained to Mac’s Trucks how the correct piece of kit could make his job so much safer and speed up the process of felling trees. The concept Mac’s Trucks built for us is the first in the country.
The vehicle chosen was a VOLVO FMX460 – 8×4 but with a very short wheelbase. This gave us the perfect platform for us to achieve full 360 degree operation with no reduction in performance in any zones. The crane was a FASSI F820RA2.27 with L426 fly jib – Giving us close to 30 meters reach. Also a V20 winch was fitted for lifting trees over houses. The vehicle was also fitted with Mac’s unique front stabiliser legs to increase performance over the cab. Cameras were fitted on the end of the boom and saw which could be viewed from his remote control. Guards where fitted to the hose trays to protect them. The SG280 Grapple Saw finished off a perfect combination.
