Log & Pole Hold-Down Clamps for Heavy-Duty Material Handling
Fork-Co’s Log and Pole Hold-Down Clamp, also called a log grappler, is a heavy-duty forklift attachment designed to secure logs, poles, and other large cylindrical materials during lifting, transport, and positioning. Its hold-down design helps reduce rolling and shifting, giving operators greater control when handling irregular loads.
Designed for demanding log and pole handling applications, this attachment supports material movement through storage yards, loading areas, and processing operations. It helps stabilize loads against the forks during pickup, transport, and placement.
Available in ITA Class III and Class IV configurations, Fork-Co’s log grappler can be configured for high-capacity applications up to 45,000 pounds, depending on the attachment setup and supporting equipment. The appropriate configuration depends on your forklift, load dimensions, weight, and handling requirements.
