Adjustable Opening: Expands up to 81 cm (32") to securely fit logs of varying girths and irregular shapes.
Secure Talon Claw Grip: Four angled, sharp claw tips bite deep into the wood, adapting to any log diameter to ensure a rock-solid hold whilst lifting, dragging, or skidding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this timber grab work with irregular or exceptionally large tree trunks?

Yes, the adjustable claws and wide 81 cm opening are designed to securely grip timber of various shapes and sizes, including misshapen and oversized felled trees.

Does the grapple mechanism close automatically when lifted?

Yes, it features a scissor-action design. As you lift or pull the lifting ring, the weight of the log forces the claws to bite and pull tightly shut. The heavier the log, the stronger the grip.

Is it suitable for dragging (skidding) as well as lifting?

Absolutely. It is highly effective for both vertical lifting (e.g., loading timber onto a trailer with a telehandler) and horizontal dragging (skidding) behind a 4x4, quad bike, or compact tractor.

How do I attach this to my tractor, telehandler, or quad bike?

You can attach the grapple using a standard heavy-duty lifting chain, D-shackle, or rated lifting strap. Just ensure your attachment method is rated for the weight of the timber and fits securely through the grapple's heavy-duty top eyelet.

Can one person operate this safely?

Yes, most users find it manageable to operate solo. However, for exceptionally heavy loads or when working on uneven woodland terrain, having a second person acting as a banksman is recommended to comply with health and safety best practices.

Does it leave marks or damage on the logs?

The sharp claw tips will leave minor puncture marks where they bite into the bark, particularly on softer woods. However, these are generally superficial and won't affect the timber's use for firewood or milling.

Is the paint finish durable? Will it survive being left in a damp barn?

The premium powder-coated finish provides excellent resistance to rust and chipping, specifically designed to withstand the damp and muddy conditions typical of UK woodlands and farms. With basic care, it will resist corrosion for years.

Can I use this for moving large rocks, concrete, or rubble?

No, this tool is purpose-built for timber and logs. Using it on stone or concrete may blunt, bend, or severely damage the steel claws and is highly discouraged.

Is any routine maintenance required?

Maintenance is minimal. Simply hose or wipe off heavy mud and store it in a dry shed or barn after use. We recommend occasionally checking the bolts and applying a little grease or WD-40 to the moving pivot points to keep the scissor mechanism operating smoothly.

Reviews

So smooth on the rotation

We are very pleased indeed with these Garvee tongs. They add a wonderful level of flexibility to our daily timber handling and feel incredibly solid to use.

Brilliant 360-degree swivel

Love the fact that this comes with a proper 360 swivel. We run a tight yard and being able to rotate the log while lifting is a proper game changer.

Incredibly robust frame

The swivel hook on these tongs is brilliant. It stays freely rotating even when we are dragging 500kg of timber across the muddy forest floor. No chain binding at all.

Very nice and heavy duty. Used it on my mini digger to move some metal and big logs ready to split. A lot lower price than some I have looked and free delivery which was quicker than I expected
