The Manitou Woodcracker is a rotating grapple tree saw for the MRT 2260, MRT 2660 and MRT 3060 Vision plus telehandlers. The saw is capable of cutting tree branches and trunks up to 29 inches in diameter.
Each machine retains compatibility with the full line of rotating telehandler attachments. When matched with the MRT 3060 Vision plus, operators can reach heights of more than 98-feet and outreach to more than 84-feet. The maximum lifting capacity for the MRT with the tree saw attachment is 8,000 pounds.
Built from high-strength steel, the tree saw rotates 360 degrees into position to cut, hold and deliver each limb, according to the company. It can also be matched with the Manitou rotating telehandler remote control to give operators flexibility in how/where they perform the work.
Each Manitou MRT rotating telehandler equipped with the tree saw will include a forestry package with a windshield guard, boom covers and guards, hydraulic and electrical system covers, and a second return-to-tank line.
