Ragnartech’s new PowerGrab 1800 is our solution to the crane size requirements of our previous models. Weighing approximately 1950 lbs (about 1700lbs after subtracting the weight of a standard crane ball), this model maintains vertical load holding capabilities while catering to lighter cranes.
This robust machine is designed to significantly decrease, or even fully eliminate, the need for a climber. From the comfort of the crane cab, equipped with Ragnartech’s wired remote control integrated-into-the-crane joysticks, the operator can efficiently grab, cut, and securely hold selected tree sections swiftly and safely.
The fast cycle time of the PowerGrab 1800 gives the operator the option to take smaller sections, making it easier to place them on tight lay-down areas, while saving substantial time overall. This model features a 24″ bar saw that’s hydraulically activated in both directions, allowing for efficient bi-directional cutting.
The PowerGrab can also be used to just grab a tree while it is cut at the ground by a saw operator, again eliminating the need for a climber. The operation is powered by a 35 hp electric motor driving the hydraulic pump, supplied by 5.6KW of rechargeable batteries.
For ease of transport, the grapple is quickly disconnected from the zero twist assembly, making it simple to place the PowerGrab 1800 in the back of a pickup truck or on a trailer, and effortlessly prepare it for crane transport.
In addition, the detached zero twist has an optional hook attachment, which can expedite and simplify any heavy lift duties. The PowerGrab 1800 provides a comprehensive solution for your tree care needs, bolstered by ample power, convenience and flexibility.
