Saw Grapple – Vosch 1650 7T VC

Engineering and Design: Robustness for Critical Environments
Designed with a “total durability” philosophy, the Vosch 1650-7T VC stands out for its oversized jaws and a frame built for the most severe conditions. Its engineering is specifically tailored for controlled sectional felling in high-risk zones (roadside, power lines, or railways), where safety and precision are non-negotiable. Every component is shielded to maximize service life and minimize technical downtime.

Gripping Power and High-Performance Rotation
At the core of this equipment are 4 HD slew motors delivering 58 kNm of torque. This allows the operator to position and hold heavy stems with full stability, even at challenging angles. With a clamping force of 57.6 kN and a working pressure of 350 bar, it ensures the timber remains firmly secured throughout the entire cutting and handling process, eliminating dangerous vibrations.

Cutting Quality and Integrated Technology:
Equipped with a 3/4″ pitch saw unit and a 100 cm saw bar, the 1650-7T VC slices through logs up to 80 cm in diameter with exceptional precision. The integration is seamless: via the built-in hydraulic block and the in-cab adjustment screen, the operator can manage hydraulic priorities and perform saw bar maintenance (such as lowering the bar for chain replacement) remotely and easily.

Fleet Compatibility:
This felling saw is optimized for

• Tracked or Wheeled Excavators: 14 – 21 ton range.
  
• Hydraulic Flow: Requires 120 – 220 l/min for smooth operation.
  
• Installation: Designed for direct connection to the hammer line.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):

1. Is it difficult to install on a standard excavator?
Not at all. It is designed to connect directly to the hammer line and features an integrated hydraulic block that greatly simplifies mounting. Additionally, all parameters are easily controlled from the in-cab display.

2. What are the advantages of a 3/4″ chain over a standard one?
The 3/4″ chain is significantly more robust; it drastically reduces the risk of breakage during heavy-duty cuts and allows for professional-grade cutting speeds even in hardwoods or large-diameter logs.

3. Can I use it for loading trucks in addition to felling?
Yes, it is a highly versatile tool. Its high clamping and rotation force make it an exceptional loading grapple for moving logs at the roadside or loading them onto trucks.

4. How is the saw maintenance performed?
It is very straightforward. The system allows you to lower the guide bar directly from the cab, providing easy access for chain changes without the need for awkward positions or complex tools.

5. Is it suitable for working near power lines?
That is its specialty. By allowing you to securely grip the section before cutting (sectional dismantling system), you prevent branches from falling uncontrollably onto infrastructure.
