New Grapple Designs From Hultdins

Mar 9, 2026 - 3 months ago

Hultdins presents the new designs for their SG360, SG360R, SG260, and SG260R grapples.

New Grapple Designs From Hultdins — *The newly-designed 360 and 360R Grapples from Hultdins.*

These reinforced mid-size grapples now follow the same development path as the larger S-line models, adopting a proven Heavy-Duty design in a more compact format. The redesign includes stronger materials, optimized geometry and improved durability — all developed in close cooperation with end-users.

The new SG360 and SG360R offer significant improvements:

Stronger – forged bearing housings in the grapple arms provide increased strength and stiffness.
Optimized geometry – enhanced performance, improved grip characteristics and smoother material flow.
Wear-resistant tip plates – increased service life in demanding applications (not applicable for log grapples without knives).
R-model reinforcement – SG360R includes additional strengthening beyond the standard model.
The new SG360 and SG360R grapples will be available by the end of Q2 2026.

Newly-designed SG260 and the SG260R grapples

The design of the updated standard grapples is based on the previous generation, further refined with optimized geometry, reduced weight and improved durability. The development has been carried out in close cooperation with our end users, focusing on real customer benefits.

As with all new SuperGrip models, the design benefits from updated S-line construction principles such as high-strength materials in key load points and improved arm-to-frame interfaces.

The new SG260 and SG260R offer significant improvements:

Lighter – less weight but retained strength.
Optimized geometry – enhanced performance, improved grip characteristics and smoother material flow.
Wear-resistant tip plates – increased service life in demanding applications (not applicable for log grapples without knives).
R-model reinforcement – SG260R includes additional strengthening beyond the standard model.
The SG260 and SG260R grapples will be available during Q2 2026.
