The five-tine version of the 6013 body: a wider mouth and one more contact point for mixed loads of timber, brash and stone.
Adding a fifth tine spreads the clamping force over a longer arc, which matters when the load is not a clean cylinder. Branches, split logs and mixed debris are held on more points and are less likely to slip out during transport across rough ground.

Dimensions, opening and working load are confirmed against your drawing before production. Nothing on this page is a substitute for that confirmation.
What it is used for
- Mixed timber and brash handling
- Clearing site after felling where offcuts vary in size
- Loading split firewood and slab wood
- Picking demolition timber with fixings still attached
How it is built
- Five tines in a single plane, welded to a reinforced body
- Tine tips profiled for grip without sharpening the edge
- Replaceable bushings at every pivot
- Cylinder rod protected against knocks
- Supplied with hoses and quick couplers
What to send with your inquiry
- Excavator make and model, and the lift chart if you have it
- Coupler type – S30, S40, S45, S80 – or the pin diameter and centre distance
- Auxiliary hydraulic flow and pressure (litres per minute and bar)
- What you will handle: log diameter and length, or material type for a clamshell
- Any opening or width the job requires
- Photos of the machine and the coupler help more than a written description
Ordering notes
Each unit is built to the headstock and hydraulic specification confirmed on the drawing. Confirm the drawing before production starts – after the body is cut and the headstock is machined, changes to the pin pattern mean a new headstock, not an adjustment. Spare bushings and pins can be supplied with the unit so the first rebuild does not wait on parts.
Questions we are usually asked
Is the extra tine worth it over the four-tine version?
For clean trunks the difference is small. For mixed or irregular timber the fifth tine holds the load noticeably steadier, and it reduces the chance of a log working loose in transit.
What is the maximum opening?
Opening depends on the body and tine set you order. We confirm it against your drawing, and it can be built to a specified opening if your loads need a wider mouth.
Does the grapple come with a rotator?
A rotating head can be supplied on this body. It needs one auxiliary circuit; tell us the flow and pressure and we size the rotator to suit.
