The three newest WOODCRACKER developments in focus!

Our new machines as highlights at BAUMA 2025

Woodcracker® CS800 dualGrip – Like a Pro

The CS800 dualGrip is the largest grapple saw in our portfolio and a technical advancement of the CS780. With a cutting diameter of up to 800 mm and a gripper opening of 1600 mm, the machine is mounted on excavators weighing 20 – 28 tons. A special feature: In addition to the .404″ saw chain, a ¾” saw chain is also available!

The dualGrip system, featuring two independent grapples, adapts individually to trees, ensuring precise handling even under challenging conditions. It is particularly advantageous for use in urban areas and along roadsides, as it prevents damage to surrounding buildings or power lines.

The hydraulic chainsaw with an automatic chain tensioner ensures consistent tension and prevents failures due to chain derailment. The actively spring-mounted saw box protects the saw blade from bending. Two chain lubrication systems (grease and oil) provide flexibility: Grease offers longer-lasting lubrication and prevents oil mist from contaminating the driver’s cabin, while oil is easier to maintain.
Made from robust Hardox® steel and coated with cathodic dip painting (KTL) and powder coating, the durability of the machine is guaranteed. The standard rotatable tiltator allows flexible operation from all angles and facilitates the loading of cut materials. A Power-tiltator for double turning and holding torque is available as an option.

Woodgripper WG1600 – The All-Rounder

The series of Woodgripper has been expanded with the new 5-finger gripper WG16005 and the 7-finger gripper WG16007, bringing a total to three machine sizes.

With a gripper opening of 1600 mm, this machine is particularly suitable for collecting, loading, and handling logs, branches, and brushwood. It is used for processing already felled trees and clearing wind-thrown wood. Additionally, it enables the loading of roundwood as well as gripping and sawing wooden pieces.

Technical highlights of the Woodgripper series include powerful, synchronously closing grapple fingers and a wide opening stroke. The grapple is primarily mounted on excavators and is optionally available with a saw unit. As with other models, Hardox® steel and KTL surface treatment have been used for maximum durability.

Woodcracker® CS615 smart – The Powerful Lightweight

Alongside the CS750 smart grapple saw, a smaller and lighter version has been developed: the CS615 smart.
Designed for telescopic handlers weighing between 10 – 20 tons, it features a maximum cutting diameter of 610 mm, a total weight of only 670 kg, and a gripper opening of 1270 mm. This model is primarily used for safety tree felling, precise removal of trees in sections, particularly in urban areas, along roads and tracks, as well as in confined or hard-to-access locations near infrastructure networks.

Technically, the CS615 smart is equipped with a strong grapple ensuring a secure grip on cut materials. The spring-mounted and swinging saw box protects the saw blade from bending under high forces.

The powerful, continuously rotating tiltator allows flexible positioning in various working angles, providing optimal maneuverability. The automatic chain tensioner keeps the saw chain at the correct tension at all times, preventing it from derailing. Additionally, the grease-based chain lubrication ensures long-lasting, economical lubrication and prevents oil mist from dirtying the driver’s cabin. Thanks to its Hardox® steel construction and KTL surface treatment, the machine is exceptionally robust and low-wear.
