Timber beaks/ pallet log grabs

[billpierce]

Anyone use a cheapo one that you pop on a set of pallet forks? Any good? It's that or make one.

Many times I have wondered about fitting such a device to my old telehandler.  Interested to see what response you get.

I have the beak on the forks for the Avant, it’s excellent for lifting multiple irregular lengths and if you can only get in to lift 1 side due to ltd access.  When it comes to brash it’s as good as you can imagine.  1 bolt and it lifts off.

I got a cheap Kelfri one I cut down for the avant and it’s good but metals a bit bendy 👍 … I can’t justify buying a normal timber grab as you can probably carry/ drag brush piles 5 times the size on open sites we are mostly on as you have seen mate.

Would keep large logs steady but not a necessity mate if your gonna put it on the 2650.

Cant imagine trying to use a telehandler in this game without a beak/clamp.Invaluable addition.

Useful looking telehandler.  Makes me quite embarrassed about my old wreck! To be fair we only use it in our own yard, but it would be better with a grab or beak.

I have one of these handy for logs and brash also easy to put on and take off.

Definitely want one of these for my yard loader, make handling timber, brash and even scrap easier and safer.

I bet it'd be one of those things where as soon as it arrives I wish I'd bought it years ago😅😒

Aye it's for the 2650 ( still In garage). I'll see if I can find a kelfri one. Any idea where you got it?

There’s a kelfri dealer in bishop Auckland mate, I would just be wary it’s Chinese steel , but it’s possibly also because I cut it down to fit the avant it’s exerted stress where it should not have.. it’s not serious and still works fine and to be honest the avant steel seems to bend as much 😆
