  • Modern bypass grapple design.                                                                                                                           
  • Every joint has a bronze bushing, and there is a grease fitting for every joint.
  • Large, powerful cylinder.
  • Double connection rods provide good balance and less stress.
  • A belly plate protects the cylinder from underneath.
  • The Valby bypass grapples have excellent geometry. The form of the claws enables a smooth roll in of the stems. The grapples also close to a tight minimum opening.
