Doosan 14T Crawler Excavator  – With Tree Grapple

The Doosan DX140LC-7 with tree grapple

Crawler Excavator, when paired with a tree grapple, becomes an incredibly efficient machine for clearing trees, moving large logs, and handling bulky debris. This setup is commonly used in forestry, land clearing, and tree maintenance, making it ideal for both large-scale commercial projects and smaller residential jobs.

Key Features

  • Tree Grapple Attachment

Highly effective at grabbing, lifting, and moving trees and large debris. The grapple’s design includes multiple sharp, sturdy jaws that can securely grip logs, trunks, or branches, allowing for easy transportation across the site. The hydraulic functions of the excavator provide precise control, ensuring that delicate handling and manipulation of the materials are possible even in tight spots. 

  • Stability and Manoeuvrability

The crawler undercarriage of the DX140LC-7 provides excellent stability and balance, especially when working on uneven or rough terrain, which is common in tree clearance operations. The added weight and low center of gravity allow the excavator to maintain control while lifting heavy loads, ensuring safety during the entire operation

  • Engine Power & Efficiency:

Powered by a Doosan 4-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine, the DX140LC-7 delivers 101.3 kW (136.4 hp) of power, making it capable of handling demanding tasks with ease

  • Blade Attachment

Comes with a dozer blade, adding to its versatility, particularly for landscaping, levelling, and clearing tasks. The blade attachment allows operators to push dirt or debris, smooth out the surface, and move materials efficiently

  • Hydraulic System:

provides powerful lifting force, smooth operation, and efficient fuel consumption. This ensures that the excavator can lift, dig, and move heavy materials like tree trunks and large branches in tree clearance operations with ease.

Ideal for Projects:

  • Tree Clearance: Quickly and safely handle fallen trees, trunks, and large branches.
  • Landscaping: Clear land for development or new projects with minimal environmental impact.
  • Forestry: Efficiently grab and transport logs or tree debris, even in remote or uneven areas.

Case Study

At Nimrod we all about efficiency and getting the job done right. We recently completed a tree clearance project in Stockton for a major distributor, this was a perfect example of how proper planning and the right equipment lead to success.

The day before the job started, we prepped the team and sent out the plant, including the powerful Ufkes Chip 942 chipper and our 14-tonne excavator fitted with a tree grapple on it way thanks to our haulage partner. Having all this in place meant we were ready to hit the ground running first thing Monday morning.

When we arrived at the site, the plan was straightforward: clear the trees, grind the waste into chipped as per the clients request. The 14-tonne excavator with tree grapple made light work of lifting and positioning large trunks and branches, while the Ufkes Chip 942 efficiently processed the waste into manageable chips. This combination allowed us to clear the site quickly and safely, even with a few tricky spots requiring extra attention.

By the end of week the Stockton site was cleared. The client was pleased with the speed and efficiency of the job, and we met our deadline with ease. The success of this project showcased the power of planning, the right machinery, and a skilled team. At Nimrod Environmental, we always ensure that jobs like this are completed with minimal disruption and maximum efficiency.

Another job well done!
