Model 02
Gater Grapples Spider Grapple

The Arborist's Friend ... The AG12 Articulating Grapple is a remote controlled, multi-functioning hydraulic grapple equipped with a chain saw that allows arborists to prune trees safely and productively from the ground. Using hand held remote controls, the operator is able to step away from the machine to gain the greatest perspective on the work at hand. Then, controlling both the boom and grapple, he takes advantage of the 360 degree rotation plus 180 degrees of horizontal and vertical articulation to position the grapple anywhere on the tree, limited only by the boom's vertical reach. By activating a few more switches, he grabs, holds, saws and discards the limb while maintaining control of the cut piece. The grapple opens to 12 inches and closes down to 1-1/2 inches. The 16 inch chain saw is capable of making a 12 inch deep cut. The AG12 is designed for use on trailer mounted work platforms with articulating booms and typically 45 - 60 feet of vertical reach.

Model 02-60
Aerial Water Cannon

The model 02-60 Aerial Water Cannon is a new piece of fire-fighting equipment from Gater Grapples designed to assist fire fighters in battling fires. Its primary benefit is in keeping personnel out of harm’s way and avoiding the perils of structural collapse, toxic environments and other hazards associated with conventional firefighting methods. The model 02-60 is one more weapon in the fire fighters’ arsenal – supplementing existing equipment and methods, not replacing them.

The 02-60 is an 8,000 pound trailer-mounted unit which can be easily towed by a pick-up truck. Once on site with water connected and hydraulic outriggers in place, the operator stands anywhere that offers maximum visibility with minimum risk, and using hand-held radio remote controls directs the 60 foot boom, stick and articulating nozzle at any target within a 360 degree radius of the trailer. The 1-1/2 inch nozzle adjusts from off to full stream with every pattern in between. It has 180 degrees of horizontal and vertical articulation for pinpoint accuracy. Capacity at full flow is 100 gallons per minute.
