Unique Hand Shape

Unique hand shape makes slipping between bales easy and prevents damage to both the bale you are handling and the bales either side. They also allow for closer stacking.

Compact Design

Top Exit Hoses

Slim Hands

The unique hand design is the slimmest of all bale handlers requiring no more than 50mm (1.96”) for the hand to slide between bales. This means less wrap damage, and less chance of pushing a bale off the stack.

Protected Hydraulic Ram
