Looking for a grapple truck

[CTS1999]

Any of you have recommendations on where to buy a decent used one?

I see All Florida Truck Sales has some. Anybody with good or bad experience with them? I'm located in GA

I'm thinking along the lines of single axle, 33k gvw with a big enough box to put a good bit of brush in.

Thanks

Since its already a cdl truck why not go to at least a tandem axle. 33K with a any decent sized loader will only be good for brush, won't have enough capacity if you have more than a few large logs at once.

Good point. I didn't take into consideration the loader would be that heavy. CDL is no problem. I was thinking smaller truck for the tight places we are in more times than not. I'm wide open to comments on this folks! Thanks

We have a single axle 33k truck and no way in the world would get a dual axle. Because we put it in yards and a dual axle could not get into the places we get into. Although we do overload it many times it has always been tough and can get a lot done!

Time to add a lift tag axle!

Depends on what loader you go with but I'd plan on the loader it self weighing 6-7K

I bought a grapple truck 2 months ago from First Fleet Truck Sales in South Florida.
In terms of production this truck has been the absolute best decision I have made for my company so far.
I've been happy with their work so far.
