At 180kg and with a 1300mm grapple opening, it is built for the bigger jobs. Larger diameter timber. Heavier site clearance. Storm damage on a serious scale. Fabricated from \u003cstrong\u003eHardox steel\u003c\/strong\u003e throughout in our Fermanagh workshop, it grips, lifts and moves timber and debris with controlled precision on every pass. Every Viper 1300 is built to order with a custom headstock matched exactly to your excavator, and hydraulic pipes are included as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor contractors running 6 to 13 ton machines across Ireland and Northern Ireland, the Viper 1300 is the attachment that turns your excavator into a year-round earner. When the hedge cutting season closes at the end of February and your saw head or flail goes in the shed, the Viper gets to work. Clear the storm damage, handle the ash dieback removals, stack the felled timber at the plantation. One machine, year-round contracts, built to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mce-pain-box\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"mce-pain-title\"\u003eWhen you are running a 6 to 13 ton machine, the jobs are bigger, the timber is heavier, and the cost of the wrong attachment is real.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn undersized grab that cannot handle large diameter logs is not just slow. It is dangerous. A grab that does not match your machine properly puts unnecessary strain on your excavator arm and costs you time on every single lift. Contractors running 6 to 13 ton machines are taking on the bigger clearance contracts, the larger plantation jobs, the serious roadside and boundary work. That work demands a grab with the capacity and the build quality to handle it. The Viper 1300 is built specifically for your machine class. 1300mm grapple opening. 180kg. Custom headstock. Pipes included. Built in Fermanagh to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mce-storm-box\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"mce-storm-title\"\u003e🌪 The Danger Nobody Talks About. Moving Large Fallen Trees Without the Right Machine.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fallen oak or mature ash tree can weigh several tonnes. When it is lying across a road, boundary ditch or plantation ride after a storm, somebody has to move it. Chainsaw crews on the ground working around unstable timber are at serious risk. A grab that is too small for the job loses control of the load mid-lift. Both scenarios cost time, money and in the worst cases, a lot more than that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Viper 1300 puts the operator in control from inside the cab. One machine. One operator. Grip the timber, place it where you want it, move on. No crew on the ground. No undersized attachment struggling with logs it was never built for. The 1300mm grapple opening and 180kg build weight give you the capacity to handle the kind of large diameter timber that storms and ash dieback are generating right across Ireland and Northern Ireland right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor contractors who have already seen what happens when the wrong machine tries to handle the wrong job, the Viper 1300 is the answer. Built to your 6 to 13 ton excavator. Hardox steel throughout. Pipes included. Workshop backup in Fermanagh when you need it.

The Viper 1300 is built for 6 to 13 ton machines, weighs 180kg and has a 1300mm grapple opening. The 1300 handles larger diameter timber, heavier logs and more serious storm damage work.

With 180kg of attachment weight and a 1300mm grapple opening, the Viper 1300 has the capacity to handle large fallen trees and heavy debris from serious storm events. One operator can grip, lift and place large fallen timber safely and efficiently from inside the cab, without a chainsaw crew on the ground and without the risks of manual handling around unstable fallen trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mce-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mce-faq-q\"\u003eCan the Viper 1300 be used for ash dieback removal?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mce-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Ash dieback is causing widespread tree loss across Ireland and Northern Ireland, and the felling and removal of infected ash trees is now a major workstream for forestry and agricultural contractors. The Viper 1300 handles large ash timber safely from inside the cab, which is especially important when working with structurally unpredictable ash dieback trees on roadsides and boundary lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mce-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mce-faq-q\"\u003eCan I use the Viper 1300 all year round in Ireland?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mce-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Timber grabs carry no government seasonal restriction. Unlike hedge cutting attachments such as saw heads, flail heads and tree shears, the Viper 1300 can be used every day of the year. This makes it one of the best investments for any contractor with a 6 to 13 ton excavator, because it keeps the machine earning during the six months when cutting attachments cannot be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mce-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mce-faq-q\"\u003eWill the Viper 1300 fit my excavator make and model?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mce-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Every Viper 1300 headstock is custom fabricated to your excavator specification. It does not matter what make or model you are running.
