A device for gripping one or more elongated element(s), includes two main gripping arms adapted to hold a load between them. This type of device is often used in a mobile machine such as a wheel loader for handling lumber. One or more hydraulic cylinders move the main gripping arms relative to one another for gripping a load. At least one auxiliary gripping arm controlled by a second hydraulic cylinder moves the auxiliary gripping arm relative to the main gripping arms in order to further engage the load against the main gripping arms. The second hydraulic cylinder is connected operationally to the first hydraulic cylinder in such a way that the movement of the auxiliary gripping arm is initiated only when the piston of the first hydraulic cylinder reaches a predetermined position.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de préhension d'un ou de plusieurs éléments allongés, qui comprend deux bras de préhension principaux (1, 2) conçus pour retenir ledit (lesdits) élément(s) entre eux; et au moins un premier vérin hydraulique (6, 7) pour déplacer les deux bras de préhension principaux l'un relativement à l'autre. Le dispositif comprend également au moins un bras de préhension auxiliaire (3, 4) et au moins un second vérin hydraulique auxiliaire (8, 9) pour déplacer le bras de préhension auxiliaire relativement aux bras de préhension principaux afin de presser ledit (lesdits) élément(s) contre ces derniers. Le second vérin hydraulique auxiliaire (8, 9) est relié de manière fonctionnelle au premier vérin hydraulique (6, 7) de sorte que le mouvement du bras de préhension auxiliaire (3, 4) n'est déclenché que lorsque le piston du premier vérin hydraulique atteint une position préétablie.
