View on hlaattachments.com →
Overview
The HLA SB72GR66 combines a 72-inch standard skid steer bucket with an integrated utility grapple that opens up to 70 inches. This bucket-grapple combination handles the dual-duty work common on Canadian construction and acreage sites — loading loose material like a bucket, then clamping down on brush, logs, or demolition debris when needed. Two 2.5-inch x 8-inch cylinders power the grapple. Made by HLA Attachments in Ontario.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You need more versatility than a bucket — grab, hold, and move irregular loads
- You clear brush, debris, or demolition material where a bucket loses control of the load
⛔ Skip if…
- Dense, uniform material (gravel, sand, soil) is better handled by a GP bucket with more capacity per cycle
- The grapple weight would push you near your machine's ROC limit with this load type
🔍 Also consider…
- GP bucket for high-volume dense material work
- Root grapple for brush-heavy clearing jobs
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid to large-frame machines (S450–S750 class) are the best fit for this width.

Care & Maintenance
- Grease all pivot points every 8 hours of operation — this single habit extends service life more than any other maintenance step
- Inspect tines for bending or cracking after use in rock or demolition debris — bent tines cause uneven closing force and can fail under load
- Check hydraulic hose connections and fittings weekly — grapple hoses take more abuse than most attachments due to constant jaw cycling near rough material
- Inspect cylinder pins and bushings monthly; sloppiness in the jaws indicates worn bushings, not just general age — replace before the pin starts wearing the bore
- Store with jaws closed to reduce stress on the frame and keep the hinge pivot pins from accumulating debris
How to Connect
- Mount using same Bob-Tach process as buckets
- Connect hydraulic couplers (depressurized — release aux hydraulics first)
- Verify open/close direction at idle before working
- Test grapple open/close 3× before lifting any load
⚠ Safety NoteConnect hydraulic lines before mounting to machine where possible
