TMG Industrial TMG-GB72 72" Grapple BucketBudget
🟢 Standard Flow
View on tmgindustrial.com →
Overview
The TMG-GB72 is a solid-bottom grapple bucket combining the scoop capability of a GP bucket with twin independent hydraulic clamping arms. At 72 inches wide, it handles brush pickup, waste removal, scrap sorting, and general material moving. The ¾-inch hardened cutting edge scrapes cleanly along the ground, and the 4-inch primary frame tubing keeps the structure rigid under repeated load cycles. Dual cylinders deliver up to 3,000 lb of grappling force with a 35-inch grab opening. Fits standard SSQA mount. For Canadian operators who want one attachment to move both loose debris and solid material without swapping implements.
Canada Availability
TMG Industrial ships from Richmond, BC. National shipping available across Canada.

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
