TMG Industrial TMG-SG60 60" Skeleton GrappleBudget
🟢 Standard Flow
View on tmgindustrial.com →
Overview
The TMG-SG60 is a 60-inch skeleton grapple for skid steers, designed to grab brush, logs, scrap metal, and mixed debris while letting loose dirt sift through the open tine floor. Twin hydraulic arms operate under 3,000 PSI and close over a 34-inch arc, producing up to 2,600 lb of grappling force. The open-end frame design accommodates varying log and brush lengths that would otherwise overhang a solid-bottom bucket. At 700 lbs it adds less dead weight than a solid-bottom grapple bucket, which matters on machines near their rated capacity. Flat-face couplers and hoses included. SSQA universal mount.
Canada Availability
TMG Industrial ships from Richmond, BC. National shipping available across Canada.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You handle large boulders, rip-rap, or irregular rock that a bucket can't safely grip
- You work in quarrying, shoreline work, or heavy land clearing
⛔ Skip if…
- Your rock is small and uniform — a rock bucket moves volume faster
- You need to sort debris — a grapple with fingers works better for mixed piles
🔍 Also consider…
- Industrial grapple for mixed debris with some rock
- Rock bucket if you're loading and moving more than sorting
🔧 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
