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
