Virnig V60 LCG72 Large Capacity Skeleton Grapple for Skid Steers
Overview
The Virnig V60 LCG72 is a 73-inch overall width large capacity skeleton grapple for skid steers and compact loaders with a minimum 2,400 lb capacity. Compared to the Root Rake Grapple, the LCG72 has more depth (46 inches) and a larger jaw opening at 62.8 inches — built for handling bulk material and bulky logs in a single grab. The smooth tine tips handle large debris without the soil-digging capability of the Root Rake Grapple. Best for operators focused on material movement rather than land clearing.

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
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.
