Werk-Brau Skid Steer Grapple Bucket
Overview
Werk-Brau's grapple bucket is a clamshell-style attachment for skid steers built to handle scrap metal, brush, refuse, and light cumbersome material. The grapple arms are hydraulically operated and built with high-tensile-strength steel. Tapered side plates reduce side wear and allow easier dumping. Werk-Brau distributes through Canadian dealers.

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
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid-frame machines (S450–S650 class) are the most common fit.
