AMI Pipe and Pole Grapple for Backhoe Loaders

AMI Pipe and Pole Grapple for Backhoe Loaders

The AMI Pipe and Pole Grapple for Backhoe Loaders is a heavy-duty material handling attachment designed to safely lift, clamp, carry, and position pipe, utility poles, posts, and other long materials. Its 2-stage hydraulic grapple picks up the load and then clamps evenly across the entire row of pipe or poles, helping keep material secure while traveling across the jobsite.

Built for pipeline construction, utility work, road construction, drainage projects, oil and gas operations, and heavy material handling, the AMI Pipe and Pole Grapple combines a wide 96-inch frame with heavy-duty 54-inch tines for handling demanding loads.

Backhoe Loader Pipe Grapple

Moving pipe with standard pallet forks can be challenging because round material can roll or shift while the machine is traveling.

The AMI Backhoe Loader Pipe Grapple adds a hydraulic clamping system designed specifically to secure these difficult loads. Once the material is positioned on the tines, the grapple clamps down across the load to provide additional control.

This makes the attachment ideal for loading, unloading, transporting, stacking, and positioning pipe and poles around construction and utility jobsites.

2-Stage Hydraulic Grapple

A key feature of the AMI Pipe and Pole Grapple is its 2-stage hydraulic grapple system.

The grapple is designed to first pick the load and then clamp down evenly across the entire row of pipe or poles. This helps secure multiple pieces of material together instead of allowing individual pieces to move independently during transport.

The result is better load control when handling long, round, and difficult-to-secure materials.

96″ Wide Pipe Grapple Frame

The AMI Pipe and Pole Grapple features a 96-inch-wide frame, providing a broad working area for handling multiple pieces of pipe or other long materials.

The wide frame helps support the load across a larger area, while the hydraulic grapple applies pressure from above to help keep the material secured during travel.

Heavy-Duty 54″ Tines

The AMI grapple is equipped with 1.75" × 5" × 54" tines.

These heavy-duty tines provide the reach and support required to get underneath pipe, poles, and other long materials. Combined with the 2-stage grapple, the tine design allows the attachment to support material from below while securely clamping it from above.

Pipe Grapple for Pipeline Construction

The AMI Pipeline Pipe Grapple is designed for demanding material-handling applications where pipe must be moved repeatedly throughout a project.

Operators can use the attachment to move pipe from staging areas, unload deliveries, organize pipe along the right-of-way, and position material where crews need it.

The grapple is well suited for pipeline construction, water and sewer installation, drainage projects, utility construction, and oil and gas applications.

Pole Grapple for Utility Work

In addition to pipe handling, the attachment is designed as an AMI Pole Grapple for moving long poles and similar materials.

The hydraulic grapple helps secure round material while the long tines support the load underneath, making the attachment useful for utility and construction crews handling poles, posts, and other long materials.
