Powerful Dual Hydraulic Grapples for Secure Rock Handling

The Heavy Duty Skid Steer Rock Grapple features two powerful2-inch bore × 10-inch stroke hydraulic cylinders designed to provide reliable gripping force when handling large rocks and irregular debris.

The hydraulic grapple arms secure material against the lower tines, helping operators lift, transport, and position heavy objects with greater control.

Unlike a standard skid steer bucket, a hydraulic rock grapple allows operators to clamp irregularly shaped materials that would otherwise be difficult to carry.

Benefits include:

• Improved control when handling large rocks and boulders

• Secure gripping of roots, brush, and construction debris

• Reduced material shifting during transport

• Faster loading and unloading

• Less manual handling and cleanup

• Increased productivity on demanding jobsites

For contractors and property owners working in rocky terrain, a heavy-duty hydraulic rock grapple can significantly improve material handling efficiency.

Reinforced Steel Tines Built for Tough Conditions

Rock handling requires an attachment capable of withstanding repeated contact with hard, abrasive materials.

This skid steer rock grapple features1/2-inch thick upper grapple tines and 3/8-inch thick lower tines, providing a durable structure for lifting, separating, and transporting rocks and debris.

The 2-3/8-inch tine spacing helps sift loose soil away from larger material, reducing unnecessary dirt collection.

This design makes the attachment especially effective for:

• Separating rocks from soil

• Removing surface stones from fields

• Collecting roots and brush

• Cleaning up construction debris

• Clearing rocky ground

• Handling mixed materials

The open-tine design also improves visibility of the material being collected compared with a solid-bottom bucket.

Heavy-Duty Cutting Edge with Optional Weld-On Teeth

The standard rock grapple features a3/4" × 6" cutting edge designed to provide durability during ground-level material collection.

For operators requiring more aggressive digging and ground engagement, an optional1" × 8" cutting edge with weld-on teeth is available.

The optional teeth help penetrate compacted material, loosen embedded rocks, and improve material collection in demanding conditions.

This makes the attachment versatile for rock removal, site preparation, and land clearing applications.

Optional Hydraulic Cylinder Rod Protection

Working with rocks, broken concrete, and demolition debris can expose hydraulic components to potential impact damage.

Optional cylinder rod covers are available to provide additional protection for the grapple's hydraulic cylinders.

These covers help shield exposed cylinder rods from debris and accidental contact, reducing the risk of damage during demanding applications.

Frequently Asked Questions – Heavy Duty Skid Steer Rock Grapples

What is a skid steer rock grapple used for?

A skid steer rock grapple is a hydraulic attachment designed to grab, lift, separate, and transport rocks, roots, brush, concrete, and other bulky materials. Its open-tine design allows loose dirt to fall through while retaining larger debris.

What size skid steer is needed for this heavy-duty rock grapple?

This heavy-duty rock grapple is designed for skid steers with 50–75 horsepower. Operators should also verify hydraulic compatibility, machine lifting capacity, and attachment weight before use.

Can a rock grapple be used on a compact track loader?

Yes. A compatible compact track loader can operate a hydraulic rock grapple when the mounting system, hydraulic connections, and machine capacity meet the attachment requirements.

What is the difference between a rock grapple and a root grapple?

Both attachments use open tines and hydraulic grapple arms. Rock grapples are designed for handling and separating rocks and hard debris, while root grapples are commonly used for brush, roots, logs, and vegetation. Their applications often overlap.

Can a skid steer rock grapple separate rocks from dirt?

Yes. The 2-3/8-inch spacing between the lower tines allows loose dirt and smaller material to fall through while retaining larger rocks and debris.

What hydraulic cylinders are used on this rock grapple?

The attachment features dual 2" × 10" hydraulic cylinders designed to provide consistent clamping force for gripping rocks and other materials.

Are weld-on teeth available?

Yes. Optional weld-on teeth are available with a 1" × 8" cutting edge for more aggressive material collection and ground engagement.

Are hydraulic cylinder rod covers available?
