Excavator Grapples

Grapples, or grabs, are available for all excavators and are a durable, cost effective solution for long term materials handling requirements.

Excavator grapple attachments require no additional hydraulic rams or services, and are simply operated by the bucket ram, which actuates the moving half (2 tined section) whilst the static (3 tined) half, is held by a con-rod, attached to a three position bracket, which is welded to the dipper arm. All necessary pins, brackets and con-rods are included.

All our models feature Hardox® 450 material for the tines giving:
  1. STRENGTH: 1,200 MPa compared to ordinary grade mild steels like 43A (S275) at 275 MPa and 50B (S355) at 300 MPa.
  2. WEAR RESITSTANCE: typically 425 to 475 Brinell hardness, compared to 146 Brinell for 43A (S275) and 187 Brinell for 50B (S355). Obviously Hardox® is a more expensive raw material, but hugely better suited to the application.
Built in Great Britain

The solid tine grapple is ideal for general material handling duties:
  • Aggriculture
  • Landscaping
  • Forestry
  • Demolition handling light, general debris
  • Waste Transfer​
The tines are profile cut from solid Hardox® 450 material, and the two halves of the grapple are connected by twin hinge pins (supplied). The grapple attaches to the machine using the standard machine buckets pins (not supplied), and for this reason, it is generally possible to use this type of grapple with quick hitches.
​
For light, general work, you might get away without the expense of a grapple and use our Grip Talon attachment, but for heavy, continuous use, in severe applications, accept no substitutes and specify a grapple.

The Solid Tine Grapple is available with either Standard Tine profile or Timber Tine as an optional extra.
​
The information shown above details out the general specifications of our grapples - in particular, the two main types - but our sales team will be pleased to advise on the best attachment for your excavator.
