Power Grapple And Loading Attachments For Skid Steer Loaders.
Please Note: This page has many photos and loads slow - please wait,(dial-up connections may take 15 minutes to load, DSL 3-4), the photos show all dimensions and information on the product and should answer all your questions. This is the most elaborate grapple system available for skid steer loaders.
Several different grapples are available as well as the speed bagger attachment which is a specially designed clam shell type bucket that lets you scoop up sand, and while both halves are still together, lets you dump the material through two chutes. This attachment is perfect for either filling sandbags or for quickly spreading sand or salt along driveways or sidewalks. Several other unique attachments are also available on this page throughout our web site.
Features/Specifications - Power Grapple Arm
Note: The Base Plates mount to the loader arms, and the attachments mount to the base plate (all except the Speed Bagger Attachment and heavy duty pole claw) so you need a base plate to mount the attachments to.
The standard costs listed below for the base plates are for the base plates with standard quick attached universal skid steer mounts, meaning if you have a skid steer loader or medium sized tractor that either has a loader that is universal quick attach compatible or you have mounted an adapter plate on the loader arms that is universal quick attach compatible, then the cost for the base plates are as shown unless reinforcement of the base plate is needed for your application on a large loader.
If you want to mount these to a larger tractor loader, wheel loader, or backhoe that either requires a specific quick attach or pin-on mount, then there will be an extra cost as listed below. In most cases on these mounts you are paying for the custom mount and reinforcement of the baseplate. When inquiring or ordering, always let us know what you want to mount this to.
The first item you will need is the mounting base plate which all attachments that require a base plate to mount to need, (except the speed bagger which attaches directly to your loader's lift arms, and the Heavy Duty Double pole Claw which has its own integrated base plate). We have the option of either the fixed base, heavy duty rotating base which has 2 hydraulic cylinders to turn the attachments, or the chain and sprocket powered rotating base which uses and electric motor and is specifically for use with the barrel handler attachment only, as it doesnot have the precise rotational control of the base using hydraulic cylinders; it does have a larger degree of rotation however - 205 degrees.
The fixed, non-rotating base plate is much less expensive than the rotating base plates, but limits what attachments you can probably use. The Fixed base plate works well with the rock pick attachment, with the tree hand, the hitch tool, and the rock and pole claw. All base plates are designed to mount to the arms of skid steer loaders that are quick attach compatable.
The double cylinder rotating base plate gives the torque required when using the various attachments to rotate the load. The fixed base plate can be used on any of the attachments; while this doesn't allow you to rotate the load, it does give you a solid base for lifting and using the hitch tool and root rock pick for example.
