What is the lifting capacity of your Heavy-duty Rock grapple?

The lifting capacity is determined by the skid steer itself. The grapple can lift whatever the operator’s skid steer is capable of handling.

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

A root grapple is designed for handling brush and roots, with wider spacing between tines for better gripping of tangled material. However, a rock grapple features closely spaced tines and a reinforced cutting edge for effective sifting, digging, and handling of heavy rock and debris.

How does a heavy-duty rock grapple enhance efficiency in landscaping?

Our grapple’s open bucket design allows dirt to fall through while sifting, reducing excess weight and improving precision when handling rocks, debris, and brush. Its Ultra HD independent top grapples ensure a secure grip on uneven loads, increasing productivity.

What is the necessary hydraulic flow for operating a Heavy-Duty Rock Grapple?

Most heavy-duty skid steer rock grapples operate efficiently with a hydraulic flow range of 15–25 GPM, but compatibility depends on the skid steer model.

What makes Skid Pro’s Heavy-Duty Skid Steer Rock Grapple unique?

Skid Pro’s heavy-duty rock grapple offers 85% more clamping force than competitors, a 1″ rock dam lip for enhanced sifting, and fully boxed HD cylinder guards for maximum durability.

Is the Heavy-duty Rock Grapple suitable for large skid steers?
