Grapple Buckets
Skid steer grapple buckets combine the digging capacity of a standard bucket with the secure grip of a hydraulic grapple — an upper jaw clamps material against the lower bucket, locking logs, demoli…

n debris, stumps, brush piles, and irregular material in place during transit. This clamshell design is indispensable on demolition sites, logging yards, storm cleanup operations, and land clearing where a single-jaw bucket loses half its load in motion.
Grapple bucket performance is defined by jaw opening width, clamping force, and tine configuration. Root grapple buckets use open tines spaced to capture and hold logs and stumps while allowing soil and debris to shake out. Solid-floor grapple buckets are spec’d for demolition — they capture concrete rubble, asphalt chunks, and construction debris without loss. Clamping force ranges from 4,000–12,000 lbs depending on hydraulic cylinder bore and operating pressure.
Root Grapple vs. Grapple Bucket: What’s the Difference?
A root grapple (skeleton design) uses spaced tines on both jaws to grip brush, stumps, and logs while shedding dirt and debris through the gaps. A grapple bucket has a solid or near-solid lower jaw and a grapple-style upper arm — it digs and scoops like a bucket, then clamps the load. Root grapples excel in land clearing; grapple buckets excel in demolition and mixed-material sites where containment matters.
Frequently Asked Questions
What hydraulic flow does a grapple bucket require?
The grapple cylinder is a low-flow function — most operate at 8–15 GPM on the auxiliary hydraulic circuit, the same circuit as a standard quick coupler trigger. Any skid steer with a single auxiliary circuit can operate a grapple bucket.
Can I use a grapple bucket to dig?
Yes — the lower jaw functions as a standard bucket for digging and scooping. The grapple arm stows against the bucket when digging and activates for gripping and carrying. This dual function makes it one of the most versatile single attachments for demolition, land clearing, and general contractor use.
What’s the maximum material size a grapple bucket handles?
Jaw opening on standard grapple buckets is 36″–48″, accommodating logs and debris up to approximately 36″ in diameter. For oversized material (tree trunks, large boulders), a dedicated root grapple with wider jaw spread is more appropriate.
