Erskine Skid Steer Grapple

The Erskine lineup includes several attachment configurations for different material-handling and land-clearing applications. The supplied range includes the Grapple Stump Bucket, Industrial Root Grapple, Mat Grapple Forks, Pipe Grapple Forks, HD Grapple Bucket Series, Multi-Purpose Grapple Series, High Capacity Grapple Bucket Series, Industrial Log, Brush & Rock Grapple, and Industrial Grapple Rake. These models cover different attachment widths, jaw openings, frame dimensions, and hydraulic flow requirements, making it important to select the configuration that matches both the skid steer and the intended application.

Erskine offers a broad range of sizes. The Grapple Stump Bucket is 45.4" wide, while the Industrial Root Grapple ranges from 72" to 84". The HD Grapple Bucket Series is available in 66", 72", and 84" widths, and the High Capacity Grapple Bucket Series comes in 72", 84", and 96" widths. The Industrial Grapple Rake is offered in 60", 72", and 84" widths. The Mat and Pipe Grapple Forks use a 58" frame width, while the Multi-Purpose Grapple Series has maximum jaw openings of 48" and 60".

Hydraulic requirements vary significantly by model. The Grapple Stump Bucket and Industrial Root Grapple are listed at 10–20 GPM. The Mat Grapple Forks and Pipe Grapple Forks require 12–16 GPM, while the HD Grapple Bucket Series is rated at 15–20 GPM. The Multi-Purpose Grapple Series requires 10–25 GPM, the High Capacity Grapple Bucket Series requires 10–18 GPM, and the Industrial Grapple Rake requires 15–25 GPM. Buyers should always compare the specific attachment's flow range with their machine's auxiliary hydraulic specifications.

The different configurations are designed around different attachment formats and handling requirements. Grapple Buckets include the HD and High Capacity series, while the Grapple Forks include dedicated Mat and Pipe configurations. The Industrial Grapple Rake is offered in 60", 72", and 84" widths, while the Industrial Log, Brush & Rock Grapple is available in Model 72 and Model 84 configurations with a listed maximum opening of 48". Selecting between these configurations should be based on the type of material being handled and the attachment dimensions required for the job.

Start with the application, then verify the machine and attachment specifications. For material handling, compare the available bucket or grapple width and jaw opening with the material you need to handle. For example, the Multi-Purpose Grapple Series offers 48" and 60" maximum jaw openings, while the Industrial Log, Brush & Rock Grapple has a 48" maximum opening. Next, check the required hydraulic flow, which across the supplied models ranges from 10–25 GPM, depending on the attachment. Also verify the machine compatibility listed for the specific model before ordering.

Match three key specifications: attachment dimensions, hydraulic flow, and intended application. If you need a stump-focused configuration, the Grapple Stump Bucket is listed at 45.4" wide and 10–20 GPM. For root handling, the Industrial Root Grapple is available in 72"–84" widths and 10–20 GPM. For larger bucket coverage, the HD series offers 66", 72", and 84" widths, while the High Capacity series provides 72", 84", and 96" widths. For specialized handling, the Mat and Pipe Grapple Forks use a 58" frame and 12–16 GPM, and the Industrial Grapple Rake is available in 60", 72", and 84" widths at 15–25 GPM. Always verify the exact model, hydraulic flow, and machine compatibility before purchase.
