Loflin Fabrication Skid Steer Grapple

The Loflin Fabrication grapple collection includes several configurations designed for different material-handling and land-management applications. Options include Root Grapples, Stump Bucket Grapples, Log Grapples, Monster Grapple Buckets, Standard Duty Grapple Buckets, XHD Grapple Buckets, XHD Rock Bucket Grapples, Fork Grapples, Vertical Root Grapples, and Monster Root Grapples. Depending on the model, buyers can choose from different widths, duty levels, hydraulic-flow requirements, jaw configurations, and manual or hydraulic rotation options.

Loflin Fabrication grapples are offered in a broad range of widths to accommodate different skid steer configurations and applications. Standard Duty Root and Grapple Buckets are available from 60" to 84", while XHD Root and Grapple Buckets range from 66" to 84". The Monster Grapple Bucket and Monster Root Grapple extend from 72" to 96". The XHD Rock Bucket Grapple is available in 66", 72", 78", and 84" widths, while the Vertical Root Grapple is offered from 72" to 84".

Hydraulic-flow requirements vary substantially by grapple type and configuration. The Standard Duty Root Grapple and Standard Duty Grapple Bucket are listed at 10–20 GPM, while the Medium Duty Root Grapple requires 10–15 GPM. XHD Root and Grapple Buckets are listed at 15–25 GPM, the Vertical Root Grapple at 15–23 GPM, and the XHD Rock Bucket Grapple at 10–25 GPM. The Monster Grapple Bucket has a higher listed range of 44–86 GPM, while the Monster Root Grapple is listed at 10–20 GPM. Always match the exact grapple configuration to the skid steer's available auxiliary hydraulic flow.

The Loflin Fabrication collection offers different grapple configurations based on the intended equipment and application requirements. Medium Duty Root Grapples are available in 60"–72" widths with 10–15 GPM requirements, while Standard Duty Root and Grapple Buckets extend up to 84" and have 10–20 GPM specifications. XHD Grapple and Root Grapple models are available in 66"–84" widths with 15–25 GPM requirements. The Monster Grapple Bucket is offered from 72"–96" and has a 44–86 GPM specification. Comparing duty configuration, dimensions, hydraulic requirements, and intended material handling is important when selecting between these options.

Different grapple configurations are suited to different types of work. The Log Grapple features a heavy-duty claw system and is available with manual or hydraulic rotation. The Stump Bucket Grapple has a 42 7/8" jaw opening and greasable 1¼" pins. For root and ground-material handling, the collection includes Standard, Medium Duty, XHD, Vertical, and Monster Root Grapples. The XHD Rock Bucket Grapple is specifically identified by its rock-bucket configuration, while standard and XHD Grapple Buckets provide broader material-handling options. The Fork Grapple, available in 42" and 48" models with dual 2" × 10" cylinders, provides another configuration for skid steer material handling.

Begin by identifying the material you need to handle, then compare the grapple's configuration, width, hydraulic requirement, and available features. For roots and land-clearing work, compare the Standard, Medium Duty, XHD, Vertical, and Monster Root Grapples. For logs, consider the manually or hydraulically rotating Log Grapple. For rock and debris handling, the XHD Rock Bucket Grapple may be the relevant configuration. For general bucket-style material handling, compare the Standard Duty, XHD, and Monster Grapple Buckets. Finally, verify your skid steer's auxiliary hydraulic flow, attachment compatibility, and preferred grapple width against the exact model before purchasing.
