Product Description

Connect Work Tools Rotating Grapple | Model CG40 | Width 52.1" | Jaw Width 62" | 42 To 50 Ton | For Excavators

DESCRIPTION

Maximize your excavator’s performance with the Connect Work Tools CG40 Rotating Grapple engineered for high-capacity material handling, precision control, and long-lasting durability. Built specifically for 42–50 ton excavators, this heavy-duty attachment delivers exceptional power and versatility across demanding job sites, including demolition, land clearing, recycling, and storm cleanup.

Equipped with advanced 360-degree hydraulic rotation, the CG40 allows operators to position, grab, and place materials with unmatched accuracy from any angle. Its optimized jaw geometry and wide 84-inch opening ensure a secure grip on bulky, irregular loads like logs, scrap metal, and debris boosting productivity while reducing cycle times.

Constructed from high-strength steel and featuring fully protected hydraulic cylinders, this grapple is designed to withstand harsh environments while minimizing maintenance needs. The reversible bolt-on cutting edges extend service life and allow for quick, cost-effective upkeep.

With a large 40.1 ft³ capacity and efficient 55 GPM hydraulic flow requirement, the CG40 delivers powerful, responsive operation. Whether you're handling heavy debris or sorting materials, this rotating grapple is a reliable solution for professionals seeking performance, control, and efficiency on every job.

Key Features

  • 360° Hydraulic Rotation Precision Control Gain total command over material placement with full 360-degree hydraulic rotation. This advanced feature allows operators to grab, rotate, and position materials seamlessly without repositioning the excavator. Ideal for tight or complex job sites, it significantly improves workflow efficiency while reducing machine movement, saving both time and fuel on demanding tasks.
  • Heavy-Duty Steel Construction Durability Engineered from high-strength, wear-resistant steel, the CG40 grapple is built to withstand extreme workloads in demolition, construction, and land clearing applications. Its rugged frame resists bending and structural fatigue, ensuring long-term reliability even in the harshest environments where durability is critical for maintaining consistent performance.
  • Fully Protected Hydraulic Cylinder Design The CG40 features strategically shielded hydraulic cylinders that prevent exposure to debris, impacts, and environmental damage. This protection minimizes the risk of costly repairs and downtime while extending the lifespan of critical hydraulic components, ensuring dependable operation even under continuous heavy-duty use.
  • Reversible Bolt-On Cutting Edge System Reduce maintenance costs and extend usability with reversible bolt-on cutting edges. When one side wears down, simply reverse the edge instead of replacing it entirely. This efficient design keeps your grapple performing at peak levels while minimizing downtime and ensuring consistent cutting and gripping performance.
  • Wide 84-Inch Jaw Opening Capacity Handle oversized and irregular materials with ease thanks to the expansive 84-inch jaw opening. This wide range enables efficient gripping of logs, concrete, scrap, and bulky debris, increasing load size per cycle and significantly improving jobsite productivity in material handling operations.
  • High-Capacity 40.1 ft³ Material Handling Move more material in less time with a large 40.1 cubic feet capacity. This high-volume capability reduces the number of cycles needed to complete tasks, improving operational efficiency and allowing contractors to complete jobs faster and more cost-effectively.
  • Optimized Grapple Jaw Geometry Grip Strength The precision-engineered jaw design ensures a firm and secure grip on various materials, from loose debris to heavy logs. This optimized geometry reduces slippage, enhances control, and improves safety when handling uneven or challenging loads.
  • Efficient 55 GPM Hydraulic Flow Performance Designed to operate at 55 GPM, the CG40 delivers smooth, responsive hydraulic performance. This ensures consistent rotation speed and gripping force, enabling operators to maintain productivity without sacrificing precision or control.
  • Versatile Multi-Application Jobsite Use From demolition and recycling to land clearing and storm cleanup, the CG40 adapts to a wide range of applications. Its versatility makes it an essential attachment for contractors looking to maximize equipment utilization across multiple job types.
  • Enhanced Operator Efficiency and Productivity Reduce unnecessary repositioning and improve cycle times with precise rotation and strong gripping power. This efficiency translates to faster job completion, reduced fuel consumption, and increased profitability on every project.
  • Low Maintenance Heavy-Duty Design Built with durability in mind, the CG40 requires minimal maintenance thanks to its robust construction and protected components. This reduces service intervals and downtime, helping operators stay focused on productivity rather than repairs.
  • Secure Mounting System Compatibility The grapple includes a reliable mounting system with bracket and pins for fast, secure installation. This ensures a stable connection to your excavator, improving safety and allowing quick attachment changes on busy job sites.
  • Precision Sorting and Material Control Perfect for recycling and sorting operations, the rotating grapple enables accurate material separation. Operators can easily pick and place specific items, improving sorting efficiency and reducing material waste.
  • Built for 42–50 Ton Excavators Specifically designed for large excavators, the CG40 delivers optimal balance, power, and compatibility. Its size and strength make it ideal for heavy-duty operations where performance and reliability are essential.

Customer photo review of Forax Gas Powered Mulcher | Model GP40 | 40" Cutting Width | 14-15 HP | For Tractors

Seems to be in order delivery wasn't able to use lift gate but tractor was able to take pallet off the truck bed. No damage to machine after visual check. won't know how it runs until rain stops. Staff at RippingitOutdoors was very quick to call and double check the type of backet needed for the unit to ensure the online order matched( to fit my skid steer quick attachment on my l2501 Kubota). Explained the teeth & belt could be ordered through them directly over the phone when/if needed as well as selling other types of custom made brackets for Utv's ect. All around Great customer service and would purchase from again.

Customer photo review of Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.

Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.

My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now. I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on. I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.

Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!

Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!

Forax Ultralight Mulcher | Model HP40 | Cutting Width 40" | Carrier 2-4-Ton | For Excavators

These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs. I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again. Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
