DESCRIPTION
The Express Steel ES20160 Vertical Extreme Grapple is a heavy-duty, American-made attachment designed to dominate the toughest land clearing and debris handling tasks. With 1½" serrated bottom tines, ¾" top tines, and a 54" opening width, this grapple functions like a rake—allowing dirt to sift through while gripping brush, logs, roots, and rubble with precision.
Equipped with dual 10" hydraulic cylinders, independent grapple arms, and Parker hoses with ½" flat-faced couplers, it connects seamlessly to most skid steer hydraulic systems. The 11¼" tine spacing ensures efficient sorting, while the powder-coated black finish protects against corrosion and wear.
