Product Description
Star Industries Grapple Bucket | Models 175-66 To 175DG-84 | 66" To 84" | 8–30+ GPM | For Skid Steer
DESCRIPTION
Take on demanding material-handling jobs with Star Industries Skid-Steer Grapple Buckets, rugged attachments engineered to help operators grab, secure, lift, and move bulky or irregular materials with greater control. Designed for skid steer loaders with 8–30+ GPM auxiliary hydraulic flow, these grapple buckets feature independent hydraulic cylinders that adjust to uneven loads and an extra-wide grapple opening for efficient handling of brush, logs, rocks, debris, scrap, and other difficult materials. Fully covered hydraulic lines and grapple cylinders help protect critical components from accidental damage, while built-in covers protect fittings and heavy-duty construction supports reliable performance in demanding applications. Models range from 66 to 84 inches wide with capacities from 16.5 to 28 cu. ft. Reinforced bucket bottoms, heavy side plates, wear ribs, robust grapple assemblies, and heavy-duty cutting edges provide durability for construction, landscaping, agriculture, forestry, demolition, and cleanup work. Xtreme Duty Quick Tach and included hydraulic hoses with flat-faced couplers make these attachments ready for compatible applications.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Skid Steer Attachment Built for demanding material-handling applications, Star Industries grapple buckets combine a rugged bucket with a hydraulic grapple to help skid steer operators efficiently grab, lift, transport, and dump bulky or irregular materials.
- 8–30+ GPM Hydraulic Flow Designed for skid steer loaders requiring auxiliary hydraulics with a stated 8–30+ GPM flow range, providing compatibility across a broad range of hydraulic-powered equipment applications.
- Independent Hydraulic Cylinders Independent operating cylinders allow the grapple arms to adjust to uneven loads, helping operators maintain a secure grip and improve control when handling irregularly shaped materials.
- Extra-Wide Grapple Opening Grapple openings measure up to 45 inches, providing generous clearance for larger loads such as brush, logs, branches, demolition debris, rocks, and other bulky materials.
- Protected Hydraulic Components Hydraulic lines and grapple cylinders are fully covered to help shield critical components from accidental damage during demanding loading, clearing, and material-handling operations.
- Secure Load Handling The hydraulic grapple closes over material to help keep difficult loads contained during movement, while bucket end plates help prevent loose materials from spilling out during transport.
- Xtreme Duty Quick Tach The Xtreme Duty Quick Tach attachment system provides a rugged connection for compatible skid steer loaders, supporting efficient attachment changes and productive operation on busy jobsites.
- Reinforced Bucket Bottom A 1/4-inch plate bucket bottom provides a strong foundation for demanding applications, helping the grapple bucket withstand repeated contact with material during loading and cleanup.
- Heavy-Duty Side Plates 1/2-inch side plates add substantial reinforcement to the bucket structure, helping it withstand demanding material handling across construction, agriculture, landscaping, forestry, and demolition applications.
- Bottom Wear Protection Integrated 1/2-inch wear ribs reinforce high-contact areas beneath the bucket, helping provide additional protection during repetitive scooping, loading, and material-handling operations.
- Heavy Grapple Construction A 1/2-inch grapple thickness provides a robust gripping structure designed to securely handle irregular materials while supporting dependable performance in demanding operating environments.
- Durable Cutting Edge Depending on the model, cutting edges measure 3/4 x 6 inches or 1 x 8 inches, providing a rugged leading edge for scooping, collecting, and moving materials efficiently.
- Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Cylinders Welded 2 x 10 x 1 1/4-inch hydraulic cylinders power the grapple arms, providing the hydraulic actuation necessary for opening, closing, and securing loads.
- Included Hydraulic Connections Hydraulic hoses and flat-faced couplers are included, helping simplify hydraulic connection to compatible auxiliary systems and reducing the need to source key attachment components separately.
- Multiple Grapple Capacities Choose from 16.5 to 28 cu. ft. capacities and 66- to 84-inch widths, making it easier to select a grapple bucket suited to your skid steer loader and material-handling requirements.
