DESCRIPTION
Take control of your cleanup and material handling with the Virnig V40 Utility Fork Grapple a purpose-built, single-jaw skid steer grapple designed for unmatched versatility and durability. Ideal for farmers, landscapers, and contractors, this grapple makes easy work of manure, brush, hay bales, and debris, delivering exceptional strength and precision handling in a cost-efficient package.
The open-tine design with no cross member allows deeper penetration into dense or uneven piles, maximizing material pickup with every pass. Built with high-strength 1.75" replaceable tines and a NitroSteel® cylinder rod, the V40 ensures long-lasting performance, even in demanding environments. Greasable pins and Teflon®-coated bushings reduce wear and keep your grapple operating smoothly season after season.
Designed for skid steers with less than 2,400 lbs rated operating capacity (ROC) and a standard hydraulic flow between 10–20 GPM, the V40 Utility Fork Grapple delivers efficient, low-maintenance performance all while providing the durability you expect from Virnig Attachments.
