DESCRIPTION
The Virnig V60 Skeleton Rock Grapple is built for the toughest jobs where durability, strength, and precision matter most. Designed for heavy-duty skid steer loaders with hydraulic flow rates between 15 and 25 GPM, this grapple dominates demanding rock, demolition, and land-clearing applications.
Each tine is crafted from a single piece of Grade 80 steel (80,000 PSI minimum yield strength), ensuring unmatched rigidity and long-lasting performance. The rock dam and notched tine tips securely cradle rocks and debris, while NitroSteel® cylinder rods and Teflon®-coated bushings deliver smooth, maintenance-friendly operation even in the harshest environments.
With a wide grapple jaw opening of 36.1 inches, operators can effortlessly handle large rocks, logs, and construction debris. Whether you’re reclaiming land, cleaning up job sites, or sorting material, the Virnig V60 Skeleton Rock Grapple brings maximum grip, reliability, and control to your skid steer.
Ideal for professionals in construction, landscaping, agriculture, and site preparation, this is the grapple attachment that outworks and outlasts the competition.
