GS-Series Scrap Grapples are ideal for a variety of applications

Overview

• GS-Series Scrap Grapples are designed for scrap handling, recycling center, disaster cleanup, and jobsite cleanup applications that require grappling power to handle material.

Benefits

• Each unit includes two independent-action grapples that allow different-sized objects to be picked up in each grapple Greaseable and hardened 35-mm (1.375-in.) pins with increased cylinder specifications result in improved durability
• An improved hose routing over the previous series grapples eliminates the need for grapple cylinder stops on large frame G-Series Skid Steers
• Open sides on the scrap grapple models allow easy grappling of material that is wider than the bucket.
  • For scrap applications where containing the material is required, bolt-on side plates are available
• Increased side cutter, side sheet, and back sheet plate thicknesses, combined with larger torque tubes result in heavy-duty bucket construction for the most demanding applications
• Scrap grapples feature convenient pre-drilled holes on the cutting edges for optional bolt-on, replaceable edge

Design improvements

Overview

• Accomplish more with increased capacity and improved design.

Benefits

Increased cylinder size

• Cylinder size of 63.5-mm (2.5-in.) bore diameter and 36-mm (1.4-in.) rod diameter delivers high grapple forces to tackle even the most difficult materials
• Grapple arms feature integrated mechanical stop to reduce cylinder load when open

Improved grapple capacity

• A 620-mm (24.4-in.) wide grapple arm and grapple stance of 1540 mm (60.6 in.) on the 1676-mm or 1829-mm (66-in. or 72-in.) wide grapples or 1660 mm (65.3 in.) on 1981-mm or 2134-mm (78-in. or 84-in.) wide grapples that allow for easier grappling of wide, difficult material

Improved hose routing

• Durable 90-degree quick-couplers on the hydraulic cylinder hoses eliminate interference with the grapple
• Standard low-profile cylinder guards simplify hose connections
