The Star Industries Skid Steer Grapple Bucket is the bucket half and the grapple half in one attachment. The bottom is 1/4 in plate with 1/2 in wear ribs, so it carries loose material the way a bucket does, and the two arms close over the top to hold what a bucket alone would spill.

The arms open extra wide for a full load, 38-1/2 in on Heavy Duty and 45 in on Demolition Grade, and their cylinders operate independently so the arms find an uneven load rather than stopping on the first high point. End plates at each side keep loose material from running out as the bucket fills. The hydraulic lines and the grapple cylinders are fully covered against accidental damage, and the lines are zip tied to a heavy spring so they do not get pinched.

The cutting edges are punched for an optional bolt-on blade. Two grades are offered, Heavy Duty at 3/4 in x 6 in edge and 34 in depth, and Demolition Grade at 1 in x 8 in edge and 39 in depth.

Common Applications

  • Moving bulky, hard-to-handle material securely
  • Scooping, lifting and dumping irregular loads
  • Demolition and construction debris handling
  • Brush, log and rock handling on clearing work

Selection Notes

  • Five orderable models across two grades
  • Star's own note: Demolition Grade is especially recommended for track style skid steers and those with 70 hp or 3,500 lb capacity or greater
  • The cutting edges are punched for a bolt-on blade, which is an option rather than a separate model
  • Hydraulic hoses and flat faced couplers are included on every model
  • Confirm your carrier's rated operating capacity before ordering
