Built with high-quality steel and premium components, all Blue Diamond grapples are engineered for maximum strength and long service life. Heavy Duty, HDX, and Severe Duty models feature protected hose routing to prevent pinching and damage in demanding conditions, helping reduce downtime and extend attachment life. Looking more closely at each of its family of grapples, Blue Diamond offers:

Grapple Buckets

Grapple buckets are ideal for moving large volumes of irregular material. Whether handling demolition debris, recycling scrap, or clearing job sites, a grapple bucket delivers efficient, complete material removal. Blue Diamond® Grapple Buckets are designed for tough conditions, featuring greaseable pivot points and durable couplers. They are available for both full-size and mini skid steers.

Severe Duty Grapple Bucket

Designed for daily use in harsh environments, the Severe Duty Grapple Bucket is one of the most durable options in the industry. It features protected hose routing, heavily reinforced top clamps, and 3/4-inch steel on the top tines, ensuring long-lasting performance under extreme workloads.

HDX Grapple Bucket

Positioned between the Heavy Duty and Severe Duty models, the HDX Grapple Bucket bridges the gap with enhanced strength and durability. Built from 1/2-inch steel, it is ideal for skid steers up to 75 HP. The 72-inch model includes dual top clamps with a maximum opening of 32 inches, making it well suited for moderate to heavy workloads.

Heavy Duty Grapple Bucket

The Heavy Duty Grapple Bucket is designed for moderate workloads and skid steers up to 65 HP. Constructed from 1/2-inch steel, it handles loads up to 2,500 pounds while remaining lightweight enough for smaller machines.

Mini Grapple Buckets and Rakes

The Mini Grapple Bucket is a tough yet lightweight attachment designed for interior demolition and confined spaces. Available in narrow widths to fit through most doorways, it features industrial-grade pivot pins and cylinders to handle demanding conditions. A bolt-on, replaceable cutting edge extends service life even further.

The Mini Grapple Rake offers multipurpose capability for brush handling and site cleanup. Serrated teeth on both the clamps and bottom tines allow operators to rip through roots below the ground surface with ease.

Root Grapples

Root grapples are powerful, multipurpose attachments for lifting, pushing, and pulling material. Their long, flat bottom tines and extended upper clamps provide excellent load stability. With skeleton-style frames, these grapples also allow operators to rake and sift debris from soil. Blue Diamond offers root grapples for full-size skid steers, mini skid steers, and tractors.

The Extreme Duty High Capacity Root Grapple is built for demanding, everyday applications. Featuring massive top clamps, a heavily reinforced mount, serrated tine tips, and protected cylinders and hoses, it efficiently handles large loads while minimizing downtime.

The Severe Duty Root Grapple is ideal for ripping roots, moving timber, and handling irregular loads. Reinforced dual independent clamps and extra-strong 1/2-inch one-piece tines provide exceptional strength and durability.

The HDX Root Grapple bridges the gap between Heavy Duty and Severe Duty models. Constructed from 1/2-inch steel, it includes dual top clamps, fully welded cylinders, and upgraded cylinder protection for improved reliability.

For moderate workloads or non-commercial use, the Heavy Duty Root Grapple offers durability without excess weight. Built from 1/2-inch steel, it is suitable for smaller skid steers and tractors and features enclosed cylinders and hoses to reduce downtime.

Light Duty and Mini Root Grapples

The Light Duty Root Grapple is designed for smaller machines with limited lift capacity. Made from 3/8-inch steel and weighing only 454 pounds, it maximizes hauling capability while maintaining stability. One-piece tines, protected cylinders, and greaseable fittings ensure durability.

Despite its compact size, the Mini Root Grapple is built for demanding applications. It features a welded, protected cylinder with a 2-inch bore, 1-inch pivot pins with bushings, and protected hoses.

Rock Buckets with Grapple

A rock bucket with a grapple is one of the most versatile attachments available. In addition to rock removal, it can be used for grading, land leveling, brush clearing, and site cleanup. All Blue Diamond rock buckets feature laser-cut cutting-edge gussets and reinforced tine tips for maximum durability.

The Severe Duty Rock Bucket is the toughest option for full-size skid steers. With 1/2-inch one-piece tines throughout, open sides for improved sifting, reinforced clamps to prevent twisting, and a cutting edge designed for leveling, it delivers exceptional performance during continuous use.

The HDX Rock Bucket Grapple is engineered for skid steers and compact loaders up to 75 HP. Built from 1/2-inch steel, it includes dual top clamps with a 32-inch opening, reinforced gussets, and 3-inch tine spacing, making it effective as both a land plane and light clearing attachment.

The Heavy Duty Rock Bucket Grapple is available for full-size skid steers and tractors and is ideal for moderate to heavy workloads. Dual independent grapples secure loads, while the extended back around the mount helps prevent material from sliding out.

Standard and Mini Rock Buckets

For non-commercial users, the Standard Duty Rock Bucket Grapple offers a durable, multipurpose solution for light clearing and land leveling. Standard grapples are constructed from 3/8-inch steel for a lightweight option suitable for smaller machines.

The Mini Rock Bucket was originally designed as a sifting bucket for mini skid steers but also excels at grading and light clearing. It allows operators to move rocks and firewood while leaving dirt behind.
