Machinery attachments / Grapple Bucket
Overview
A grapple bucket combines a loader bucket with a hydraulic top clamp, so loose material can be grabbed, carried and released without spilling. It is the standard tool for site clearance and recycling work.
The GBPS36-A is specified at 900 mm width (35 in), 201 kg. It mounts on Bobcat (small); if your machine uses a different pattern we build to your pin dimensions instead.

Mounting and compatibility
Built on the Bobcat small-frame pattern as standard, with other plates available to order. Tell us the loader model and whether the machine has a standard or high-flow auxiliary circuit.
Packing and delivery
Units are packed on an export frame or in a plywood crate, strapped and corner protected. We photograph the packed unit before dispatch and send the loading plan with the shipping documents. Tell us the destination port and we confirm the freight basis – FOB, CFR or CIF – in the quotation.
Frequently asked questions
Will the clamp hold round timber?
The clamp closes onto the load rather than gripping a single point, so logs and brush are held against the bucket edge. For long timber, load it across the bucket rather than lengthways.
Can I use it on a compact track loader?
Yes, provided the mount plate matches. Track loaders often run higher auxiliary flow – confirm your machine’s flow before ordering so the clamp speed is right.
Is a grapple bucket the same as a skeleton bucket?
No. A grapple bucket has a solid floor and a clamp; a skeleton bucket has open tines to let fines fall through. Choose the skeleton version for sorting soil from stone.
