GrabTec - Model GF -Farm Grapples
Built for today`s multi-use ag machines including Telehandlers, Bi-Directional Tractors, Compact Wheel Loaders, and Farm Loaders. We make a grapple to fit your existing bucket or pair it with one of our high strength, high capacity buckets. GrabTec products maximize the capabilities of your existing machine allowing you to handle more material with each load, reducing the total number of loads, making you more efficient. Do more in less time. Use it when you need it, remove it when you don’t. Take it off, put it on, choose the right tool for the job.
Maximize Your Bucket
Volume of Material
The wide space between the grapple and the bucket allows high-capacity handling of loose material. This combined with the wide opening of the grapple means it is much more effective at handling material than rake or scrap grapples, which tend to squeeze objects rather than pull them into the bucket.
Teeth
A closing gap that overlaps the cutting edge is typical with most buckets.
Removable Grapple
Quick Attach Style Grapple
Remove the Grapple by pulling a single pin from each side
Self Storing Stand Legs
Built right into the grapple itself, the simple stand legs make for easy storage
Maintenance Free Greaseless Pin Technology
Chrome Pins : Composite bushings along with massive chrome pins provides an almost frictionless motion allowing for smoother and longer use of attachment
Rubber Seals : Rubber Seals on each side of the bushing keep debris and moisture out for longer life of the attachment
3 Year, 5000 hour Warranty : Large Pin diameter, chrome pin, and rubber seals keep your grapple working longer and harder
Better Cylinders
By building our own cylinders we are able to produce some of the best in the market.
Threaded Glands
Built to withstand today`s heavy use, Buttress Style threaded Glands provide 2x the shear strength as standard threads insuring longer life of the cylinder.
Cross Eye Design
Both ends of the cylinder use a Cross Eye design to increase the contact surface area between cylinder and pin. This helps distribute the load over a greater area and help reduce wear on the pins.
Cushioned Cylinders
Prevents the shock that comes from opening and closing the grapple allowing longer life for your investment.
