The Star Industries Skid-Steer Root Grapple is built to handle bulky, hard-to-manage materials with confidence and control. Designed for demanding cleanup, land clearing, and demolition applications, this heavy-duty attachment makes quick work of brush, logs, rocks, and debris.
Featuring separated bottom tines, the root grapple allows dirt and smaller material to sift through while securely holding larger loads - improving efficiency and reducing unnecessary cleanup. The upward-curved grapple tines are engineered to minimize the risk of catching utility lines or cables, making it especially well-suited for storm cleanup and hazardous environments.
Independent hydraulic cylinders provide superior clamping force and flexibility, allowing the grapple to adjust to uneven and irregular loads with ease. Rugged construction, reinforced plate steel, and protected hydraulic components ensure long service life even in tough working conditions.
Available in Heavy Duty and Demolition Grade models ranging from 66” to 84” widths, the Star Industries Root Grapple can be matched to a wide variety of skid-steer sizes and job requirements. Demolition Grade models are recommended for track-style skid steers and machines with 70 HP or greater or 3,500 lb capacity and above.
Key Features:
- Heavy-duty construction for durability and long life
- Separated bottom tines allow dirt to sift out
- Upward-curved tines help prevent snagging cables or utilities
- Independent hydraulic cylinders for uneven loads
- Built-in covers protect hydraulic fittings and cylinders
- Optional intermediate bottom tines reduce tine spacing to approximately 4"
- Grease zerks protected with steel tubes
- Hydraulic hoses and flat-faced couplers included
The Star Industries Skid-Steer Root Grapple is a dependable, job-site-ready solution for operators who need strength, precision, and reliability when handling tough materials.
