What's the difference between a root grapple and a grapple bucket?

A root grapple has an open tine frame that lets dirt and small debris fall through while gripping roots, brush, and rock. A grapple bucket has a solid floor that scoops and holds loose material like fill or demolition debris. Choose based on whether you're clearing or hauling.

Do grapples require auxiliary hydraulics?

Yes, most grapples use a hydraulic cylinder to open and close the clamping arms or lid, so your carrier needs an auxiliary hydraulic circuit. Confirm your machine's flow and pressure ratings against each product's spec table before ordering, or call +1 (307) 441-5529 for compatibility help.

What carriers do these grapples fit?

Vovlift stocks grapples for mini skid steers, full-size skid steers, compact tractors, and excavators. Each listing specifies its intended carrier and attachment standard. The Star Industries Universal Grapple Adapter helps mount grapples across compatible loaders — check the product page or call for exact fitment.

How are grapples shipped?

All grapples ship by insured LTL freight, protecting your attachment in transit. Delivery timing depends on the product and destination. Each order includes the manufacturer warranty listed on the product page. Contact +1 (307) 441-5529 with questions about lead times or freight to your location.

How to Choose a Grapple

What is a grapple attachment?

A grapple is a hydraulic attachment with movable arms or a clamping lid that grips loose material — brush, logs, rocks, roots, and debris — so you can lift, sort, and haul it. Vovlift stocks root grapples, rock buckets, stump buckets, and excavator grapples for a range of carriers.

Which grapple type fits my job?

Root and rock grapples handle land clearing, brush, and stone; grapple buckets scoop and secure loose fill and demolition debris; stump buckets pry and lift stumps and roots. Match the tool to your primary task — clearing, digging, or hauling — then confirm carrier compatibility.

What duty rating do I need?

Standard-duty grapples suit light brush and periodic cleanup, while xtra heavy-duty models are built for continuous land clearing, rock, and demolition work. Heavier duty ratings add tine thickness and frame strength for abrasive, high-volume loads. Check each product's spec table for exact dimensions and construction.

Will it fit my machine?

Grapples here are built for specific carriers — mini skid steers, full-size skid steers, compact tractors, and excavators. Confirm your quick-attach standard and hydraulic flow before ordering. The Star Industries Universal Grapple Adapter helps mount grapples across compatible loaders. Call +1 (307) 441-5529 for fitment help.
