Transform your standard skid-steer bucket into a versatile, heavy-duty grapple with the Star Industries Universal Grapple Adapter (UGA). This quick-tach attachment adds grappling functionality for handling logs, debris, rocks, and more, making your skid-steer even more efficient. Designed for easy installation and maximum durability, the UGA features heavy-duty construction, independent cylinders, and built-in protective covers, ensuring smooth and reliable operation in tough conditions.

Product Overview

The Star Industries Universal Grapple Adapter (175-UGA) is an adaptable skid-steer attachment that can be used to make a standard skid-steer bucket into a grapple capable of handling different materials and items. This adapter attaches directly to the rear of many skid-steer buckets using a quick-tach system so that an operator can clasp and hold onto their load which may include brush, logs, scrap metal, etc. The Universal Grapple Adapter was made with heavy-duty steel components and hydraulic cylinders to provide the grapple with enough grip strength to hold on to the operator's load and also withstand the rigors of a demanding work environment. The Universal Grapple Adapter has the ability to increase equipment versatility by allowing an operator to take a standard skid-steer bucket and turn it into a grapple for moving materials.

Features:

  • The universal quick-attach makes it easy to attach this adapter to most skid-steer buckets.
  • The independent hydraulic cylinders allow the grapple arms to move when the grapple is clamping onto uneven or irregular materials.
  • The heavy-duty steel construction gives the adapter the strength to last for years and perform reliably in tough working conditions.
  • Protective covers are incorporated into the design to protect the hydraulic cylinders and fittings from damage.
  • Flat-face coupler hydraulic hoses are included for easy installation of the adapter to your machine
