Product Description:
✔ Built for the Toughest Jobs
The Star Industries Demolition Grade Root Grapple Bucket is made to handle storm cleanup, landscaping, demolition, and debris removal. Designed for power and control, it’s the go-to attachment for professionals who need reliable performance on demanding job sites.
✔ Safe and Reliable Material Handling
Upward-curving tines keep you safe by reducing the risk of snagging on utility lines during storm cleanup. The wide opening lets you grab bulky loads like brush, logs, and demolition debris with confidence.
✔ Heavy-Duty Construction for Demanding Work
Built with ½-inch plate sides and 9/16-inch thick grapple tines, reinforced components give this bucket unmatched durability. Perfect for track-style skid steers rated 70 HP or 3,500 lbs and up, so it’s ready for serious work without compromise.

Independent hydraulic cylinders adjust to uneven loads, giving operators precision control when grabbing irregular debris. Whether clearing storm damage or handling demolition materials, you’ll work faster and smarter.
✔ Fast and Efficient Cleanup
The open-bottom design with separated tines lets dirt and small debris sift through while keeping rocks, logs, and larger materials secure. This reduces cleanup time and improves workflow efficiency.
✔ Protected Components for Longer Life
Hydraulic lines are enclosed and fittings are shielded from damage. Grease zerks are placed inside tubes for easy access and longer-lasting performance. Designed to withstand years of heavy use with minimal downtime.
