Grapples are one of the most multipurpose and widely used attachments. A skid steer grapple is useful for applications across construction, landscaping, agriculture, forestry, and more. There are many different types of grapples ideal for different jobs. Blue Diamond’s wide variety of grapple attachments make us the industry leading standard for high quality and durable grapples.
High quality steel and components make up all our grapples for maximum durability. Our heavy duty and severe duty models include protected hose routing that prevents hose pinching in tough conditions.
Grapple Buckets
Grapple buckets are ideal for moving large amounts of irregular material. Whether you’re moving demolition debris or recycling scrap, a grapple bucket can do it all. When operators need complete removal, they’ll reach for a grapple bucket. Blue Diamond® Grapple Buckets are durable through tough conditions with greaseable pivot points and couplers and available for full size and mini skid steers.
Severe Duty Grapple Bucket
When needing a grapple bucket that can withstand daily use in harsh conditions, the Severe Duty Grapple Bucket from Blue Diamond® is one of the most effective and durable grapple buckets in the industry. With protected hose routing, heavily reinforced top clamps, and 3/4” steel on the top tines, this grapple bucket will last.
Heavy Duty Grapple Bucket
The Blue Diamond® Heavy Duty Grapple Bucket handles a moderate workload and works best with skid steers up to 50 HP. Made with 1/2” steel, this grapple is tough enough to handle up to 2,500 lbs, yet lightweight making it ideal for smaller machines.

Grapple Rakes
Grapple rakes are great attachments for general land clearing. These attachments have shallow tines allowing the teeth to grasp large amounts of brush or logs. When you need to clear large amounts of land fast, grapple rakes are the ideal attachment. The extended teeth with serrated edges effortlessly rake and rip through roots and other material. Combine these features with high visibility for the operator, and you’ll never reach for a different attachment to clear land. Blue Diamond® offers grapple rakes for full size and mini skid steers.

Root Grapples
When moving, pushing, or lifting materials, a root grapple is a great multipurpose attachment. The flat and long bottom teeth and prolonged upper grapple provide great stability.
