Sidneys patented Gorilla Grapple is the strongest, most versatile skid steer grapple on the market today. Quality in design and materials makes our Gorilla Grapple truly tougher than the rest. Built from 1 ft high tensile steel, the tines are so strong they can lift and break 4 ft to 6 ft thick reinforced concrete. Breaking, raking and carrying loads of Cement, steel, bitumen and trees. The points of the tines are hardened to 400 Bhn to increase their strength. The tines of the Gorilla Grapple open to 31.5 inches, making it easy to handle a wide variety of material. To eliminate flexing, the tines pivot on a 2.5 inch solid steel shaft. The 3000 lb. output of your skid steer translates to over 37,000 lbs. of mechanical pressure at the end of the jaws. What you can pick up is only restricted by the counter balance provided by the GVW of your skid steer. When closed, the tips of the upper tines hang below the lower tines. This allows the Gorilla Grapple to be used to scarify and rip tough ground and roads. The Gorilla Grapple is built for a lifetime of low maintenance operation. All major pivot points are machined and greaseable. Standard units come with the universal skid steer quick attach coupler, so will fit almost all makes of Skid steer.
