Bobcat Industrial Grapple for Skid Steers
Overview
The Bobcat Industrial Grapple is Bobcat's heavy-duty OEM grapple for skid steers, designed for demanding demolition, land clearing, and material handling jobs. Dual cylinders deliver industry-leading clamping force. An open grapple design provides better operator visibility during operation. Reinforced tines and a replaceable cutting edge extend service life on tough jobs. For Canadian contractors running Bobcat machines on commercial demolition or clearing work, the OEM fit means no hydraulic adapters or mounting compromises.

Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You move mixed demolition debris, large rocks, and heavy loads that need a closed floor
- You sort materials on-site between loads
Skip if
- Your primary use is brush and slash cleanup — a root grapple's open tines handle that better
- The added weight pushes near your machine's ROC limit for lighter machines
Also consider
- Root grapple for lighter brush and debris work
- 4-in-1 bucket if you need both clamshell and flat-floor functionality
Designed for Bobcat machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.
About Bobcat in Canada
Bobcat is one of the most recognized skid steer brands in Canada, with a dealer presence in every province. Their OEM attachments are engineered specifically for Bobcat machines but use universal SSQA mounts for cross-brand compatibility.
Care & Maintenance
- Grease all pivot points every 8 hours of operation — this single habit extends service life more than any other maintenance step
- Inspect tines for bending or cracking after use in rock or demolition debris — bent tines cause uneven closing force and can fail under load
- Check hydraulic hose connections and fittings weekly — grapple hoses take more abuse than most attachments due to constant jaw cycling near rough material
- Inspect cylinder pins and bushings monthly; sloppiness in the jaws indicates worn bushings, not just general age — replace before the pin starts wearing the bore
- Store with jaws closed to reduce stress on the frame and keep the hinge pivot pins from accumulating debris
How to Connect
- Mount using same Bob-Tach process as buckets
- Connect hydraulic couplers (depressurized — release aux hydraulics first)
- Verify open/close direction at idle before working
- Test grapple open/close 3× before lifting any load
