HLA SB96GR84 96-Inch Skid Steer Bucket and Grapple Combo
Overview
The HLA SB96GR84 is a 96-inch skid steer bucket and grapple combination from Ontario-based HLA Attachments. At 96 inches wide, it's sized for large-frame machines handling high-volume material on commercial lots, farm yards, and large construction pads. The 84-inch grapple opens to 70 inches for clamping loose material. This combo attachment eliminates the need to switch between a bucket and a grapple for most general site work.

Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You need more versatility than a bucket — grab, hold, and move irregular loads
- You clear brush, debris, or demolition material where a bucket loses control of the load
Skip if
- Dense, uniform material (gravel, sand, soil) is better handled by a GP bucket with more capacity per cycle
- The grapple weight would push you near your machine's ROC limit with this load type
Also consider
- GP bucket for high-volume dense material work
- Root grapple for brush-heavy clearing jobs
Wide attachment — verify your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) before ordering. Best suited to large-frame machines (S750+ class or equivalent CTL).

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
