TMG-SSG72 72-Inch Skeleton Grapple Bucket for Skid Steers
Overview
The TMG-SSG72 is a 72-inch skeleton grapple bucket from Canadian manufacturer TMG Industrial. The 72-inch width is the most common skeleton grapple size for mid-frame skid steers on Canadian demolition and land clearing sites. Material falls through the open skeleton tine design while clamping securely on wood, concrete, and scrap metal. Dual hydraulic cylinders provide strong clamping force. Direct-from-Canada shipping via TMG Industrial's warehouses.

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
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid to large-frame machines (S450–S750 class) are the best fit for this width.

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
