Paladin Rock Bucket & Grapple Attachment
The Versatile Combination Attachment Built for Tough Terrain
When your job demands more than just digging or loading, the Paladin Rock Bucket & Grapple offers a robust, all-in-one solution. It combines the strength of a rock bucket with the gripping power of a grapple, giving operators the ability to scoop, hold, lift, and dump heavy, irregular material — all in one attachment.
Key Features & Design Highlights
Heavy-Duty Bucket Base
Reinforced side plates, robust ribbing, and thick steel mortar plating allow the bucket to dig in rocky, abrasive environments without failure.Integrated Grapple Arms
The grapple (clam or tong style) is built above the bucket and closes securely over material, clamping it in place for transport and placement.Wide Opening & Clamping Capacity
The grapple arms open wide to accommodate large or wide material, then clamp tightly for secure holding during loading or movement.Replaceable Wear Components
Cutting edges, tines, gussets, and bolt-on wear plates are serviceable and replaceable, extending the life of the attachment.Robust Frame & Linkage
Structural gussets, heavy welds, and stress-relief design reduce fatigue and bending even under heavy loads.Hydraulic Operation
Operates with one or two hydraulic circuits (depending on design) for grapple control — built with durable cylinders, hoses, and protection.Optimal Tine / Slot Spacing
Designed to allow fines (sand, small soil) to fall through, while retaining larger rocks and debris.Universal Mount Compatibility
Available in quick-attach styles or pin-on mounting options to suit skid steers, excavators, and other compatible machines.Balanced Geometry
The bucket and grapple are designed to maintain good center of gravity and minimize spillage or unbalanced loads.
Performance Benefits & Use Cases
One Tool, Many Capabilities
Swap between dumping, grabbing, and loading without switching attachments — reducing downtime and increasing productivity.Controlled Material Handling
Grapple arms secure loads while the bucket supports the base, giving precise control over logs, rock, scrap, and debris.Durability in Harsh Conditions
Reinforced construction and replaceable wear parts help it withstand rugged environments, abrasive rock, and high-impact use.Efficient Sorting & Loading
Ideal for site cleanup, demolition, forestry, recycling, and excavation tasks — especially where material varies in shape and size.Safer Operation
Grapple holding reduces load shifting or dropping during movement, providing improved safety on the job.
