Blue Diamond Attachments debuts HDX Rock Grapple Bucket

Blue Diamond Attachments has added a new attachment to its growing lineup of grapple and grapple buckets: the HDX Rock Grapple Bucket.

Engineered for skid steers and compact track loaders up to 75 HP or 3,000-pound lift capacity, the HDX Rock Grapple Bucket joins the Blue Diamond series that includes the HDX Root Grapple and Grapple Bucket — attachments designed to grab bulky items in a single load.

At 72 inches wide and 39 inches deep, the HDX Rock Grapple Bucket offers a maximum opening of 32 inches, and has dual top clamps constructed of 1/2-inch steel to effectively clear debris and to securely carry rocks, brush or logs. It can also be used as a land plane and for lighter clearing.

The Blue Diamond HDX Rock Grapple offers three-inch tine spacing with reinforced gussets to provide efficiency when sorting finer materials from larger ones. Plus, the rock grapple includes fully welded hydraulic cylinders improve clamping force and increase durability for greater uptime. It has greasable pivot points reduce wear and upgraded cylinder and hose protection minimize the opportunity for damage to hydraulics.

“For our customers who need a grapple attachment for their mid-duty machines, the HDX Rock Grapple Bucket is the perfect fit, positioned to bridge the gap between our heavy-duty and severe duty models,” says Drew Truan, chief operating officer at Blue Diamond Attachments. “Like all our attachments, this new model can be depended on for its ruggedness and reliability for tough jobs.”
