Blue Diamond Attachments debuts HDX Series grapples

Blue Diamond Attachments has launched its HDX Series Grapples, a new addition to the lineup between their current HD and Severe Duty Grapples.

The new units are specifically designed for mid-sized skid steer loaders, CTLs and tractors up to 75-horsepower. The HDX Series includes both root grapples and grapple buckets, engineered for land clearing, landscaping, debris removal and storm cleanup projects. 

The Blue Diamond HDX Series Grapples have wide openings, which allow the operator to grab bulkier items in one load. Uneven or awkward material are stable and secured by the independent acting top clamps that have commercial-grade hydraulic cylinders for maximum clamping force. The updated and heavier construction of the new series also means they can handle rugged use on mid-sized machines.

The HDX Series Root Grapples and Grapple Buckets features also include stronger cylinder protection covers, a fully welded cylinder for increased clamping force, thicker ¼ inch tubing in the frame weldment, pivot point grease fittings, enhanced hose protection and dual top clamps for load stability.

"We added the HDX Series Grapples to our full lineup to fill a gap in the market for a site cleanup attachment that meets the needs of contractors and landowners looking to work in that 75-horsepower range,” says Drew Truan, CEO at Blue Diamond Attachments. "We listened to those customers and developed this new series, so they had what they need, when they need it. We believe the HDX Series will become the go-to grapples throughout North America.” 

The new HDX Series open to 32-inches, are 37-inches deep from front to back, and have 72-inches working width.
