$1,218.00 – $4,216.00
Completely transform the way you do landscaping with a rake and Iron Fist Grapple kit that can do it all- digging, hauling, stacking logs, moving rocks, ripping through roots, leveling, demolition, building, the list of versatility goes on. The Iron Fist Grapple & Frame for MSSQA Front Loaders includes both the 3000 Lb. Mini Skid Steer Quick Attach frame, and your choice of rake & grapple set-up to suit your needs.
The Iron Fist Grapple & Frame for Mini Skid Steer Quick Attach Loaders is a modular system with 7 different rake and grapple configurations available to best suit your purposes. The frame is manufactured with high-strength North American steel and a powder coating, so you can be sure your set up is rugged enough to take on even your toughest jobs, especially with the Iron Grapple’s 1020 lb. clamp force & Variable Grip Technology.
Frame
3000 Lb. Mini Skid Steer Quick Attach Frame fit Mini Track Loaders with the Common Industry Interface (CII) loader quick attach. Includes built-in 2-inch receiver. Fits: Bobcat (with CII) | Boxer | Cormidi | Ditch Witch | Kanga | Ramrod | Toro | Vermeer
Grapple
With it’s Variable Grip Technology, the Iron Fist Sectional Grapple employs a secondary hinge point for a tight fist-like function, made from 3/8-inch thick ultra-high-strength and wear-resistant steel
Use one or two Iron Fist Grapples to tackle your smallest twig job to the largest boulders. Mix & match grapple and rake sections to best accomplish your tasks.
Grapple sections include hydraulic hoses, ready to plug into our hydraulic diverter kits, and go right to work!
When using Artillian Iron Fist Grapples on tractors with greater than 32 HP or with “True 3rd Function” hydraulics, we recommend adding the Artillian Hydraulic Flow Control Valve to provide the operator with additional control over the opening and closing speed of the grapple.
Using more than one Grapple requires a Hydraulic Splitter Manifold
Made in the USA
Frame
- MIG Welded Construction – Engineered for strength and professionally handcrafted
- Quality Materials – Built entirely in the USA with high-strength North American steel
- JDQA Hooks – Reinforced with cap plates for extra strength
- Durable Protection – Baked-on powder coat is augmented by our proprietary graphite coating on the fork rails for the easiest sliding of attachments
- Chain Slots – For 5/16 inch (8 mm) link chain at all four corners for easy lifting and securing of loads
- Trussed Frame – Every pound of excess weight is removed without losing strength
- Super High-Strength Upper & Lower Fork Rails – No cheap-formed steel here. Our frames are built like a real forklift carriage. These rails are laser cut from extremely high-strength and wear-resistant North American steel
Grapple
- The Artillian Variable Grip Grapple connects to an Artillian Pallet Fork Frame, mounted on the front-end loader arms of compact and sub-compact tractors.
- Allows operators to pick up, grip, & haul brush, branches, logs, rocks, and other forms of debris.
- Modular design with lower jaw assembly(s) and one or more upper jaw clamping assemblies.
- A clamping assembly is hingedly attached to the lower jaw and consists of proximal, medial, and distal segments hingedly attached to each other with mechanical linkages controlling their motion.
- Opens and closes by a sole double-acting hydraulic cylinder.
- Mechanical linkages collapse the upper jaw during closing such that objects of varying sizes can be pulled into the jaws and gripped firmly between the segments of the upper jaw, like a fist.
- Choose combinations of Sectional Iron Fist Grapple and Rake Sections
- These units attach to Artillian Pallet Fork Frames
- Grapple Sections require a 3rd loader function, such as our Diverter Kits
- Grapples are rated for use on tractors below 50 HP
Frame
Designed for a maximum load of 3000 lbs. (1360 kg) at 18 inches (46 cm) Load Center. Maximum load may be limited by attachment weights.
- Frame Weight: 103 lbs. (46.72 kg)
- Built-in 2-inch hitch receiver
- Lift capacity: 3000 lbs.
- Side load capacity: 2000 lbs.
- Frame Rails: ½” thick ASTM A514/T-1 Alloy Steel
- Tubes: ASTM A513 Steel
- Mounting Trusses: ¼” HRPO 1010 Steel
- JDQA Hooks: ¼” ASTM A572 Grade 50 Steel
- JDQA Pins: Low Carbon Steel
- SSQA Plates: ¼” ASTM A572 Grade 50 Steel
- MSSQA Plates: ¼” ASTM A572 Grade 50 Steel
Grapple
Powerful – Each Grapple Section can provide up to 1020 lbs. of clamping force at the tips. Using multiple grapples doubles or triples these capabilities. On the high-force hinge setting, three grapples can apply over 3000 lbs. of crushing clamping force at the tips!
High Strength – Both Grapple and Rake Sections are made primarily of 3/8-inch thick ultra-high-strength and wear-resistant steel.
- Tines, Spine Plate, & Cylinder Mounts: 3/8” thick AR400 Abrasion Resistant Alloy Steel
- Tubes: ASTM A513 Steel
- Gussets: ¼” HRPO 1010 Steel
Lightweight – Through extensive engineering, a typical Rake-Grapple-Rake setup weighs about the same as your bucket but is far stronger than competitive products. These Grapples harness over 5000 lbs. of hydraulic cylinder force, but weigh just 120 lbs. Each Rake Section weighs just 45 lbs.
Using more than one Grapple requires a Hydraulic Splitter Manifold
These will only fit Artillian fork frames
Grapple Performance:
- Grapples are rated for use on tractors below 50 HP
- Grapple closing/opening time: 0.5-1 second
- Clamping force at the tips:
| Tractor Hydraulic Pressure, psi | Tip Force (max), lbs. @ Wide Open Setting |
|---|---|
| 3000 | 700 |
| 2800 | 650 |
| 2500 | 570 |
| 2200 | 500 |
Clamping force varies through the range of clamp rotation and also depends on your tractor’s hydraulic pressure.
