Original Grapple & Frame for SSQA Front Loaders
$1,255.00 – $4,556.00
Completely transform the way you do landscaping with a rake and Original 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 Original Grapple & Frame for SSQA Front Loaders includes both the 3000 Lb. Skid Steer Quick Attach frame, and your choice of rake & grapple set-up to suit your needs.
The Original Grapple & Frame for SSQA Front Loaders is a modular system with 8 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 Original Grapple’s 1020 lb. clamp force.
Frame
3000 Lb. Skid Steer Quick Attach Frame fits any Universal Quick Attach or Skid Steer Quick Attach loader meeting SAE J2513 standard. Includes built-in 2-inch receiver. *Some Quick Attach Mounts may limit the rear passage of the ball mount.
Grapple
The Artillian Sectional Grapple System mounts on the Artillian Pallet Fork Frame. Mix & match sections to best accomplish your tasks. Grapple sections include hydraulic hoses, ready to plug into our hydraulic diverter kits, and go right to work! Using more than one Grapple requires a Hydraulic Splitter Manifold
When using Artillian 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.

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
- Unlimited Uses – Designed for brush, roots, rocks, firewood processing, land grading, etc. This system can be used for work above or below grade
- Quality Components – We use welded hydraulic cylinders for better durability and longer life over the low-budget tie rod cylinders used by others
- Versatile – The rake sections can be used for widening the Grapple bed or by themselves as a ground scouring fire rake and all-purpose rock bucket. Clear away brush, grade the soil, and then scoop up the waste and haul it away
- Quick Installation – Permanently attached fast-action hardware secures Grapple and Rake Sections to the Artillian pallet fork frame in seconds
- Simple Connections – Grapple Sections include hydraulic hoses with 1/4″ male quick disconnect tips to plug right into our Diverter Kits
- Low Maintenance – Our Grapple hinge bushings are made of a custom high-load and high-wear-life material similar to carbon fiber, which requires no lubrication or maintenance
- Construction – CAD designed, CNC cut from high-strength North American steel and MIG welding
- Finish – Powder-coat black
- 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

- JDQA Hooks: ¼” ASTM A572 Grade 50 Steel
- JDQA Pins: Low Carbon Steel
- SSQA Plates: ¼” ASTM A572 Grade 50 Steel
- Installation Manual
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 90 lbs. Each Rake Section weighs just 40 lbs.
Compact: Grapple is 26” Long X 14-1/4” Wide X 23” High (not including hoses)
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 | @ High Force Setting | |
| 3000 | 700 | 1020 |
| 2800 | 650 | 950 |
| 2500 | 570 | 850 |
| 2200 | 500 | 750 |
Clamping force varies through the range of clamp rotation and also depends on your tractor’s hydraulic pressure.
