When cleanup, rock removal, site prep, or debris management becomes more than just moving dirt, you need a tool built for separation, strength, and durability. The Haugen Skeleton Grapple for Skid Steers is designed precisely for that — a heavy-duty, rock- and debris-handling attachment built to tackle rugged jobs including rock picking, brush clearing, demolition waste removal, and everyday land cleanup.
At the core of the Skeleton Grapple’s design are 3/8"-thick heavy-duty tines spaced 3 inches apart with a serrated front edge — ideal for grabbing rocks, broken concrete, brush, logs, and other debris while letting dirt and fine gravel fall through. This open-bottom design makes it significantly more efficient than a solid bucket when the goal is to remove large debris while leaving soil or small material behind.
The grapple arms are powered by independent double cylinder grapples (or single-cylinder variants available), which give you strong, balanced clamping force for uneven, irregular loads — from jagged rocks to tangled brush piles. Additionally, the unit features protected hose routing and cylinder guards, greasable zinc-coated pivot pins, a heavy-duty reinforced skid-steer mount plate, and removable side plates to increase versatility for different tasks.
Depending on your machine and workload, the Skeleton Grapple comes in multiple bucket widths — commonly 72", 78", and 84" — with tine counts of 20, 21, or 23 respectively. This ensures there is a configuration suited for compact skid steers up to larger loaders, giving flexibility to contractors, landscapers, demolition crews, and property maintenance teams.
Because it's built by a trusted U.S. manufacturer (Haugen Attachments) with heavy-duty steel, industrial-grade cylinders, and durable hardware, this grapple is designed for daily demanding use — perfect for rock removal, brush and debris cleanup, demolition waste handling, site preparation, land clearing, and recycling operations. The Skeleton Grapple turns your skid steer into a high-strength debris- and rock-handling machine capable of handling tough, uneven loads reliably and efficiently.
If you need dependable performance for rock picking, jobsite cleanup, or clearing heavy debris, the Haugen Skeleton Grapple delivers a strong, versatile, and durable solution that increases productivity, reduces waste hauling, and extends equipment life.
