OVERVIEW
When you need precise control and powerful gripping performance for sorting rocks, cleaning up brush, handling debris, or managing loose materials, the Haugen Rod Grapple for Skid Steer Loaders delivers exceptional capability and rugged dependability. This open-bottom rod-style grapple is engineered for operators who need maximum visibility, superior clamping force, and efficient material handling on construction sites, landscaping projects, agricultural work, demolition jobs, and property cleanup operations.
Unlike solid-bottom grapples, the rod grapple design allows dirt, gravel, and fines to fall through, making it the perfect attachment for applications where you need to lift, sift, separate, and sort materials efficiently. Whether you're moving rocks out of soil, picking up logs or brush, cleaning storm debris, or organizing piles during land clearing, this grapple offers a combination of strength, control, and versatility that enhances any jobsite.
Haugen’s engineering focuses on durability and real-world performance. Constructed with industrial-strength steel rods, reinforced structural supports, and heavy-duty grapple arms, the Rod Grapple withstands repeated impacts, constant vibration, and demanding everyday use. The powerful hydraulic cylinders ensure secure gripping action, even with uneven or awkward loads, while the serrated grapple tines provide extra holding power.
One of the greatest advantages of the Haugen Rod Grapple is its open-back and open-tine layout, which delivers excellent sightlines for precise picking and placement. Operators can see exactly what they're grabbing—whether it's a specific rock, a cluster of brush, or debris that needs careful sorting. This visibility reduces mistakes, increases speed, and improves safety during operation.
Because it mounts to a universal skid steer quick-attach plate, the Haugen Rod Grapple is compatible with Bobcat, CAT, Case, Kubota, John Deere, New Holland, Gehl, Takeuchi, and virtually all skid steers with standard quick-attach systems. Whether you run a compact machine or a high-horsepower skid steer, this grapple enhances your machine’s ability to clear land, manage materials, and perform fine sorting.
The spacing between the rods is optimized for rock handling, allowing soil to filter through while retaining larger materials. This makes it especially effective for landscaping contractors, farmers, ranchers, demolition crews, and property maintenance teams who need an attachment that improves accuracy and reduces unnecessary material movement.
With rugged USA-made construction, excellent hydraulic performance, and a design tailored for maximum efficiency, the Haugen Rod Grapple stands out as one of the most dependable rock and brush-handling grapples on the market.
