OVERVIEW

Ultimate Root & Brush Clearing Solution

The Haugen Skeleton Grapple for telehandlers is a rugged, high-capacity material handling attachment designed to tackle heavy duty root, brush, and debris removal. Built in the USA with Grade 50 steel and industrial-grade cylinders, this grapple is engineered for professional contractors, forestry crews, land-clearing operations, and job sites that demand durability, power, and efficiency.

With widths of 72" and 96", bucket size of 40" high × 46" deep, and a massive 48.5" grapple opening, this attachment offers serious capacity and reach. Whether you’re grabbing big root systems, logs, tree debris, or clearing land after storm damage, the Skeleton Grapple delivers performance and reliability.

Heavy Duty Build for Tough Conditions

The Skeleton Grapple uses ½" thick Grade 50 steel tines spaced at 6.25", which means it can withstand the rigors of large-scale root pulling, brush grappling, and heavy material handling. A serrated edge helps penetrate dense undergrowth and tough terrain. The powder coat finish protects against harsh job site conditions and extends lifespan.

Precision Handling & Maximum Capacity

The generous grapple opening of 48.5" allows for secure capture of larger loads, while the bucket’s 40" height and 46" depth provide substantial volume. Independent grapple arms give operators flexible handling control, making it easier to position and load large, irregular materials.

Telehandler Compatibility

Engineered for leading telehandler brands (Cat, SkyTrak, Genie, Manitou, Gehl, JLG), the Skeleton Grapple mounts easily on their couplers. That means fewer fitting headaches and faster deployment on site. Whether you’re working in forestry, landscaping, demolition or rental operations, this attachment works where you need it.

Built for Versatility

Though ideal for root and brush clearing, the Skeleton Grapple also excels in demolition debris handling, recycling yard heavy loads, and site cleanup where bulky material must be moved, clamped, and transported. Its versatility makes it an excellent investment for multi-use equipment fleets.

Choose the Width to Match Your Telehandler

72-inch width – great for standard telehandler capacities and tighter work zones
96-inch width – maximizes load volume for large scale clearing, forestry, or rental fleets

FAQs

Can a grapple damage my tractor?

A grapple can damage a tractor only if it’s used improperly or if the attachment is not the correct size or weight for the machine. When matched correctly, a grapple is completely safe. Damage usually occurs when operators exceed the tractor’s lift capacity, apply uneven loads, use the wrong hydraulic connections, or drive aggressively with a heavy load raised high. Choosing the right grapple size, following the tractor’s load chart, and using proper operating techniques will prevent damage and ensure safe, efficient use.

What is the difference between a brush grapple and a skeleton grapple?

A brush grapple is designed to grab and move loose, lightweight materials—such as brush, branches, limbs, logs, and storm debris. It typically has closer-spaced tines and is built to gather a large volume of organic material without letting it fall through.

A skeleton grapple, on the other hand, is built for heavier, more demanding work. It features widely spaced, heavy-duty tines that allow dirt, rocks, and small debris to fall through while clamping only the larger material. This makes skeleton grapples ideal for roots, stumps, rocks, demolition debris, and land-clearing operations.

What is a skeleton bucket used for?

A skeleton bucket is used for sorting and separating materials while digging, loading, or clearing land. Its wide-spaced tines allow dirt, sand, and small debris to fall through, while retaining larger materials such as rocks, roots, brush, logs, and demolition debris. This makes it ideal for land clearing, site preparation, rock picking, demolition cleanup, and landscaping work. Skeleton buckets are commonly used on skid steers, excavators, and telehandlers for jobs that require efficient filtering and handling of oversized material.
