OVERVIEW

For demanding clean-up jobs, rock-laden terrain, demolition debris, or general site prep, the right attachment can make all the difference. The Haugen Skeleton Grapple – Single Cylinder transforms your skid steer loader into a powerful debris, rock, and material-handling machine. Designed for landscape work, property cleanup, rock removal, and light demolition tasks, this grapple combines strength, simplicity, and versatility.

The Skeleton Grapple’s signature feature is its 3-inch tine spacing with heavy-duty tines and serrated front edge — a design optimized for grabbing and separating rocks, broken concrete, brush, logs, and larger debris while letting dirt, sand, and fines drop through. Because of this open-tine design, you avoid hauling unnecessary dirt, reducing waste weight and maximizing useful load with every scoop.

Rather than dual-claw designs, this model uses a single grapple clam with bolt-on teeth, simplifying hydraulic setup while still providing secure hold on awkward and irregular loads like rocks or mixed debris. The bolt-on teeth ensure a strong bite and make maintenance easier over time — worn teeth can be replaced without replacing the entire grapple. 

For added jobsite flexibility, the Skeleton Grapple features removable side plates, allowing operators to switch between tighter containment (with plates) or wider bucket capacity (plates removed), depending on the task. 

Despite its strength, the grapple is built for ease of use: greasable zinc-coated pins ensure long-lasting, smooth pivot action and simpler maintenance. The attachment is engineered to balance rugged construction with manageable upkeep — ideal for contractors, landscapers, rental fleets, and land-clearing crews who want reliability and low downtime.

Haugen offers the Skeleton Grapple Single Cylinder in multiple width options — 72", 78", and 84" bucket widths — corresponding to 20, 21, or 23 heavy-duty tines respectively, allowing you to match the grapple to your skid steer size and the volume of material you plan to move.

Whether you’re clearing rock-strewn land, removing demolition debris, cleaning up after storms, or managing brush and logs — this Skeleton Grapple adds versatility and power. It turns your skid steer into an efficient debris-sorting and rock-handling machine — reducing trips, increasing load weight per pass, and streamlining jobsite workflows.

For those seeking a simple, durable, and effective skid steer attachment — without the complexity of dual-claw systems — the Skeleton Grapple Single Cylinder is a smart choice. Its balance of power, simplicity, and versatility make it a dependable workhorse for many heavy-duty applications.
