Product Details

Get a better view and a bigger bite with the uniquely designed Loflin Skid Steer Vertical Root Grapple.

Are you frustrated by standard grapples that let tall brush piles spill out the sides? Most horizontal designs simply don't have the reach or "mouth" depth needed for high-volume forestry work.

The Loflin Vertical Root Grapple changes the game with its unique upright cylinder placement. This engineering choice creates a towering jaw opening that can easily swallow massive, awkward debris piles that standard grapples leave behind.

By pulling material deeper into the throat of the unit, this grapple keeps the load closer to your machine. This significantly improves your center of gravity and overall stability when navigating rough or uneven terrain with a full load.

Every unit is handcrafted in America using high-tensile Grade 50 steel for maximum durability. You can pry, rake, and lift with total confidence, knowing the frame is built to handle the breakout force of high-flow skid steers.

The dual independent cylinders ensure that each side of the jaw adjusts to the specific shape of your debris. This allows you to pin a thick, tapered log and a pile of loose brush simultaneously with a secure, unbreakable grip.

This Attachment is designed with a skeleton-style bottom that acts as a built-in sieve to leave your valuable topsoil on the ground. The Loflin Vertical Root Grapple is the superior choice for professional land clearers who demand a cleaner, faster, and more efficient workflow.

 

 

 

 

Why Choose The Loflin Vertical Root Grapple?

 

 

High-Volume Vertical Geometry

The vertically mounted cylinders allow the jaw to open much taller than standard models. This "deep-throat" design is specifically engineered for arborists and clearing crews who need to manage high-volume brush and jagged, standing debris.

 

Dual Independent Clamping Force

Standard grapples often lose grip on irregular loads. The Loflin system uses dual cylinders that operate independently, allowing one side to pin a thick stump while the other side secures a thin branch with equal force.

 

Industrial Grade 50 Steel

Built to withstand the forces of modern high-flow skid steers and track loaders, this grapple uses premium high-tensile steel to prevent the tines from bending or twisting during aggressive prying and demolition work.

 

Clean-Burn Sifting Design

The precision-spaced bottom tines allow you to rake through the soil to snag roots while letting the dirt fall through. This ensures your burn piles are free of unnecessary soil, making your cleanup faster.

 

Maximum Operator Visibility

By moving the hydraulic cylinders to a vertical orientation, the top of the grapple remains clear. This gives the operator an unobstructed line of sight to the tines, making it easier to navigate around fence lines and buildings.

 

Built for Raking and Back-Dragging

The job isn't finished just because you moved the pile. We reinforced the back of this frame so you can tilt it forward and rake in reverse to clean up the leftovers. It’s perfect for smoothing out the dirt or pulling up those last few annoying vines and roots once the heavy lifting is done.

 

Shielded from Falling Debris

When you’re grabbing a massive, tall pile of brush, things tend to fall back toward your machine. We didn't leave the hydraulics out in the open where a stray branch could snag a line. The hoses are tucked inside the steel frame and the cylinders are covered by heavy-duty guards, so you don't have to worry about a "hidden" branch putting you out of commission for the day.
