Rockland grapple attachment scoops debris

Bedford, Pennsylvania-based Rockland Manufacturing says its new cleanup grapple is designed to turn a loader into a more efficient debris-removal machine. The cleanup grapple functions like a claw that scoops and loads leaves, garden waste, manure, wood chips and other debris.  

Rockland’s cleanup grapple features two independent hydraulic clamps that surround and pick up material rather than pushing material around. A 2-foot vertical extension option is designed to decrease loss during movement when handling large loads. 

Built from alloy steel, the grapple is designed to be wear and abrasion resistant, even with frequent contact on asphalt and other hard surfaces. All Rockland cleanup grapples feature heat-treated, reversible, bolt-on cutting edges. Extreme duty versions and customization for severe and unique applications are available, the company says. 

Rockland cleanup grapples mount in place of the standard loader bucket using factory pins or coupler brackets. All Rockland cleanup grapples are covered by what Rockland calls its “no nonsense guarantee” for a period of one year or 2,000 operating hours. 

Rockland designs and manufactures more than 170 construction attachments for excavators, loaders, dozers, graders and haul trucks.
