Grapples are heavy equipment attachments designed to grip, lift, sort, and move irregular or bulky materials. In the attachments industry, the Grapples category includes hydraulic and mechanical units used on excavators, skid steers, loaders, and other machines. Common applications include demolition debris handling, land clearing, scrap metal recycling, forestry work, waste management, and construction cleanup. Grapples are used by contractors, recyclers, logging operations, demolition crews, municipalities, and material handling businesses that need controlled handling of loose or uneven loads. This category supports efficient material separation, loading, and site cleanup in demanding work environments where standard buckets or forks are not suitable.
