Description
The Paddock™ Hydraulic Grapple Attachment is a heavy-duty mini loader attachment designed for picking up, gripping and moving logs, branches, vegetation, hay, feed bags and other bulky materials. Manufactured from heavy plate steel with hydraulic gripping action, the grapple features an 88° opening angle, approximately 0.4m³ grapple volume and a Multifit / Universal Skid Steer mounting arrangement.
Paddock™ Hydraulic Grapple Attachment
Add hydraulic gripping capability to a compatible mini loader or skid steer with the Paddock™ Hydraulic Grapple Attachment. Designed for landscaping, farming, tree work, property maintenance and construction applications, the grapple makes it easier to pick up and transport bulky or irregularly shaped materials.
The attachment is constructed from heavy plate steel and uses hydraulic operation to securely grip material between the grapple jaws.

Pick Up Bulky & Irregular Materials
The hydraulic grapple is particularly useful for materials that are difficult to handle with a conventional bucket or fork attachment. Hydraulic gripping force helps retain the load while it is being lifted and transported.
Typical materials may include:
- Logs and branches
- Tree and vegetation waste
- Hay bales
- Feed bags
- Mulch and green waste
- Landscaping materials
- Farm and property debris
- Suitable construction and demolition materials
88° Grapple Opening
The grapple opens to a stated maximum angle of 88°, providing a large opening for collecting and gripping bulky materials.
The grapple has an approximate internal volume of 0.4m³ / 400L. This figure describes the approximate grapple volume and is not a lifting capacity or Safe Working Load.
Hydraulic Operation
The grapple is hydraulically operated and supplied with connections compatible with 1/2" DNP flat-face couplings.
The host machine must have suitable auxiliary hydraulic connections, hydraulic flow and operating pressure for the attachment.
Multifit / Universal Skid Steer Hitch
The attachment uses a Multifit / Universal Skid Steer mounting arrangement with an approximate receiver hitch plate area of 580 x 220mm.
Slotted 16mm pin holes provide compatibility with a range of mini loaders; however, mounting systems can vary between manufacturers and models.
Always compare the hitch dimensions and mounting details with your loader before purchasing. Do not rely on the attachment being compatible based on machine brand alone.
Loader Capacity
The grapple itself weighs approximately 120kg. This attachment weight must be included when calculating the remaining lifting capacity of the mini loader.
For example, the weight of the attachment, material being carried, load position and operating conditions all contribute to the load placed on the machine.
Never exceed the mini loader manufacturer's rated operating capacity or hydraulic limits. Carry loads as low as practical during transport and use additional care when operating on slopes or uneven terrain.
Typical Applications
- Tree and branch removal
- Landscaping
- Farm maintenance
- Property clean-up
- Storm debris removal
- Handling hay and feed
- Moving logs
- Vegetation management
- Construction site clean-up

Check Compatibility Before Ordering
Mini loader hitch and hydraulic configurations vary between manufacturers and models. Before ordering, check the attachment's 580 x 220mm mounting area, slotted 16mm pin holes and 1/2" DNP flat-face hydraulic connections against your machine.
Also confirm that the loader has sufficient lifting capacity after allowing for the grapple's approximately 120kg attachment weight.
