Description
HLA Attachments GRC48 48-Inch Compact Utility Grapple is a grapple-only hydraulic attachment designed to fit a 48-inch fork. Supplied complete with a heavy-duty welded hydraulic cylinder, it adds grapple functionality to compatible HLA fork models for more controlled material handling. Its 37-1/2-inch maximum opening provides useful capacity for handling bulky or irregular loads, while the 48-inch width matches the corresponding fork size. This configuration is ideal when the compatible fork is already in service and only the grapple assembly and cylinder are required.
Grapple-Only Configuration
The GRC48 is supplied as a 48-inch grapple with its hydraulic cylinder. It does not include the fork. Before ordering, confirm that the existing attachment is a compatible HLA SBC, MBC, or LDFE model with a 48-inch fork.
At approximately 136 lb, the grapple is built around a heavy-duty welded cylinder and opens to a maximum of 37-1/2 inches. This opening allows the grapple to close over materials that may be difficult to retain on forks alone, helping provide additional load control during hydraulic material-handling work.

Compatibility
The HLA GRC48 is specified for HLA Attachments models SBC, MBC, and LDFE. It is the 48-inch grapple variant and must be paired with a compatible 48-inch fork. The fork is not included with this product.
Compatibility should be confirmed by both the HLA model designation and fork width before installation. This product is intended as the grapple component rather than a complete fork-and-grapple assembly.
Hydraulic Requirements
A hydraulic cylinder is included with the grapple. Manufacturer specifications for hydraulic flow, operating pressure, hoses, and couplers are not provided for this model. Required hydraulic connections should therefore be confirmed for the machine and existing attachment before installation.
