Description
HLA Attachments GRL72 Large Utility Grapple is a heavy-duty, 72-inch grapple-only assembly designed for installation on a compatible 84-inch HLA fork or bucket. Built for demanding material-handling applications, it is suitable for handling large round and square bales and can accommodate round bales up to 6 feet. The grapple opens to a maximum of 85 inches, providing the capacity needed to secure bulky loads. Hydraulic cylinders are supplied, while removable bolt-on mounting posts simplify installation on a compatible assembly.
Heavy-Duty Bale and Material Handling
The GRL72 expands the capabilities of an existing compatible HLA fork or bucket by adding hydraulic grapple functionality. Its large opening allows the operator to engage, hold and move substantial loads, including large round and square bales. The 72-inch grapple width provides broad load coverage, while the heavy-duty construction is intended for utility and agricultural material-handling work.
This product is the grapple assembly only and is specifically sized for an 84-inch HLA fork or bucket. Confirm the model family and attachment width before ordering. The GRL72 fits selected HLA SB, SBHV, MB, MBHV, MBHVX and THMB assemblies, but it does not fit THMBHV or THMBHVX buckets.
