HLA Attachments LG7548BO500 Log Grapple on HD75 Pallet Fork combines hydraulic grapple handling with the strength and versatility of a heavy-duty pallet-fork platform. Built around the HLA HD75 fork, this attachment features a 7,500 lb pallet-fork capacity at a 24-inch load centre, 48-inch Class III solid forklift tines, heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders and a BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach mount. It is designed for loaders and skid steers handling logs and other bulky materials where secure hydraulic clamping, adjustable tine placement and a robust fork carriage are important.
The LG7548 is the grapple version of HLA’s HD75 pallet fork. This combined design provides a substantial fork platform beneath a hydraulic grapple, helping operators control and carry logs or other suitable materials that can be difficult to stabilize with forks alone. Heavy-duty cylinders are included to operate the grapple, while the included guard adds protection at the carriage.
The HD75 fork platform is rated for 7,500 lb at a 24-inch load centre. Its 48-inch tines are solid, Class III hook-type forklift tines measuring 1-3/4 by 5 inches. The tines slide across the 50-inch carriage, allowing their spacing to be adjusted for different loads. Once positioned, they can be locked in place to maintain the selected spacing during operation.
This configured model includes HLA’s BO500 mounting code, which provides a universal skid-steer-style quick-attach interface. It is intended for compatible loaders and skid steers equipped with the corresponding universal skid-steer-style carrier. This common mounting format makes the attachment suitable for use across appropriately equipped machines without changing the attachment’s configured mount.
The sliding tine arrangement allows the operator to configure fork spacing according to the material being handled. This is useful when moving loads with different widths or support requirements. The ability to lock the tines in any position helps keep the selected spacing consistent, while the grapple provides an additional point of control over material resting on the forks.
With its heavy-duty fork rating, solid tines and hydraulic grapple, the LG7548BO500 is suited to demanding material-handling applications involving logs and other bulky loads. As with any loader attachment, the host machine’s operating capacity, hydraulic configuration and attachment rating must be considered before use.
The LG7548BO500 is compatible with loaders and skid steers equipped with the BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach interface. Confirm that the carrier, machine capacity and operating setup are appropriate for the attachment’s approximately 1,030 lb weight and the intended load.
