HLA Attachments - 96" Grapple Only To Fit 108" Fork Or Bucket with Cylinders - Hydraulic Material Handling [LA-GRL96]

HLA Attachments GRL96 96-Inch Large Utility Grapple is a heavy-duty hydraulic grapple assembly designed for use with a compatible 108-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 in size. The grapple opens up to 85 inches according to HLA’s current product page and includes the hydraulic cylinders required to operate the grapple. Removable, bolt-on mounting posts simplify installation and removal while allowing the host fork or bucket to remain a versatile part of your equipment lineup.

This product is the 96-inch grapple assembly only; it is not a complete fork or bucket. With an approximate weight of 690 lb, the GRL96 is intended for compatible HLA SB, SBHV, MB, MBHV, MBHVX and THMB models configured with a 108-inch fork or bucket. It is expressly not compatible with HLA THMBHV or THMBHVX buckets.

Heavy-Duty Bale and Material Handling

The GRL96 is part of HLA Attachments’ Large Utility Grapple family. Its heavy-duty design provides the capacity needed to secure and control bulky agricultural materials, including large round and square bales. The generous grapple width and wide opening help operators position the grapple over substantial loads, while hydraulic operation provides active clamping and controlled material retention.

For applications that require additional protection or a ready-to-connect hydraulic hose arrangement, HLA offers an optional bolt-on guard and two optional 90-inch hose-kit configurations. These accessories are sold separately.
