HLA Attachments MBHV108HDGRL96 Heavy-Duty High-Volume Front-End Loader Bucket with GRL96 Grapple and BO500 Mount combines a 108-inch material bucket with a factory-matched 96-inch large utility grapple for demanding material-handling applications. Built with 1/4-inch bucket material, 1/4-inch end plates and a substantial 3/4 x 6-inch beveled cutting edge, this attachment is designed to move bulky loads while providing the grapple control needed to secure loose, uneven or oversized material. Its 49.9-cubic-foot SAE heaped capacity, 85-inch maximum grapple opening and ability to handle large round bales up to 6 feet make it a versatile choice for agricultural, commercial and general loader work.
The MBHV108HD bucket provides a 108-inch inside width and an approximate 110-inch outside width, with a 36-inch depth and 30-inch height. Its high-volume profile offers a struck capacity of 40.9 cubic feet and an SAE heaped capacity of 49.9 cubic feet, allowing operators to handle substantial amounts of material per pass.
Reinforced rounded back and end plates add strength while promoting easier filling and cleanout. Tapered, self-cleaning end plates help reduce material buildup, while the reinforced top lip supports the bucket structure during demanding loading operations. The flat top also serves as a convenient level indicator when positioning the bucket.
The matched GRL96 grapple has a nominal width of 96 inches and opens to a maximum of 85 inches. This wide opening accommodates bulky and irregular loads and enables the assembly to handle large round bales measuring up to 6 feet. Hydraulic cylinders provide active grapple control, allowing the operator to secure material during lifting, carrying and placement.
A bolt-on, removable grapple-post design adds flexibility by allowing the grapple components to be removed when a conventional material-bucket configuration is preferred. Operation of the grapple requires loader auxiliary hydraulics.
This configuration is intended for front-end loaders using the HLA BO500 quick-attach mounting interface. The GRL96 grapple is factory sized for the 108-inch MBHV108HD bucket. Confirm that the loader’s mounting interface, lift capacity and hydraulic equipment are appropriate for the attachment and intended load before use.
Loader auxiliary hydraulics are required to operate the grapple cylinders. HLA lists optional HK90 and HK9090 hose kits with flat-faced couplers. Hydraulic flow and pressure requirements are not specified for this configuration.
