HLA Attachments SGBC48BO500 48-Inch Compact Scrap Grapple Bucket combines a compact bucket profile with hydraulic grapple control for handling scrap and other materials. Designed with a 48-inch inside width and the BO500 universal skid-steer-style quick-attach mounting configuration, this grapple bucket is suited to compatible compact equipment where maneuverability and controlled material handling are important. Its single grapple arm opens wide to capture bulky or irregular loads, while the reinforced bucket, end plates, beveled cutting edge, and included hydraulic cylinder provide a practical combination of strength and functionality.
The SGBC48 is built for loading, gathering, carrying, and positioning material that may be difficult to retain in a standard bucket. A hydraulically operated single grapple arm helps secure material against the bucket during handling and transport. The current HLA Attachments catalogue specifies a maximum grapple opening of 36 inches, providing clearance for bulky loads while maintaining a compact overall attachment size.
With an overall height and depth of 26 inches, the bucket offers a compact geometry for use in confined work areas. It has a 7.2-cubic-foot struck capacity and a 9.2-cubic-foot SAE heaped capacity. Approximate attachment weight is 450 lb.
The bucket is manufactured from 3/16-inch material and uses 1/4-inch end plates for additional support at the sides. A 3/4-by-4-inch beveled cutting edge provides a robust leading edge for engaging material. The bucket is also drilled for a standard bolt-on cutting edge, allowing a compatible replaceable edge to be fitted when required.
Hydraulic grapple movement is provided by one included 2-1/2-by-8-inch cylinder. The single-arm arrangement delivers controlled clamping without unnecessarily complicating the compact bucket design.
The SGBC48BO500 uses HLA Attachments’ BO500 mounting configuration and is compatible with universal skid-steer quick-attach carriers. Confirm that the carrier and its quick-attach interface are suitable for the attachment’s dimensions, approximate 450 lb weight, and intended load before operation.
