HLA Attachments SGB72BO500 72-Inch Scrap Grapple Bucket is a heavy-duty hydraulic material-handling attachment designed for controlling awkward, abrasive loads. Its 72-inch inside width combines practical carrying capacity with two independent hydraulic grapples, helping the bucket conform to uneven material and hold irregular loads securely. The BO500 mounting configuration provides a universal skid-steer-style quick attach for compatible loaders, making this grapple bucket suitable for demanding material-handling applications where a conventional bucket may not provide adequate load control.
The SGB72 is built with 1/4-inch main material and reinforced by 3/8-inch end plates. This construction is designed for the demanding conditions associated with abrasive and difficult-to-handle material. A 3/4 x 6-inch beveled cutting edge provides a durable working edge for engaging material, while the bucket is also drilled to accept a standard bolt-on cutting edge.
With a 15.9-cubic-foot struck capacity and a 20.7-cubic-foot SAE heaped capacity, the bucket offers useful volume for collecting, carrying, and relocating material. Its overall dimensions are 31 inches high and 34 inches deep, with an approximate attachment weight of 1,120 pounds.
Two independent hydraulic grapples allow the attachment to grip uneven or irregularly shaped loads. Because each grapple operates independently, the bucket can maintain contact across loads with varying heights and profiles. This arrangement is especially useful when handling awkward material that may shift or extend beyond the bucket’s main shell.
The grapple system is powered by two 2-1/2 x 8-inch hydraulic cylinders. Together, the hydraulic grapples and reinforced bucket structure provide controlled material retention during pickup, movement, and placement.
The SGB72BO500 is configured with HLA Attachments’ BO500 carrier mounting code. It is compatible with loaders equipped with a universal skid-steer-style quick-attach carrier. Confirm the loader’s carrier configuration and operating capacity are appropriate for the attachment’s approximate 1,120-pound weight before use.
