HLA Attachments RRG88BO500 88-Inch Root Rake with Grapple is a hydraulic material-handling attachment designed to gather roots, rocks and debris while allowing loose material to pass through its tines. This regular-duty root rake combines an 88-inch nominal working width with two independent grapple sections, helping it clamp securely around awkward, uneven or irregular loads. Equipped with the BO500 quick-attach interface, it is intended for compatible skid-steer-style and universal quick-attach loader carriers.
The open-tine rake design makes the RRG88BO500 well suited to land clearing, site cleanup and debris handling. As the attachment moves through material, roots, rocks and larger debris can be gathered while smaller loose material passes between the tines. The 7-inch center-to-center tine spacing provides an open structure for separating material during cleanup work.
Two independent grapples provide more complete clamping across uneven loads than a single full-width grapple. Each grapple section can follow the shape of the material being handled, making the attachment useful when moving brush, roots and other loads that do not have a uniform profile. The grapples open up to 48-1/2 inches, providing capacity for bulky material, while the attachment measures 34 inches high with the grapples closed.
The tine points are manufactured from 1/2-inch-thick AR400 material. This durable construction supports demanding contact with roots, rocks and debris during raking and gathering operations. The complete base attachment has an approximate weight of 1,125 lb, so loader capacity and carrier compatibility should be checked before ordering or operating the attachment.
The RRG88 uses two 2-1/2-inch by 8-inch hydraulic cylinders to operate its dual grapple sections. Required hydraulic flow and pressure are not specified. Hose and coupler requirements are also not specified, so the carrier’s auxiliary hydraulic setup should be confirmed before ordering.
Compatible hydraulic options include the HK90 90-inch hose kit with flat-faced couplers and the HK9090 90-inch hose kit with 90-degree flat-faced couplers. An optional SHMK spring hose-mount kit is also available.
This configuration is fitted with the HLA BO500 quick-attach interface. HLA lists BO500 for numerous skid-steer-style and universal quick-attach loader carriers; however, the specific loader, carrier interface, hydraulic connections and rated operating capacity should be confirmed before ordering. The carrier must be suitable for the attachment’s approximate 1,125 lb base weight as well as the intended load.
