Knoxville, Tennessee – Blue Diamond Attachments, a skid steer and compact equipment attachments manufacturer, has expanded its lineup of grapple tools with the introduction of the HDX Rock Grapple Bucket, designed for skid steers and compact track loaders with up to 75 hp or 3,000-pound lift capacity.
The new attachment is engineered to handle bulky materials in a single load, helping improve productivity in landscaping, land clearing and cleanup applications. Measuring 72 inches wide and 39 inches deep, the HDX Rock Grapple Bucket offers a maximum opening of 32 inches and features dual top clamps built from half-inch steel, enabling operators to securely grab rocks, brush and logs while efficiently clearing debris. The attachment can also function as a land plane for lighter clearing tasks.
Blue Diamond designed the HDX Rock Grapple Bucket with durability and performance in mind. It features three-inch tine spacing with reinforced gussets to help separate finer materials from larger debris, along with fully welded hydraulic cylinders that improve clamping force and durability. Greasable pivot points help reduce wear and simplify maintenance, while enhanced cylinder and hose protection minimizes the risk of hydraulic damage and downtime.
Mr. Drew Truan, chief operating officer at Blue Diamond Attachments, said, “The HDX Rock Grapple Bucket fills an important gap in the attachment range. The new model is aimed at customers operating mid-duty machines who require a rugged grapple capable of handling demanding jobsite tasks while offering reliability and long service life.”
