Paladin
Hydraulic jaw
2,250–4,100 lbs
Overview
This Paladin wheel loader grapple bucket is a Class 200 grapple for wheel loaders, with a hydraulic jaw that holds what an open bucket drops. It is offered in 3 capacities and 4 side designs, weighing 2,250–4,100 lbs across 14 SKUs. It is supplied for a Class 200 coupler mounting, confirmed against your machine at order.
Key Features of This Paladin Wheel Loader Grapple Bucket
- Dual hydraulic cylinders operate independently, so the jaw clamps evenly on uneven loads.
- Four upper-jaw styles: full side moves small and fine material, half side is lighter for medium material, cut away sheds bulky loads faster, and grapple rake lets soil fall through while holding brush and roots.
- Optional arm screening for maximum material retention.
- 3 size options: 2.00 YD, 2.25 YD, 2.50 YD.
- 2,250–4,100 lbs across 14 SKUs.
- Often searched for as a loader grapple bucket — same product, different trade name.
- Sometimes listed as a clamshell grapple, which is the term some regions use.
- Buyers also ask for this as a material handling grapple.
- Catalogued elsewhere as a hydraulic grapple bucket — the naming varies more than the product does.
Why Choose This Attachment
- A grapple holds what a bucket drops. Brush, scrap and demolition material roll straight out of an open bucket the moment the machine moves.
- Side design decides what you can carry. Full side keeps fines that a cut-away loses; cut away empties faster and weighs less. They suit different material, not different budgets.
- It needs third-function hydraulics. The jaw is powered, unlike every plain bucket in the range — and on a quick coupler you also need a jumper hose kit.

This attachment fits Class 200 — confirm the mounting against your machine at order. Third-function hydraulics are required, plus a jumper hose kit on a quick coupler — the jaw is powered. At 2,250–4,100 lbs it is a meaningful share of what the machine lifts, so work from the loaded figure rather than the empty one.

Wheel Loader Grapple Bucket Questions, Answered
What is the difference between the side designs?
Full side moves small and fine material without losing it through the sides. Half side is lighter and suits medium material. Cut away sheds bulky loads faster and weighs least.
Does it need special hydraulics?
Yes — third function, and a jumper hose kit if you run it on a quick coupler. The jaw is powered.
Can it hold soil?
Fines fall through, especially on a cut-away. For material handling a bucket is the tool; a grapple is for objects.
What does arm screening do?
It closes the gaps between the arms so fine material stays in. Worth it for mixed or crushed material, unnecessary for logs and large debris.
Will it damage what it grips?
It grips hard by design, which suits scrap and demolition and does not suit anything you want intact.
How do I size it?
Take the rated capacity, subtract the grapple weight, and what remains is the load. Grapples are heavier than they look because the jaw and pivots carry the whole gripping force.
What maintenance does it need?
Grease the pivots and check hose routing where it crosses the arm. Pivots carry the entire gripping load.
Can I use a grapple for sorting?
It is one of the better uses. Sorting a mixed pile means picking specific material out of it, which is exactly what a jaw does and a bucket cannot.
Do the tines wear out?
The tips do, and on rock they go quickly. Check for bending as well as wear — a bent tine stops the jaw closing evenly, which is what actually loses you loads.
Is this the same as a demolition grapple bucket?
Yes — demolition grapple bucket, scrap grapple bucket, grapple attachment all describe this product. Terminology varies by region and trade.
