📘 Overview
The Haugen telehandler grapple (MSGT) is a skeleton grapple bucket built for telehandlers working rock, debris and demolition, rather than a skid steer attachment adapted to fit. Two widths, 72" and 84", with 1/2" grade 50 tines at 6.25" spacing and independent grapple arms on 2-1/2" x 10" industrial cylinders.
Mounts are available for Cat, Skytrak, Gehl, Manitou, Genie and JLG telehandlers.

🏗 Why a Telehandler Grapple Is a Different Attachment
A telehandler is not a big skid steer. It reaches out and up, which changes what an attachment on the end of the boom has to do and what it can weigh.
- Reach costs capacity. Everything a telehandler carries gets harder to hold as the boom extends. An attachment built for the machine keeps weight where it needs to be rather than adding it where it hurts most.
- The carriage is different. Telehandler carriages vary by manufacturer, so the mount is machine-specific — Cat, Skytrak, Gehl, Manitou, Genie and JLG are all available.
- Wider tine spacing. At 6.25" this is roughly twice a skid steer skeleton grapple's 3", suiting the larger demolition material a telehandler is usually reaching into.
📋 Specification Note
Haugen has not published weights or capacity figures for the MSGT range in the 2026 price guides, so none are listed here rather than estimated. If you need the empty weight to work out your machine's down-rated capacity, support@eskidsteer.com will get the figures from the manufacturer.
🚜 Telehandler Compatibility
Like most telehandler attachments, the mount is machine-specific — Cat, Skytrak, Gehl, Manitou, Genie and JLG are available. Supply your machine's make and model with the order so the correct mount is fitted.
An auxiliary hydraulic circuit is required for the grapple cylinders. Telehandler capacity falls as the boom extends, so work from your machine's load chart at the reach and height you will actually use.
❓ Telehandler Grapple FAQs
Why not just use a skid steer grapple with an adapter?
You can put a skid steer attachment on a telehandler with a Tele-Tach adapter, and for ground-engaging work that is a reasonable answer. But the adapter adds weight and a connection point at the end of a boom, where both matter most. A purpose-built telehandler grapple mounts directly to the carriage.
Which telehandlers does it fit?
Mounts are available for Cat, Skytrak, Gehl, Manitou, Genie and JLG. Give your make and model when ordering so the right mount is built.
Why is the tine spacing wider than a skid steer grapple?
6.25" against roughly 3". Telehandlers usually reach into larger demolition material, and wider gaps let fines and small rubble drop through instead of clogging the floor.
What does it weigh?
Haugen has not published weights for this range in the current price guides, so we have not listed a figure rather than estimating one. support@eskidsteer.com can obtain it from the manufacturer if you need it for a load calculation.
Does it need hydraulics?
Yes — an auxiliary circuit for the 2-1/2" x 10" grapple cylinders.
What size machine does it suit?
Work from your telehandler's load chart at the reach and height you will be operating at, not from its maximum rating. Capacity falls sharply as the boom extends, and a loaded grapple at full reach is a very different proposition from the same load at the carriage.
What tines does the telehandler grapple use?
1/2" grade 50 tines at 6.25" spacing — roughly twice the spacing of a skid steer skeleton grapple, which suits the larger demolition material a telehandler usually reaches into.
