Blue Diamond Attachments added the HDX rock grapple bucket to its attachments lineup.
Engineered for skid steers and compact track loaders (CTLs) up to 75 hp or 3,000-pound lift capacity, the HDX rock grapple bucket joins the Blue Diamond series that includes the HDX root grapple and grapple bucket. The attachments are designed to grab bulky items in a single load.
The HDX rock grapple bucket, which spans 72 in. wide and 39 in. deep, offers a maximum opening of 32 in. It has dual top clamps constructed of 1/2-in. steel to clear debris and securely carry rocks, brush or logs. It can also be used as a land plane or for lighter clearing.
“For our customers who need a grapple attachment for their mid-duty machines, the HDX rock grapple bucket is the perfect fit, positioned to bridge the gap between our heavy-duty and severe duty models,” says Drew Truan, COO of Blue Diamond Attachments. “Like all our attachments, this new model can be depended on for its ruggedness and reliability for tough jobs.”
Another Blue Diamond development
Additionally, Blue Diamond has a new offering of convoluted broom wafers for sweeping and cleaning surfaces such as asphalt, gravel and concrete. Designed for use with skid steers and CTLs, Blue Diamond says the attachments provide up to a 40 percent longer lifespan than traditional flat rings due to their greater wear resistance.
“Our new broom wafers are designed for efficiency and optimal sweeping performance,” says Darren Barnes, director of products at Blue Diamond Attachments. “We’re confident they will help operators get jobs done faster with better results on a variety of surface conditions.”
