A practical machine-first process for selecting grapple class, capacity, spacing, width, mount, and hydraulics.
Horsepower establishes a starting class, but machine type, operating weight, traction, loader capacity, mount, bucket width, and primary work determine the final match.
What matters most
Horsepower establishes a starting class, but machine type, operating weight, traction, loader capacity, mount, bucket width, and primary work determine the final match.
Key considerations
- Machine and loader model
- Horsepower and operating weight
- Tracks or wheels
- Lift capacity and bucket width
- Material, tine spacing, and duty severity
Put it to work
After strength class is selected, choose standard or High Capacity geometry, spacing, overall width, mount, and hose configuration around the daily work.
The ANBO approach
ANBO reviews the complete machine and application so customers do not have to guess from a mount pattern or horsepower number alone.
