What a Root Grapple Can Do That You Didn’t Expect

Beyond roots and brush, open-tine grapples can sort, sift, stage, rake, and position irregular material.

Root grapple handling irregular material

Beyond roots and brush, open-tine grapples can sort, sift, stage, rake, and position irregular material.

The gap between lower tines is a working feature: it lets soil and small material fall away while the upper rake holds logs, rocks, roots, scrap, and bulky debris.

What matters most

The gap between lower tines is a working feature: it lets soil and small material fall away while the upper rake holds logs, rocks, roots, scrap, and bulky debris.

Key considerations

  • Separate soil from roots
  • Sort rocks and demolition pieces
  • Rake bark and surface debris
  • Stage logs and limbs
  • Position large landscape material

Put it to work

Choose tine spacing around what should stay in the grapple and what should fall through. Use controlled curl and clamp pressure when positioning delicate or off-center loads.

The ANBO approach

ANBO offers multiple spacings, widths, and capacity profiles so the grapple can be configured around the machine and material.

Put the right attachment on your machine.
