Grapple tines face soil, rock, roots, concrete, and off-center loads in the same workday.
ANBO specifies USA-sourced AR400F because the material must resist both abrasive wear and repeated shock.
A practical balance of properties
AR400F combines through-hardening with useful toughness and formability. Compared with common structural steel, it provides better wear life and can achieve the required strength without unnecessary bulk.
Key considerations
- Abrasion resistance at working edges
- Impact toughness for irregular loads
- Predictable forming and fabrication
- Strength-to-weight efficiency
- Consistent material across working tines
Why every tine matters
Loads do not stay on the outer edges. Using abrasion-resistant steel throughout the working tine group supports consistent wear and performance across the grapple width.
Ask where the premium steel is used
A material claim is most useful when it identifies the exact grade and components. ANBO’s grapple design uses AR400F where the attachment engages the work.
Put the right attachment on your machine.
