Avnix Offers Two Kinds Of Root Grapples Heavy Duty And Demolition Grade.

Heavy Duty Grade Root Grapple Buckets make it feasible to ergonomically move unwieldy, hard-to-handle materials safely with no trouble .  When it comes to tree removal or clearing land for paving and construction, they are ideal for loading and stacking logs, limbs, branches and brush.  The design of the grapple bucket itself allows dirt and sand to fall to the ground while larger pieces of wood, rubble, and debris remain in the bucket.  The grapple tines on the end of the bucket curve upward to prevent contents from spilling onto the ground.  The curvature of the tines also has another important benefit.  It prevents utility lines and cables from being snagged during trash cleanup and tree removal after storms.

Root rake grapple buckets are idea for land clearing. Their capacity to dig up tree roots that are still in the ground and carry them away helps clear areas around buildings quickly and efficiently.  They are excellent tools for clearing away debris after demolition work has been done.  Excess construction debris can be swiftly removed with grapple buckets.  In areas where storms have devastated foliage, they are essential tools in the cleanup of storm debris.  Root grapples are also a very important core of landscaping projects.  They are used from everything from clearing out brush to placing mulch.

Avnix root rake and grapple buckets offer a number of benefits that make them reliable, rugged tools for tough construction and cleanup operations.  For one thing, they are constructed with hydraulic cylinders that allows the bucket flexibility to adjust itself to the diameter, circumference, and uneven weight distribution of awkward and unwieldy loads.  This prevents the grapple rake from becoming top- heavy and creating a safety hazard, and it helps lengthen the life of the root grapple bucket.  To further diminish wear and tear on the grapple bucket, hydraulic cylinders, hoses, and fittings are protected with covers.

All pivot points are lubricated with grease zerks to maintain flexibility and avoid stress to moving parts.  To house an optional bolt-on-blade, cutting edges are punched so the blade can be fitted securely to the root grapple bucket.  Extra tines can be added if the space between existing tines is too small.  This is often done when moving piles of trash or in landscaping work where a large amount of leaves, twigs, and other small trash items have to gripped firmly to  spillage.

Demolition Grade Root Grapple Buckets Make Heavy-Duty Work Faster and Safer. If you are fitting a root rake bucket to a “track” style skid steer, 70hp or greater skid steer, or skid steer rated at or above 3,500 lbs., we recommend you invest in a demolition grade unit.  Demolition grade units feature cylinder hoses routed in an enclosed tube.  This built-in covering offers much needed heavy duty protection for fittings in commercial applications.

Demolition grade grapple rakes offer larger capability for uneven and enormously heavy loads with reinforcement gussets, and dependable performance is guaranteed by heavier part manufacture throughout. Root grapples on  buckets open wide for full loads.  The bottom of the bucket is reinforced by steel plate ribs measuring ½” thick.
