Benefits of the Wheel Loader Clam Grapple Severe Duty (CG-SXD)

Bring industrial-grade gripping power to demanding operations that require material handling or land clearing. The CG-SXD is designed for wheel loaders that tackle high-volume work. It combines an aggressive clamping force with independent arm control. Some of its features include:

  • Independent arm operation: Control each grapple in tandem and automatically independent to secure irregular loads — close one side tighter than the other when handling uneven brush piles or awkwardly shaped debris.
  • Powerful cylinder pressure: Deliver a crushing grip strength with 3,000 psi grapple cylinders, ensuring materials remain secure during transport over rough terrain.
  • AR200 steel construction: Withstand constant contact with rough materials, such as rocks and stumps, with an abrasion-resistant and lightweight steel.
  • Optimal tine configuration: Use a grade 80 tine with 10.5″ spacing to capture both large and small materials effectively, allowing fine debris to fall away naturally.
  • Enclosed back design: Prevent materials from sliding backward toward your machine, protect the wheel loader and enhance load security with a solid rear panel.

Applications for the CG-SXD

The CG-SXD thrives in heavy-duty environments where standard attachments struggle with material characteristics, weight or volume. Each 60-inch opening accommodates substantial loads that smaller grapples cannot manage, allowing you to complete the following:

  • Land clearing operations: Grab stumps and tangled brush in a single pass, then transport the materials to burn piles or grinding areas without multiple trips.
  • Logging support work: Move slash piles, sort logs by size and clean up processing areas where debris accumulates throughout the day.
  • Recycling yards: Sort and stack scrap metal, process wood waste and organize materials awaiting further processing or shipment.
  • Storm debris clean up: Clear fallen trees, broken branches and wind-scattered materials quickly after severe weather events.
  • Demolition sites: Separate and relocate building debris, concrete chunks and mixed materials during teardown projects.

The independent grapple control proves especially valuable when dealing with unbalanced loads — adjust each arm’s closing pressure to compensate for weight distribution and prevent shifting during movement.
