BASKET TINE GRAPPLE

SKELETON GRAPPLE FOR DEMOLITION, LAND CLEARING, AND SITE CLEANUP

The Basket Tine Grapple separates debris from dirt as you load. Its tines close around broken concrete, brick, timber, and rebar while loose soil and fines drop through the gaps, so you clear the debris in one pass and leave the spoil in place.

This grapple fits 15- and 20-ton hydraulic excavators. Put it to work on demolition cleanup, land clearing, scrap sorting, and general site work.

MODELS: DX-GL-BSKT-360x48in-HX-15T, DX-GL-BSKT-360x48in-HX-20T
Your machine will require (2x) circuits for operation of the grapple (open and close) and the rotation system. 

CIRCUIT 1 – Grapple
Type: Two-Way
Flow: Max GPM / PSI – 15-20 / 3,000

CIRCUIT 2 – Rotator
Type: Two-Way
Flow: Max GPM / PSI = 8 GPM / 3,000

ALTERNATE CIRCUIT: If your machine does not have enough circuits, an Electro-Hydraulic Valve Kit + needle valves can be ordered. Requires installation on the cable harness. These are offered for 12 or 24-volt machines.  Kits are set up on grapples before shipping.  

NOT SUPPLIED: Not provided with jumper hose lines to the machine auxiliary lines.

MODELS: DX-GL-BSKT-TRQx48-HX-20T, DX-GL-BSKT-TRQx48-HX-15T

FAQ’S

It sorts and loads debris on demolition and construction sites — concrete, brick, timber, rebar, and scrap — while loose soil and fines drop through the skeletal jaws. You load clean material in one pass instead of hauling the dirt with it.
The tines, 11 per side on 4-inch spacing, close around the larger material and let smaller debris and dirt sift through the gaps. There’s no second step to separate spoil from the load.
It’s built for 15- and 20-ton hydraulic excavators. Need it on another machine class? Contact Dymax at 1-800-530-5407 — the grapple can be built to your machine.
It comes two ways. The tiltrotator version mounts to your tiltrotator coupler and runs on one hydraulic circuit. The 360° version turns on a twin-pinion drive and needs two circuits, one for the grapple and one for the rotator. If your machine is short on circuits, the 360° version can ship with an Electro-Hydraulic Valve Kit and needle valves for 12V or 24V machines, set up before shipping. Contact Dymax at 1-800-530-5407 for fitment assistance.
Yes. For hi-rail excavator fitment and rail right-of-way configurations, see the same grapple on DymaxRail.
