heel loader handling utility poles with a Dymax pole handling fork attachment

Pipe and Pole Forks with Grapples

FOR WHEEL LOADERS, BACKHOE LOADERS AND TELEHANDLERS

Dymax Pipe and Pole Grapple Forks are purpose-built for handling utility poles and drill pipe without rolling, shifting, or bouncing. With multiple carriage widths (72–120″) and tine lengths (54–96″), each fork can be matched to the load—single pieces, bundles, or long poles—for consistent, field-proven performance.

Engineered for your machine + application

DOUBLE GRAPPLE CLAMP

Heavy duty grapple with lower hydraulic stabilizer clamps. For wheel loaders.

SINGLE GRAPPLE CLAMP

Single grapple clamp with lower stabilizer and pallet fork base carriage. For loaders / telehandlers.

SLIDE LINK CLAMP

Slide link clamp with rubber padding. For backhoe loaders / telehandlers.

Wood Pole Applications

Key Benefits

  • Proven in the field: Pole and lumber companies trust Dymax forks, backed by responsive, real-world customer support.
  • Handles poles up to 125 feet long and 24 inch diameter
  • Extended 8-foot tine reach for efficient stacking and loading.
  • Strong clamping force reduces pole bounce allowing operators to stack and pile materials.
  • Reinforced clamp and frame can stand up to high-impact loads.
  • Mid to large wheel loaders.

Ideal For

  • Large utility pole yards
  • Telephone pole processing and staging

Pipe Handling Applications

Key Benefits

  • Lighter-weight build – ideal for smaller-diameter oilfield pipe.
  • Slide link clamp provides a smooth, consistent grip.
  • Sequence valve ensures the lower clamp engages first, locking the load before the top clamp applies pressure.
  • Rubber padding protects pipe and prevents sliding.
  • Optional full hydraulic clamp with lower stabilizers for extra control.
  • Perfect for telehandlers and backhoes.

Ideal For

  • Oilfield pipe yards
  • Ports and steel mills
  • Rail and river terminals with high-volume pipe unloading
