Blue Diamond Attachments has announced the launch of its HDX Series Grapples.

Blue Diamond Attachments has announced the launch of its HDX Series Grapples, a new addition to the lineup between their current HD and Severe Duty Grapples.

The new units are specifically designed for mid-sized skid steer loaders, CTLs and tractors up to 75 hp. The HDX Series includes both root grapples and grapple buckets, engineered to make easy work of land clearing, landscaping, debris removal and storm cleanup projects. Blue Diamond's HDX Series grapples deliver the performance and efficiency of a commercial grapple, all while saving you time and money, according to Blue Diamond.

A key advantage of Blue Diamond HDX Series grapples is the wide opening which allows the operator to grab bulkier items in one load. Uneven or awkward material are stable and secured by the independent acting top clamps that have commercial grade hydraulic cylinders for maximum clamping force, according ot Blue Diamond. The updated and heavier construction of the new series also means they can handle rugged use on mid-sized machines, making them a cost-effective long-term investment, according to Blue Diamond.

The HDX Series root grapples and grapple buckets feature enhanced design elements that take the overall performance and versatility of the attachments to new levels. These include:

• stronger cylinder protection covers;
• a fully welded cylinder for increased clamping force;
• thicker ¼ in. tubing in the frame weldment;
• pivot point grease fittings;
• enhanced hose protection; and
• dual top clamps for load stability.

"We added the HDX Series grapples to our full lineup to fill a gap in the market for a site cleanup attachment that meets the needs of contractors and landowners looking to work in that 75 horsepower range," said Drew Truan, chief executive officer of Blue Diamond Attachments. "We listened to those customers and developed this new series, so they had what they need, when they need it. We believe the HDX Series will become the go-to grapples throughout North America."

The new HDX Series open to 32 in., are 37 in. deep from front to back, and have 72 in. working width.

All Blue Diamond HDX Series grapples come with Blue Diamond's satisfaction guarantee and are backed by a one year warranty.
