GRAPPLE FORKS SPEC SHEET
Using the Skid Steer Mat Grapple is easy. First, attach it properly to your skid - steer according to the instructions. When you need to pick up equipment mats or other items, adjust the cylinder mount point to open the grapple wide enough to fit the item. Once it's in place, close the grapple tightly. You can adjust the opening and closing based on the size of what you're carrying. When using the grapple, make sure the item is centered between the tines for a stable grip. Don't exceed the 4000 lb. capacity, as it can damage the grapple and be dangerous. As for maintenance, regularly check the tines for any signs of wear or damage. Also, inspect the cylinder mount point and the top clamp to ensure they're working smoothly. Clean the grapple after each use to prevent dirt and debris from affecting its performance. If you notice any problems, stop using it immediately and have it checked by a professional.
