Virnig | V50 Skeleton Grapple (SSL) (CTL)

The Virnig V50 Skeleton Grapple (SSL) for skid steers and CTLs is a two-jaw, independent-cylinder grapple designed to securely clamp uneven debris, brush, and logs in a skid steer bucket. Its open-sides, high-visibility design keeps your line of sight clear while you work. Independent dual jaws: Each jaw operates with its own cylinder, enabling secure, continuous pressure on irregular objects and preventing slippage during transport. 1/2" Grade 80 steel tines: One-piece construction from tip to top brace adds rigidity and long-term durability, even under heavy loads. Open bottom with 5 1/2" tine spacing: Improves visibility and lets dirt and debris fall through for safer, cleaner operation. 2" bore / 8.375" stroke NitroSteel® cylinders: High-performance cylinders resist corrosion, dents, and flaking for reliable clamping under tough job-site conditions. Greasable pins and robust hinge pins: 1.25" pins for cylinders and 1.563" hinge pins ensure smooth movement and serviceability. Teflon® coated bushings at pivot locations: Reduced friction and maintenance for smoother operation over time. Removable bolt-on step: Durable laser-cut steel with an aggressive pattern enhances accessibility and safety on your machine. Universal skid steer mounting hoses, couplers & fittings included: Ready-to-run package for quick installation and compatibility across compatible loaders. Width options: Available in 60", 66", 72", 78", 84", and 90" to match loader capacity and job requirements. Weight range: Approximately 815–990 lbs depending on width, aligning with loader capacity while maintaining balance and maneuverability. Designed for loaders with a recommended capacity greater than 1,500 lbs, the V50’s open-side design and independent jaws excel at handling oddly shaped loads—whether you’re piling brush, moving logs, or managing debris. The combination of NitroSteel® rods and precision Teflon bushings delivers dependable clamping force with low maintenance, even in demanding environments.
