HD Clam Grapple: Built for Strength, Speed, and Durability

THE PERFECT BLEND OF POWER AND PRECISION

When you’re working on land clearing, storm cleanup, or construction debris removal, you need more than just an attachment—you need a tool that’s tough enough to take on heavy loads, versatile enough to handle multiple applications, and engineered to last under extreme conditions. That’s where the Conserv Machinery HD Clam Grapple shines.

Designed for small to mid-frame skid steers up to 75 HP, the HD Clam Grapple combines raw power, heavy-duty construction, and operator-friendly design into one attachment that quickly proves itself as an essential piece of equipment.

Whether you’re a farmer moving logs, a landscaper cleaning up brush piles, or a contractor hauling away debris, this grapple gives you the muscle, control, and reliability you need to get the job done faster and with less effort.

Engineered for Power and Performance

One of the standout features of the HD Clam Grapple is its single grapple jaw design, which opens up to a massive 51 inches. This wide opening means you can handle oversized materials like full tree trunks, bulky brush piles, and large debris without needing multiple trips.

The grapple is powered by two 2x10 hydraulic cylinders, which work in tandem to provide consistent clamping force. This ensures that once you’ve got your load, it stays secure—even when working on uneven terrain or moving awkward, unbalanced materials.

Adding to its usability are integrated grapple stops, which allow the operator to use the grapple for back dragging. This makes it easy to smooth out surfaces, clean up leftover debris, and prep the ground after larger material has been removed. It’s a small feature that saves a ton of time and eliminates the need for switching attachments during cleanup.

In short, this grapple doesn’t just move material—it moves it smarter, faster, and more efficiently.

Heavy-Duty Construction You Can Count On

Durability is the hallmark of any Conserv Machinery attachment, and the HD Clam Grapple is no exception. Every component has been carefully engineered to withstand the abuse of tough job sites while minimizing wear and tear over time.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

• Bottom Tines: Made from ½-inch Grade 50 steel, these tines are reinforced for strength and paired with replaceable digging teeth. This means you can keep working in hard, rocky soil or with heavy logs without worrying about long-term damage.
• Grapple Arm: Built from 3/8-inch Grade 50 steel and reinforced with heavy wall pipe, the grapple arm provides maximum rigidity while keeping the attachment lightweight enough for mid-frame skid steers.
• Supports Underneath: To further extend the attachment’s lifespan, multiple under-strap supports have been added. These give the grapple the structural integrity needed for repeated heavy lifting.
• Replaceable Components: From the digging teeth to wear points, Conserv has designed this grapple to be serviceable, reducing downtime and keeping your investment productive for years to come.

With this kind of construction, the HD Clam Grapple doesn’t just handle jobs—it dominates them.

Built for Small to Mid-Frame Skid Steers

Not every grapple is designed with smaller skid steers in mind, but the HD Clam Grapple is optimized specifically for machines up to 75 HP. This ensures that operators can get all the benefits of a heavy-duty grapple without overloading their equipment or compromising stability.

Available in 60-inch, 68-inch, and 74-inch widths, this grapple gives you options to suit your machine size and the type of work you’re doing. Smaller operators may prefer the 60-inch model for maneuverability in tighter spaces, while those working in open fields or on larger cleanup projects will appreciate the capacity of the 74-inch version.

By offering multiple widths, Conserv Machinery makes sure you’re not forced to settle for “one-size-fits-all.” Instead, you get a grapple that matches your machine perfectly, improving efficiency and productivity on every job.

Versatility That Works Across Industries

The HD Clam Grapple isn’t just for one kind of work—it’s a true multi-purpose tool that brings value across a variety of industries.

Here’s where it excels:

• Storm Cleanup: After a storm, large branches and downed trees can create dangerous conditions. This grapple allows you to quickly and safely move debris, restoring access and clearing land.
• Forestry and Land Clearing: Moving logs, pulling stumps, and stacking brush becomes faster and less labor-intensive with the wide opening and secure grip of the grapple.
• Construction Sites: Keep job sites clear of waste lumber, scrap metal, and other debris that can slow down projects.
• Farming and Agriculture: Perfect for hauling hay bales, tree limbs, or clearing fencerows and ditches.
• Municipal and Public Works: Clear lots, ditches, and parks quickly after storms or during routine maintenance.

Instead of buying multiple attachments, the HD Clam Grapple gives operators one tool that can handle dozens of different tasks efficiently.

Operator-Friendly Design

Conserv knows that attachments aren’t just about raw power—they also need to make the operator’s job easier. That’s why the HD Clam Grapple includes features that improve usability, reduce fatigue, and increase jobsite safety.

• Wide Grapple Opening: Reduces the need for multiple trips, saving time and fuel.
• Replaceable Teeth: Simple maintenance keeps the attachment working like new without costly replacements.
• Grapple Stops for Back Dragging: Makes cleanup more efficient by eliminating the need to switch attachments.
• Balanced Weight-to-Strength Ratio: Ensures your skid steer performs efficiently without being overloaded.

These design choices reflect Conserv’s philosophy: build attachments that not only last, but also make work faster, safer, and easier for the operator.
