Class 200 Grapple Bucket for Wheel Loader – Paladin

Overview

This Paladin wheel loader grapple bucket is a Class 200 grapple for wheel loaders, with a hydraulic jaw that holds what an open bucket drops. It is offered in 3 capacities and 4 side designs, weighing 2,250–4,100 lbs across 14 SKUs. It is supplied for a Class 200 coupler mounting, confirmed against your machine at order.

Key Features of This Paladin Wheel Loader Grapple Bucket

• Dual hydraulic cylinders operate independently, so the jaw clamps evenly on uneven loads.
• Four upper-jaw styles: full side moves small and fine material, half side is lighter for medium material, cut away sheds bulky loads faster, and grapple rake lets soil fall through while holding brush and roots.
• Optional arm screening for maximum material retention.
• 3 size options: 2.00 YD, 2.25 YD, 2.50 YD.
• 2,250–4,100 lbs across 14 SKUs.
• Often searched for as a loader grapple bucket — same product, different trade name.
• Sometimes listed as a clamshell grapple, which is the term some regions use.
• Buyers also ask for this as a material handling grapple.
• Catalogued elsewhere as a hydraulic grapple bucket — the naming varies more than the product does.

Why Choose This Attachment

• A grapple holds what a bucket drops. Brush, scrap and demolition material roll straight out of an open bucket the moment the machine moves.
• Side design decides what you can carry. Full side keeps fines that a cut-away loses; cut away empties faster and weighs less. They suit different material, not different budgets.
• It needs third-function hydraulics. The jaw is powered, unlike every plain bucket in the range — and on a quick coupler you also need a jumper hose kit.

The Class 600 grapple is the heaviest in the range across six coupler standards, and for excavator work the hydraulic thumb grips using the bucket you already have.

Which Machines Fit This Wheel Loader Grapple Bucket?

This attachment fits Class 200 — confirm the mounting against your machine at order. Third-function hydraulics are required, plus a jumper hose kit on a quick coupler — the jaw is powered. At 2,250–4,100 lbs it is a meaningful share of what the machine lifts, so work from the loaded figure rather than the empty one.
