About this product
📘 Overview
The EZ Spot UR Double Pole Claw (EZ-0008) is a skid steer pole grapple rated for a 32-foot, 1,100 lb Class 1 pole, built for street lighting, fencing, pole barn posts and utility work. Two jaws close independently and in sequence, so the Double Pole Claw takes hold of a pole before it can roll, and rubber lining protects the pole on any material. Three choices build your unit. The base decides rotation: Double Cylinder Rotating Base for 127 degrees to the operator’s left, Fixed Non-Rotating Base for a simpler unit with nothing to maintain, or No Attachment Base if you already run one. Jaw inserts decide the minimum grip — without them the jaws close to 3 inches, with Small Jaw Inserts they close to 0 for thin posts and pipe. Then choose the wiring harness that matches your machine. It runs on 20–30 GPM at 3,000 psi.
⚙ Key Features of the Double Pole Claw
- Rated for a 32-foot, 1,100 lb pole — enough for utility poles, pole barn posts and fence posts set in concrete.
- Sequencing independent jaws — the two jaws close one after the other, which is what makes a one-operator pole set possible without a groundsman steadying the pole.
- Two 2" x 6" clamp cylinders, each developing 9,425 lb of breakout force.
- Rubber-lined jaws as standard — protects finished poles and allows use on any pole material.
- Grade 80 steel, core welded — a higher grade than the Grade 50 used on the bases.
- Jaws open to 14" and close to 3", or to 0 with Small Jaw Inserts fitted.
- Ships complete with hoses, flush-faced couplers, spring hose mount and wiring harness.
- Adaptable to excavators, wheel loaders, telehandlers and backhoes with a specialty bolt-on mount.
🔑 Why Crews Choose the Double Pole Claw
- Sets a pole with one person — the sequencing jaws and 127 degrees of rotation let the operator lift, rotate to vertical and place from the cab, removing the man from under the load.
- Pulls as well as sets — the same grip handles fence posts set in concrete, so one attachment covers removal and installation.
- Handles thin stock other claws drop — Small Jaw Inserts take the close-down from 3" to 0.
- Works on finished poles — rubber lining means decorative street-lighting columns are not marked in transit.
- Standard flow, not high flow — 20–30 GPM suits an ordinary skid steer auxiliary circuit.

Three selections build the part you receive:
- Attachment Base — Double Cylinder Rotating Base gives 127 degrees of powered rotation to the operator’s left; Fixed Non-Rotating Base has no moving parts to maintain and indexes manually through 90 degrees; No Attachment Base supplies the tool head alone, for operators replacing a worn head or adding a second head to a base they already own.
- Jaw Inserts — No Jaw Inserts leaves the standard 3" minimum close; Small Jaw Inserts close the jaws down to 0 for thin posts, pipe and small-diameter stock.
- Wiring Harness — nine options, described below.
Every EZ Spot UR rotating attachment needs a wiring harness to switch the base from the machine's auxiliary circuit. Nine options are offered so the harness matches your machine: Universal Skid Steer Wiring Harness for most standard machines; 14 Pin Wire Harness for Cat, Bobcat, Kubota, John Deere, Case, New Holland and Takeuchi machines with a 14-pin connector; 8 Pin Caterpillar/ASV/TEREX Harness for those three brands; Single Pole 7 Pin Bobcat Electrical Harness for 7-pin Bobcat machines; 7 Pin Intermediate Harness and Intermediate Tool Wiring Harness where a tool-side intermediate lead is needed between the machine harness and the attachment; Cigarette Plug In Universal Wiring Harness where no auxiliary electrical connector is fitted and power is taken from the cab accessory socket; Radio Remote Assembly for Telehandlers for telehandler installations run without a cab harness; and None if you already hold a working harness for this machine.
🔗 Bases and Harnesses That Fit the Double Pole Claw
The Double Pole Claw carries a 3" square female receiver, the common interface across the EZ Spot UR range. It fits the Double Cylinder Rotating Base and the Fixed Non-Rotating Base sold here, and a base bought for this claw will accept other EZ Spot UR tool heads with the same receiver later. Tool heads change by pulling one 3/4" pin.
🚜 Which Machines Take This Skid Steer Pole Grapple?
The Double Pole Claw attaches to skid steer loaders and compact track loaders equipped with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) system, including:
BobcatCaterpillarJohn DeereCaseNew HollandTakeuchiKubotaGehl
The machine must supply 20–30 GPM at 3,000 psi through an auxiliary circuit with ¾" flush-face couplings, plus an electrical connection for the harness. No case drain is required. Your working limit is your machine’s rated operating capacity minus the weight of the attachment and base. The Double Pole Claw can also be adapted to excavators, wheel loaders, telehandlers and backhoes with a specialty bolt-on mount.
Compatibility is determined by mount type, not brand — confirm your machine’s quick attach configuration and auxiliary hydraulic flow before ordering. Everything needed to confirm fitment is on this page — add it to your cart to check delivered pricing for your address.
Freight note: inspect the crate before signing the carrier’s Bill of Lading. Note any damage on the delivery paperwork at the time of delivery — that record is what supports a carrier claim.
❓ Double Pole Claw Questions, Answered
What size pole will the Double Pole Claw handle?
The Double Pole Claw is rated for a 32-foot, 1,100 lb Class 1 pole. The jaws open to 14 inches, which covers utility poles, pole barn posts, street lighting columns and fence posts within that rating.
Do I need the Small Jaw Inserts?
Only if you handle thin stock. Without inserts the Double Pole Claw jaws close to 3 inches, which grips a standard pole securely. Small Jaw Inserts take the close-down to 0 inches, which is what you need for narrow posts, pipe and small-diameter material that would otherwise slip through.
Can the Double Pole Claw pull posts as well as set them?
Yes. EZ Spot UR rates the Double Pole Claw for pulling poles including fence posts set in concrete, using the same sequencing jaw grip that sets them.
Which base should I choose?
The Double Cylinder Rotating Base powers the tool head through 127 degrees to the operator's left, which is what lets you pick a pole off a trailer and rotate it to vertical without repositioning the machine. The Fixed Non-Rotating Base does not rotate under power, has no moving parts to maintain, and can be indexed manually through 90 degrees. Choose No Attachment Base only if you already own an EZ Spot UR base.
Which wiring harness do I need?
Match the harness to your machine's auxiliary electrical connector, not to the attachment. Choose the 14 Pin Wire Harness for a Cat, Bobcat, Kubota, John Deere, Case, New Holland or Takeuchi machine with a 14-pin connector, the 8 Pin Caterpillar/ASV/TEREX Harness for those brands, or the Single Pole 7 Pin Bobcat Electrical Harness for a 7-pin Bobcat. If your machine has no auxiliary electrical connector, the Cigarette Plug In Universal Wiring Harness powers the attachment from the cab accessory socket. The Universal Skid Steer Wiring Harness suits most other machines, the 7 Pin Intermediate Harness and Intermediate Tool Wiring Harness add a tool-side lead, and the Radio Remote Assembly for Telehandlers covers telehandler installs. Select None if you already own one.
Will the Double Pole Claw mark a finished pole?
The Double Pole Claw comes standard with rubber lining on both jaws, specifically so it can be used on any type of pole including finished and decorative columns without marking the surface.
What hydraulic flow does the Double Pole Claw need?
The Double Pole Claw runs on 20–30 GPM at 3,000 psi through a standard auxiliary circuit with ¾" flush-face couplings rated to a 15 ksi burst pressure. A high-flow machine is not required.
How is the Double Pole Claw shipped?
Shipping is calculated at checkout — add the Double Pole Claw to your cart, enter your delivery address, and the freight charge is displayed before you complete the order. Lift gate service is available for residential deliveries and can be selected at checkout.
