Wheel Loader Clam Grapple Attachment – Built for Land Clearing and Demolition | Stinger Attachments

Video Overview

Overview

When you're running a wheel loader and need serious clamping power to handle logs, brush, demolition debris, or scrap metal, you need a grapple built to match the strength of your machine. The Wheel Loader CG-XD Clam Grapple from Stinger Attachments delivers heavy-duty performance with the kind of design details that matter in real-world operation. Distributed nationwide by Forge Claw with shipping calculated at checkout, this clam grapple is engineered for operators who demand reliability, durability, and the versatility to handle a wide range of materials without switching attachments.

The CG-XD isn't just another clam grapple. It's built with independent grapple cylinders, an enclosed back, and a greaseable pivot shaft that keeps things moving smoothly even after thousands of cycles. Available in three widths—86", 96", and 107"—this attachment gives you the reach and capacity needed for everything from timber work to land clearing to recycling yards. Whether you're loading logs onto a truck, moving debris at a demolition site, or clearing brush on a large property, the CG-XD gives you the control and power to get it done faster and safer than manual methods ever could.

One of the standout features of this grapple is the 60-inch maximum jaw opening width. That's a massive bite that lets you grab oversized logs, bundles of brush, or large pieces of scrap without having to reposition or make multiple passes. The independent grapples mean each jaw operates separately, giving you better control over irregular loads and uneven material. You're not forcing both jaws to close at the same rate—each one adjusts to the shape of what you're handling, which means better grip and less chance of material slipping out mid-lift.

Stinger Attachments designed the CG-XD with a universal quick attach carrier and an interchangeable bolt-on mount system. That means you're not locked into one machine or one coupler configuration. If your fleet runs different loaders or you upgrade equipment down the line, this grapple can adapt. It's the kind of forward-thinking design that saves you money and headaches in the long run. You won't need to buy a new attachment just because you switched machines.

The enclosed back is another feature that separates this grapple from cheaper alternatives. It keeps material from sliding out the rear when you're transporting loads across uneven terrain or lifting at height. You maintain better control, reduce spillage, and improve job site safety. It's a small detail that makes a massive difference when you're moving unstable loads like brush piles or mixed demolition debris.

Forge Claw is proud to distribute Stinger Attachments products because they're built by people who understand what operators actually need. This isn't equipment designed in a vacuum—it's built based on feedback from contractors, loggers, and land managers who use grapples day in and day out. The greaseable grapple pivot shaft is a perfect example. It's a simple maintenance point that extends the life of your attachment and keeps it operating smoothly. Regular greasing prevents wear, reduces friction, and ensures consistent performance even in harsh conditions.

The CG-XD is backed by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty, which speaks volumes about the quality and durability Stinger Attachments builds into every unit. You're not buying a disposable tool—you're investing in a piece of equipment that's designed to handle years of demanding work. From the welds to the hydraulic cylinders to the mounting plate, everything is engineered to stand up to the forces a wheel loader can generate.

If you're a contractor handling site prep, a tree service professional managing storm cleanup, or a landowner clearing acreage, the CG-XD gives you the capability to tackle jobs that would otherwise require multiple pieces of equipment or a full crew. You'll save time, reduce labor costs, and improve productivity across the board. And because Forge Claw offers shipping calculated at checkout, you can get this grapple delivered to your door without worrying about freight costs eating into your budget.

This attachment shines in applications where you need to move large volumes of material quickly. Think land clearing operations where you're pulling out stumps, roots, and brush. Think demolition sites where you're sorting and loading concrete, rebar, and mixed debris. Think logging operations where you need to stack, load, or move timber efficiently. The CG-XD handles all of it with the kind of confidence and control that lets you focus on the job instead of fighting your equipment.

The three available widths—86", 96", and 107"—give you options based on your loader's capacity and the type of work you do most often. Smaller widths are ideal for tighter spaces and lighter material, while the 107" model gives you maximum reach and capacity for the biggest jobs. No matter which size you choose, you're getting the same heavy-duty construction and thoughtful design that makes the CG-XD a reliable workhorse.

Benefits

Time savings on the job site translate directly to increased profitability. With the CG-XD Clam Grapple, you'll move more material in less time, reducing the hours needed for land clearing, demolition cleanup, or timber handling. The 60-inch jaw opening and independent grapple cylinders let you handle larger loads with better control, which means fewer passes and less repositioning. What used to take a full day can often be finished in a few hours, freeing up your equipment and crew for other projects.

Durability is where this attachment really pays off over the long haul. The greaseable pivot shaft and heavy-duty construction mean you're not replacing worn parts every season or dealing with hydraulic failures in the middle of a job. Regular maintenance is simple and straightforward, and the quality of materials and welds ensures that this grapple will handle years of hard use without breaking down. That reliability reduces downtime, lowers repair costs, and gives you the confidence to take on bigger, more demanding projects.

The versatility of the CG-XD means you're getting multiple tools in one attachment. Handle logs, brush, scrap metal, demolition debris, and more without switching equipment or making trips back to the shop. The enclosed back and independent grapples give you the control needed to manage different types of materials safely and efficiently. Whether you're sorting recyclables at a processing facility or clearing storm debris from a property, this grapple adapts to the task at hand.

Cost reduction comes from fewer labor hours, less equipment wear, and improved productivity. When one operator with a wheel loader and a quality grapple can do the work of a full crew with hand tools, you're looking at serious savings on every project. The universal quick attach carrier and interchangeable bolt-on mount also protect your investment by ensuring compatibility with future equipment, so you won't need to buy a new grapple every time you upgrade your loader.

Safety improvements are a real benefit when you're handling unstable loads like brush piles, scrap metal, or demolition debris. The enclosed back keeps material from sliding out unexpectedly, and the independent grapples give you precise control over how the jaws close and hold the load. You're reducing the risk of dropped loads, equipment damage, and injury to crew members working nearby. Better control and visibility mean you can operate confidently even in tight spaces or challenging conditions.

Additional Information

The CG-XD Clam Grapple is ideal for contractors handling site preparation, land clearing, and demolition work, as well as tree service professionals managing storm cleanup and logging operations. Landowners and property managers will find it invaluable for clearing brush, moving firewood, and maintaining large acreages. Recycling yards and scrap facilities benefit from the grapple's ability to sort and move mixed materials quickly and safely. If your operation involves moving irregular, bulky, or heavy materials with a wheel loader, this attachment will become one of your most-used tools.

Compatibility is straightforward thanks to the universal quick attach carrier and interchangeable bolt-on mount system. Before ordering, confirm your loader's coupler type and capacity to ensure proper fitment. Forge Claw's team is available to help you select the right width and configuration for your specific machine and applications. The three available widths give you flexibility based on your loader's lifting capacity and the type of material you handle most frequently.

Operating the CG-XD is intuitive for anyone familiar with hydraulic attachments. The independent grapple cylinders respond smoothly to control inputs, giving you precise control over clamping force and jaw positioning. Start with lighter materials to get a feel for how the grapple responds, then work up to heavier or more irregular loads. Keep an eye on your loader's hydraulic flow and pressure to ensure optimal performance. Avoid overloading the grapple beyond your loader's rated capacity, and always secure loads properly before transporting them across uneven terrain.

Maintenance requirements are minimal but important. Grease the pivot shaft regularly according to the manufacturer's recommendations to prevent wear and ensure smooth operation. Inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks or damage before each use, and check the mounting hardware for tightness. Clean debris from the grapple jaws and enclosed back after use to prevent buildup that could interfere with operation. With basic care and regular greasing, the CG-XD will deliver reliable performance for years.
