A Valby grapple attachment allows compact excavators to be used for loading and material handling functions. This greatly expands the capabilities of the mini hydraulic excavator. The grapple will enable the user to move objects such as logs, rocks and refuse that do not fit well in a bucket attachment. The Valby grapples also enable the mini excavator to be used for such uses as feeding woodchippers and tub grinders. If your model is not listed, you can purchase a Valby Grapple and Rotator and equipped your machine.  More information on retrofitting a grapple and rotator on your equipment can be found here.
