Ignite Attachments, a manufacturer of compact equipment attachments, adds to its growing lineup of direct-to-you products with three new mini grapple offerings. The new mini bucket, mini rock and mini rake grapples are available in 36- and 44-inch working widths. A dual interface ensures easy, hassle-free paring with any brand of mini track loader making this an ideal solution for rental centers and mixed-fleet landscape operations.
“When it comes to working in the tightest spots, more and more people are turning to mini track loaders or skid-steers,” says Trisha Pearson, business director for Ignite Attachments. “Ignite Attachments works to meet owners/operators where they are, not the pigeonhole our stagnant industry tries to put them in. We recognize the need for cost-effective mini solutions that are dependable, versatile and easy to use.”
Mini Bucket Grapple
Like the company's line of full-size grapples, the mini bucket grapple, and others in the new offering, feature a laser-cut Grade 50 steel design. This results in a tighter fitting attachment with a long service life. The mini bucket grapple strikes a balance between weight and strength, allowing operators to lift more and do more.
With a grapple opening of 26.6 inches and a minimum height of 22.1 inches, the Ignite mini bucket grapple easily maneuvers in tight spaces. The design puts the single 2.25-inch bore by 1-inch rod cylinder behind the bucket, rather than on top, for complete protection even in the most demanding applications. Combined with standard Faster flat-faced couplers and full-length nylon hose sleeves, this design feature minimizes unnecessary downtime and ensures a long service life.
Mini Rock Grapple
The mini rock grapple features many of the same base benefits. This includes Ignite’s exclusive dual interface. These brand-agnostic attachments easily pair with both mini Bob-Tach and CII machines thanks to a unique faceplate design, allowing for seamless integration with mixed fleets or new carrier investments.
The grapple opening on this offering is 25.9 inches with a tine spacing of 3 inches for effective rock and debris removal.
Mini Rake Grapple
The mini rake grapple features slightly wider tine spacing, 6.75 inches on the 36-inch model, which allows operators to remove debris with less soil disturbance. It offers a 36-inch grapple opening.
Greaseable pins and heavy-duty cylinder protection minimize downtime and offer increased service life in a wide range of applications.
“Compact equipment owners and operators are constantly looking for easier, more cost-effective ways to get the job done,” Pearson says. “Our lineup of mini grapples are reliable, cost-smart and productive no matter your carrier brand. They’re designed to stand up to the toughest challenges and, when they outlast your existing machine, they’ll easily transfer to your new model.”
