Virnig | V40 Skeleton Grapple (SSL) (CTL)

Meet the Virnig V40 Skeleton Grapple (SSL) for CTL skid steers—designed to simplify debris cleanups and material handling on busy job sites. With independent jaws and a robust, open-bottom profile, it handles uneven loads like brush, logs, and scrap with steady precision.

• Independent dual-jaw design: Each jaw operates separately via its own hydraulic cylinder, delivering secure clamping on oddly shaped or uneven loads.
• Open-bottom, high visibility: The open underside and 8" tine spacing provide clear sightlines and let dirt fall through during pickup and transport.
• Rugged construction: Every tine is formed from a single piece of 1/2" Grade 50 steel for rigidity from tip to top brace.
• Powerful hydraulic system: Two 2" bore cylinders with an 8.375" stroke give strong, consistent gripping force across the full load.
• Wear-resistant components: NitroSteel® cylinder rods resist corrosion, dents, and flaking for long service life.
• Low-maintenance operation: Teflon®-coated bushings and greasable 1 1/4" diameter pins simplify lubrication and upkeep.
• Practical design details: Removable bolt-on step, laser-cut for durability and easy access during installation and use.
• Universal mounting ready: Includes universal skid steer mounting hoses, couplers & fittings; optional cylinder guard available for $95.00.
• Loader compatibility and fit notes: Specifically designed for CTL skid steers; be aware of a known clearance issue with John Deere G-Series loaders (330G–333G) when planning installation.
• Widths and weight by model: 66" model (overall 67.5" width, 36.9" depth, 26.5" height, 35.2" jaw opening, 8 tines, 780 lbs); 72" model (overall 73.5" width, same depth/height, 35.2" jaw opening, 9 tines, 815 lbs); 84" model (overall 85.5" width, same depth/height, 35.2" jaw opening, 10 tines, 860 lbs).
