Power Machine Requirements
Consult the skid steer, track loader, or tractor Operator’s
Manual for its operating capacity, lift capacity, and
operating specifications. They will vary from unit to unit.
Do not exceed the rated capacities and specifications of
the skid steer or tractor. The SGC15 Series Claw
Grapples are designed to attach to skid steer loaders and
tractor loaders with the following requirements:
Front loader hitch type:
. . . . . . . .Skid steer quick attach, meets ISO 24410
Horsepower requirements . . 50 -135 hp (37 -101 kW)

WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Use a power machine of adequate size for the load being
carried. An undersized machine can roll over when raising
the loader arms due to high center of gravity.
•
Consult your power machine Operator’s Manual for
operating capacity, lifting capacity, and operating
specifications. Exceeding rated capacities and
specifications can result in loss of control, roll-over or other
serious hazard.
•
Lightweight power machines may need weight added to the
rear to maintain steering control and prevent forward and/
or side tipping. Consult your power machine Operator’s
Manual to determine proper weight requirements and
maximum limitations.
Torque Requirements
Refer to
“Torque Values Chart”
on page 27 to determine
correct torque values when tightening hardware.
