Virnig V20 Mini Skid Steer Rotating Log Grapple

Handle logs, brush, rocks, storm debris, and land-clearing material with greater control using the Virnig V20 Mini Skid Steer Rotating Log Grapple. Built for mini skid steer loaders, this compact rotating grapple attachment gives landowners, contractors, landscapers, arborists, and property maintenance crews the strength and precision needed for demanding material handling jobs.

Designed with a 60-inch grapple jaw opening and durable AR400 steel jaw tines, the Virnig V20 Rotating Log Grapple delivers serious holding power in a compact footprint. The freely hanging grapple jaw allows operators to approach logs, brush, and irregular materials from multiple angles, helping improve load balance and placement accuracy when working in tight areas.

This mini skid steer log grapple comes standard with 270° manual rotation, giving operators the flexibility to grab, lift, rotate, and place material without constantly repositioning the machine. For even greater control, an optional 360° hydraulic rotation upgrade is available. The serrated cradle design helps hold logs vertically or horizontally, while the bypass jaw design allows the grapple to securely grab smaller material down to 7 inches in diameter.

Built for daily use, the Virnig V20 Mini Skid Steer Rotating Log Grapple includes protected hose routing, recessed grease zerks, and a holding valve that helps prevent jaw drift during operation. Additional features such as the standard push bar, rope tie-off points, and receiver hitch add even more versatility for material handling, cleanup, and property maintenance tasks.

This attachment is available with multiple mini skid steer mount options, including Mini Universal, Bobcat® Mini, and ASV® Mini mounts. Note: This grapple is designed for mini skid steer loaders with less than 1,650 pounds of operating capacity and is not compatible with universal skid steer mounts.

If you need a compact, heavy-duty rotating log grapple for a mini skid steer, the Virnig V20 is built to give your machine commercial-grade grabbing, lifting, and placement capability for land clearing, tree work, firewood handling, storm cleanup, and landscaping applications.
