"Cat Claw" Three Dimensional Grab Fork
Response to this new product has been tremendous from field tests all over the U.S. People who've used it say their neighbors often want one, too.
The quick-tach grapple simply attaches to Westendorf buckets. It's powered by dual hydraulic cylinders that operate in unison off one hydraulic lever. Dual action pivot points allow the claw to reach out beyond the bucket like no other grab fork on the market. It actually packs loose material into the bucket, greatly boosting capacity. The dual pivot also allows the claw to open wider, freeing up the bucket for working up close against walls or the sides of bunks. (Julie Ellingson, Westendorf Manufacturing Co. Inc., P.O.
