HEAD-TO-HEAD GRAPPLE COMPARISON

While specs are important when comparing different brands, there are differences in workmanship, design, & overall quality that translate to high productivity.  

• Ignite grapples are approved for use with compact track loaders and skid-steer loaders up to 75 hp.
• Ignite grapples utilize laser-cut steel and robot welding for consistency and unmatched strength.
• Brands like Jenkins, Skid Pro, and Titan rely on hand-welding techniques, which may introduce variations in quality and performance. 
• Comparable Blue Diamond grapples are limited to machines of 50 hp or less.
• Ignite’s 74" bucket grapple weighs 821 pounds, while Virnig’s 72" model weighs 1,080 pounds. The Ignite balance of weight and strength allows you to lift and do more.
• Ignite's 82" rock grapple weighs 920 pounds, while the Quick Attach 84" model weighs 1,164 pounds. The Ignite balance of weight & strength allows you to lift and do more.

 It’s important to have quality components on your grapples, including hoses and couplers, as these are some of the most vulnerable parts of a grapple. High-quality parts & materials, smart hose routing, and protective measures help prevent work stoppage due to broken hoses or damaged couplers. 

•  When you look at Ignite grapples, the commitment to user convenience is evident from the “connect under pressure” 90-degree couplers from Faster. 
• Full nylon sleeves to protect hoses from damage.
• Jenkins uses Stucchi brand couplers that do not connect under pressure. Spartan uses a straight coupler option and Titan uses a pipe thread and Teflon design. 
• Jenkins hose protection is virtually nonexistent with the lack of nylon sleeves. Quick Attach and Skid Pro partially cover their hoses. This leave's hoses exposed to jobsite wear and can lead to unnecessary downtime.

 The hydraulic cylinders of your grapple are essential items for using your attachment. They must be durable, and they need to properly protect against the materials and obstacles of the job. 

•  Ignite grapples excel with their impressive cylinder protection measures. With larger, more robust cylinders boasting a 2.5-inch bore and 3,500 psi.  
• Ignite sets the standard for cylinder protection when compared to these competitors that offer cylinders with a 2-inch bore.

 High-quality greaseable pins last longer, work better and make regular maintenance easier. 

•  Greaseable pins are a cornerstone of the Ignite grapple design, allowing for longer-lasting, better-performing attachments.  
• When comparing the cheaper pin options used on competitors’ products, such as Blue Diamond and Jenkins, it’s clear that Ignite outperforms.
