Split-Top Tractor Power Claw

Benefits

What Your Operation Gets Back

Grips the Awkward Load Too

Independent split-top tines flex around uneven loads a rigid grapple would just push aside instead of holding.

One Claw, Two Load Types

Handles the tidy pile and the awkward one equally well, so you're not reaching for a second attachment.

Same Strength, More Flex

Carries the full 16mm AR450 steel strength of the standard range, just with a more forgiving grip.

The details

What makes it work

  • 01

    Independent Grab Movement

    The split top lets each grab move independently, wrapping around twisted logs, root balls and stumps for a firm grip that reduces slippage.
  • 02

    High Tensile & Braced Tines

    16mm AR450 abrasion-resistant steel tines are braced to prevent splaying, keeping their shape under the heaviest, most awkward loads.
  • 03

    Heavy Pins & Bushes

    35mm diameter main pivots with extra supporting bushes, and greasable high-tensile pins throughout, keep the claw tight and responsive for years.
  • 04

    Protected Hydraulics

    Rams are mounted at the rear, away from the working area, with hoses routed out of harm's way to prevent damage and costly downtime.
  • 05

    Full Clamping Force

    Pin geometry gives a large arc of movement with full clamping force throughout and a 1.3m opening, for safer loading of big, uneven material.

Expert advice

Tips from the Rata team

  • Each arm moves independently, so let the claw settle onto the load rather than forcing it square first.
Brad Ellis

Customer story

Proven in the paddock

Hear from the cropping farmers who put Rata equipment to work every day.

“The first fork we got nearly exactly 12 months ago went straight on the loader, and I think it was just under 200 hours before the crop was put in, purely on sticks.”

Brad Ellis, Cropping and sheep farmer, Goroke, AU

Common questions

We've got your back

Q: What's the benefit of a split top claw over a standard claw? A: Each arm can move on its own, so it grips irregular loads more securely.
