The details
What makes it work
-
01 2m High-Back Frame
A 2m high-back frame supports bales at full telehandler reach, keeping loads stable and protecting your machine from top-loading damage. -
02 13 Tines Keep the Bales Secure
Three heavy Conus 2 tines in base, and 5x conus 1 curved tines on each side give a firm, confident hold on bales, keeping them steady and secure when lifting to height. -
03 Excellent Tine Vision
An open frame keeps the tines and load in view from the cab, so you can line up and stack accurately without extra effort. -
04 Robust Construction
Heavy-duty construction means full-reach lifting doesn't wear the claw out early, giving dependable service season after season. -
05 Multi-Load Carrying
Sized for telehandler work, the claw carries multiple loads safely at height, so stacking and loading out take fewer trips.

Expert advice
Tips from the Rata team
-
Match the tine length to your bale size and machine, and keep the conus taper bush greased so the tines don't work loose over a season of daily use.
Customer story
Proven in the paddock
Hear from the cropping farmers who put Rata equipment to work every day.
“From past experience I have been impressed with the durability and simplicity of the gear.”
“We do about 4,000 individual wrapped bales per year, so its important to us to have Rata softhands to handle them, as they are really reliable, they don't break & are definitely the best brand we've ever used!
Because we've found Rata gear to be so reliable we also have multiple sets of their Bale Forks & Versatile Grapples as well!”
“We do about 4,000 wrapped bales a year. Rata Softhands are really reliable, they don't break, and they're the best brand we've ever used.”
“Because we've found Rata gear to be so reliable, we also have multiple sets of their Bale Forks and Versatile Grapples.”
“We've got two sets of Rata Softhands that have done 80,000 bales between them.”
“We decided to buy a third set because they're strong and reliable, and we haven't had problems with the other ones.”
“We've got about 15 Rata implements, from grabs, forks and buckets to a Maxitill and aerator, and we've had no issues with them at all.”
“Very happy with all the Rata gear we've got. I recommend them to anyone. Strong and reliable for doing big numbers.”
“These are our preferred bale grabs. Nice and thick, really strong, made tough. We do over a thousand bales a year.”
“It goes around and wraps the bale up, rather than going in and trying to squeeze the bale tight.”
“Perfect every time. No holes.”
“It's very easy to grease. It's got about six grease nipples, so you can grease it easily when you need to.”
