Telehandler Bale Claw

Firm, secure bale grip for telehandlers
A 2m high-back frame and three conus-3 tines are sized for telehandler reach, carrying multiple loads safely at height instead of just on the flat. Heavy-duty construction means full-reach lifting doesn't become the thing that wears this fork out early.

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.

We've got your back

Q: Can Rata Bale Claws fit my tractor loader? A: Yes, although Rata Bale Claws are designed for telehandlers, Rata can build them for tractors looking to handle stacks of large round or square bales.
