The details
What makes it work
-
01 35mm Pivot Pins
Heavy-duty 35mm high-tensile pivot pins, supported by bushes in the frame and arm, handle repeated clamping without slop, keeping arm action tight and smooth. -
02 Easy Grease Access
Grease points sit where you can reach them, including on the equaliser bar, so routine maintenance takes minutes and pins and bushes last longer. -
03 Greasable Equaliser Bar
A standard equaliser bar keeps both arms moving together for even pressure on the wrap, and it's greasable, so worn pins don't mean replacing the bar. -
04 Heavy Duty Build
Heavy-duty steel plate and reinforced gusseting resist flexing and twisting under pressure, giving a 2,100kg lift capacity for full-size wrapped bales. -
05 Protective Nudge Bars
Nudge bars align bales without damaging the wrap and shield your hydraulic cylinders, while keeping a clearer view through the frame than a full front shield.

Expert advice
Tips from the Rata team
-
Even microscopic tears or light-scuffs in silage wrap film caused during handling can allow oxygen micro-leakage—causing mould pockets that could ruin feed quality.
Customer story
Proven in the paddock
Hear from the cropping farmers who put Rata equipment to work every day.
“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.”

Common questions
We've got your back
Q: Can I use a Rata Bale Clamp on both a tractor loader and a telehandler? A: Each Rata Bale Clamp is built for a specific machine. This Tractor Bale Clamp suits tractor front-end loaders, and Rata makes a separate Telehandler Bale Clamp for telehandlers.
