Benefits

What Your Operation Gets Back

Zero Plastic Damage

Contoured Large-Surface-area Arms cradle bales securely without high-pressure hot spots, tearing, or stretching film.

Total Operational Efficiency

Great visibility through the frame, equalized arm motion, and slim arm design allows for tight bale stacking and moving fast without risking bale integrity.

Long-Term Durability

Heavy-duty frame geometry, greaseable high tensile pins and 50mm pipe arms means years of reliable seasonal performance.

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!”

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.
