Wheel Loader Attachments – Improve Material Handling with the Right Equipment

The versatility of a wheel loader depends not only on the machine itself but also on choosing the right attachments for the job. The correct attachment can make loading, transporting and handling materials faster, more efficient and more productive.

Green Attachments offers wheel loader attachments for a wide range of professional applications, including the HDB High Dump Bucket for loading lightweight bulk materials and the LG Log Grapple for handling long logs and timber.

These attachments are suitable for demanding working environments such as recycling facilities, sawmills, forestry operations, agriculture, ports and industrial material handling. By selecting an attachment designed for your specific application, you can get more out of your wheel loader and improve everyday productivity.

HDB High Dump Bucket – Greater Dump Height and Efficient Loading

The Green Attachments HDB High Dump Bucket is designed for handling lightweight and bulky materials where high unloading capacity and increased dump height are essential.

Compared with a standard wheel loader bucket, the HDB High Dump Bucket provides approximately 1,500 mm of additional unloading height. This makes it easier to load high-sided trucks, trailers, containers, hoppers and storage bunkers without unnecessary machine movements.

Its high-capacity design helps operators handle large volumes of material efficiently, making it a practical solution for professional bulk material handling.

Applications of the HDB High Dump Bucket

The HDB High Dump Bucket is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Loading wood chips and biomas
• Snow removal and snow loading
• Handling peat and compost
• Loading coal and light gravel
• Recycling and waste management
• Handling lightweight bulk materials in agriculture and industry
  

Designed for Efficient Material Flow

The HDB High Dump Bucket features side-mounted tipping cylinders, leaving the inside of the bucket free from obstructing beams and components. This design maximises usable bucket volume and allows materials to move more freely during loading and unloading.

The open internal structure also helps reduce material build-up and sticking, particularly in cold winter conditions. This can make the bucket easier to empty, clean and maintain.

The HDB range is manufactured using high-strength S355 structural steel, with Hardox® HB400 wear-resistant steel used for the side and bottom plates and Hardox® HB500 for the cutting edge. A bolt-on cutting edge is available as an option.

With a range of bucket capacities and configurations, the HDB High Dump Bucket can be selected to suit different wheel loader sizes and material handling requirements.

The Green Attachments LG Log Grapple is designed for wheel loaders handling long logs and other elongated materials. It is particularly suitable for sawmills, the mechanical wood industry and recycling facilities where safe, controlled material handling is essential.

The LG Log Grapple allows operators to pick up, move and load long materials efficiently. Its optimised jaw kinematics support effective gripping and make loading easier in demanding working environments.

Typical materials handled with the LG Log Grapple include logs, timber, bars and pipelines, depending on their dimensions, weight and the selected grapple model.

Applications of the LG Log Grapple

The LG Log Grapple is suitable for a variety of professional applications, including:

• Handling and transporting long logs
• Timber handling at sawmills and wood processing facilities
• Loading and unloading timber
• Handling long bars and pipelines
• Moving long materials at recycling plants
  
  

Wear-Resistant Construction for Demanding Work

LG Log Grapples are manufactured using Hardox® 400 and Hardox® 500 wear-resistant steel to withstand demanding material handling operations.

The optimised jaw kinematics help operators grip and load long materials efficiently. For additional versatility, models with a hydraulic partial-fill flap are also available.

The LG range includes different models to suit various wheel loader sizes and material handling requirements. Selecting the correct model helps ensure that the grapple matches the machine and the materials being handled.
