The hydraulically-powered, spring-and-hinge Sweep Action Tine Grapple (SATG) keeps the front rake of the sweep clamp open during use until the rear section of the clamp is either closed or contacts the material being handled. The cylinder then overcomes the spring pressure, causing the front rake to rotate towards the bucket in a sweeping motion moving material in and retaining it in the bucket. The SATG is available in three widths (72, 78, and 84 inches) and either open-tine and solid-bottom models.
