Grappler Attachment
for Barges
Marine jobsites don’t always involve neat, packaged materials — they involve chaos, especially during demolition, disaster response, dredging, and heavy cleanup. That’s where the Grappler Attachment for Barges shines. Built for use with the Work Marine Mobile Marine Barge, this powerful claw-style attachment allows your team to grab, lift, sort, and demolish materials directly from the water.
Whether you’re handling broken concrete, timber, steel debris, or large natural obstructions like tree trunks, the Grappler provides the strength and control needed to turn messy conditions into manageable operations — all from a stable floating platform.
Grab It. Move It. Clear It.
Designed with hydraulic multi-tine jaws, the Grappler Attachment mimics the dexterity of an excavator bucket with the grip force of a demolition claw. Mounted to the barge’s crane and controlled via remote belly-box, it allows operators to grab materials both above and below the waterline — even in unstable or uneven terrain.
Key Features:
- Hydraulic, multi-tine claw design for gripping irregular or heavy debris
- Rotational capability for optimal positioning and sorting
- Quick Connect interface for rapid deployment
- Belly-box remote control for precise manipulation from the barge deck
- Built for marine demolition, cleanup, and bulk material handling
- Effective in both wet and dry environments
It’s not just a tool — it’s an extension of your crew’s capabilities, bringing human-level precision to jobs that are too big, too heavy, or too dangerous for manual handling.
Versatile Overwater Applications
The Grappler Attachment is one of the most versatile tools in the Work Marine lineup and is frequently used for:
- Demolition support – Removing torn-down docks, broken pilings, or partial structure remnants
- Dredging assistance – Pulling up large debris that’s too bulky for clamshell buckets
- Disaster response – Clearing fallen trees, collapsed materials, or flood obstructions
- Site prep – Moving riprap, logs, rocks, and brush from build zones
- Salvage and recovery – Lifting sunken objects, scrap, or refuse from waterways
- Recycling and sorting – Separating rebar, timber, or other deconstruction materials on floating platforms
Whether used for active demolition or follow-up cleanup, the Grappler is the go-to choice for handling irregular, heavy, or bulky debris.
Efficiency from the Water
Mounted to the Work Marine Mobile Marine Barge, the Grappler Attachment eliminates the need for land-based equipment, extra vessels, or dangerous overwater maneuvers. From a single, self-propelled platform, your team can:
- Transport the barge over the road
- Launch from a standard boat ramp
- Deploy a wide working deck (24’+)
- Operate heavy-duty crane attachments
- Swap out tools quickly as project phases change
This attachment transforms the barge into a floating demolition and cleanup station, capable of clearing work zones, stabilizing sites, and increasing productivity across all project types.
Built for Tough Work
Every Grappler Attachment is built at our 180,000 square foot facility, with marine-grade steel and engineering processes that stand up to the daily grind of jobsite abuse.
- ISO 9001-certified quality control
- ASME, AWS, and AISC-compliant welds and materials
- Corrosion-resistant fabrication for saltwater or freshwater use
- Hydraulic systems tested under full load cycles
Whether you’re handling demolition debris or pulling mangled steel out of the water, this attachment is designed to grab hold — and not let go until the job’s done.
Total Control in Heavy Lifting and Cleanup
The Grappler Attachment gives your marine operation the upper hand — literally. From demolition to dredging, salvage to sorting, it equips your team to lift smarter, clean faster, and handle chaos with confidence.
