The HCN HN14 Log Grapple Fork is a excavator buckets & grapples designed for installation on Excavators. It is manufactured at HCN Attachments' ISO 9001:2015-certified facility in Xuzhou, China, and supplied to contractors, rental fleets, OEM partners, and equipment distributors in more than 60 countries. When sourcing excavator bucket, rock bucket, excavator grapple, hardox bucket, sorting grapple, digging bucket, demolition grapple, custom excavator bucket for export or fleet replacement, verify carrier weight class, hydraulic output, and mounting interface before order confirmation — HCN provides free compatibility checks on request.
HCN excavator buckets, rock grapples, sorting grapples, and demolition equipment are precision-fabricated from Hardox wear steel — from standard digging buckets and heavy-duty rock buckets to tilt-rotate buckets and multi-tine sorting grapples. Available in custom widths, capacities, and tooth systems for all major excavator brands from 1-tonne mini-excavators to 100-tonne mining machines.
Available model designations: HN1403. Specification values in the table below apply to the listed model range. If your carrier falls outside the published weight class, contact HCN engineering with the machine make, model, operating weight, and pin-to-pin dimensions — custom bracket fabrication is typically available within 15–30 working days.
HCN HN14 Log Grapple Fork units leave factory with CE conformity documentation, operator manual, and QC records. Standard in-stock configurations ship within 7–15 working days; custom specifications require 15–30 working days. Export terms are quoted FOB Qingdao or Shanghai unless otherwise agreed. Submit an RFQ with your machine model, working conditions, and destination country for pricing, lead time, and bracket fit confirmation.
The HN14 Log Grapple Fork is specified on the following project types. Each application below reflects real field use — not generic marketing claims.
On this type of project, the HN14 Log Grapple Fork reduces cycle time compared with manual methods by allowing the operator to work from the carrier cab. Mass earthmoving and site cut-and-fill on residential, commercial, and civil construction projects
On this type of project, the HN14 Log Grapple Fork reduces cycle time compared with manual methods by allowing the operator to work from the carrier cab. Hard rock excavation in quarries, open-pit mines, and tunnel face excavation
On this type of project, the HN14 Log Grapple Fork reduces cycle time compared with manual methods by allowing the operator to work from the carrier cab. Sorting and loading recycled demolition material, scrap metal, and mixed debris at processing sites
On this type of project, the HN14 Log Grapple Fork reduces cycle time compared with manual methods by allowing the operator to work from the carrier cab. River dredging, ditch cleaning, and slope grading for drainage and land development works
On this type of project, the HN14 Log Grapple Fork reduces cycle time compared with manual methods by allowing the operator to work from the carrier cab. Timber and log handling at forestry operations and sawmills using rotating grapples

Bucket profile and steel grade determine service life in abrasive conditions. Specify based on material type — not just capacity.
| Selection Criteria | Digging / GP Bucket | Rock Bucket |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | Wide, curved — efficient soil scooping | Narrow, reinforced — impact and abrasion resistant |
| Steel grade | Hardox 400 standard | Hardox 400/500 with thicker cutting edge |
| Best application | Clay, sand, mixed soil earthmoving | Quarry, hard rock, demolition debris |
| Procurement note | Lower unit cost for general earthworks | 2–3× longer wear life in rock — lower TCO |
Structural steel (S355/Q345) buckets have lower upfront cost. Hardox wear steel buckets are specified when abrasive material causes replacement cycles shorter than 12 months.
| Method | Manual / Conventional Approach | HCN Attachment |
|---|---|---|
| Typical use | Standard structural steel bucket — lower purchase price, 2–3× shorter wear life in rock and quarry conditions | HCN Hardox 400/500 bucket — higher initial cost, 2–3× longer wear zone life, replaceable bolt-on cutting edges |
| When to specify | Specify Hardox when digging rock, gravel, demolition debris, or when bucket body replacement cost exceeds 40% of Hardox upgrade premium over 24 months | |
When reviewing Excavator Buckets & Grapples for a purchase decision, these parameters determine whether the unit will perform on your site:
The HCN HN14 Log Grapple Fork is engineered for Excavators within HCN's rated weight and hydraulic output range. Send your exact carrier make, model, and pin-to-pin dimensions for a free compatibility confirmation before order placement. OEM-fit brackets are available for Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Volvo, Doosan, Bobcat, and 30+ brands.
Hardox is a wear-resistant steel manufactured by SSAB Sweden, with hardness values from 400–600 Brinell (HBW). Buckets made from Hardox last 2–3× longer than buckets made from ordinary structural steel (S355 or Q345) when digging rock, gravel, or demolition debris. HCN uses Hardox 400 as standard across all product lines, and Hardox 500 for extreme-wear rock bucket and quarry applications.
Yes. HCN fabricates custom excavator buckets in widths from 400 mm to 3,000 mm to match specific trench widths, ditch profiles, and operator requirements. Custom bucket orders require a drawing approval process (typically 3–5 days) and a production lead time of 20–30 working days after approval.
HCN buckets are fitted with GET adapters compatible with Caterpillar J-Series, Komatsu PC-Series, and ESCO Ultralok tooth systems as standard options. Custom adapters for other GET systems are available on request. This means you can continue to use your existing teeth and adapters without purchasing proprietary HCN consumables.
Digging buckets have a larger, curved profile for efficient soil scooping — ideal for general earthmoving in clay, sand, and mixed soil. Rock buckets are narrower, built with thicker steel, have fewer and stronger teeth, and a reinforced cutting edge — designed for hard rock where impact resistance is critical. HCN's heavy-duty general-purpose bucket with Hardox sidebars is a good compromise for mixed conditions.
