New Solesbee’s Top Clamp Loader Rake for Sale

Do the Work of a Rake and a Grapple with One Attachment
A standard rake pushes and gathers, but it can’t pick anything up and carry it away. Solesbee’s Top Clamp Rakes add a hydraulic clamping arm across the top of the tines, so the same attachment that windrows brush can also grab the pile, lift it, and carry it straight to the burn area or chipper. Available from 85 to 120 inches wide for loaders in the 13,000 to 35,000+ pounds class, with the clamp arm running off your machine’s auxiliary hydraulics.

What It Does
The Solesbee’s Loader Top Clamp Rakes combine a tine rake with a hydraulic clamping arm that closes from the top — so the loader can grab, clamp, lift, and carry brush piles, stumps, and root debris rather than just pushing and gathering. Where a standard rake pushes material into a windrow, the Top Clamp Rake grabs the pile, lifts it, and carries it to the dump point or burn area without losing the load.

How It’s Built
Solesbee’s Top Clamp Rakes are available in widths from 85 inches (7 tines, 1,550 pounds) through 120 inches (9 tines, 3,650 pounds) for machines in the 13,000 to 35,000+ pounds weight class. Tine thickness runs 1.0 to 2.0 inches depending on the model. The hydraulic clamping arm extends across the top of the rake jaw and is driven by your loader’s auxiliary hydraulic circuit, clamping from above to secure brush, stumps, and debris piles for lift and carry. The tine-and-clamp combination allows both rake gathering (clamp open) and grab-and-carry (clamp closed) from the same attachment.

Who Needs the Top Clamp Loader Rakes?
Land clearing operations that need to move debris to burn areas or chippers — not just windrow it — use the clamp rake to grab the pile and carry it rather than pushing and re-gathering multiple times. Stump and root ball removal uses the clamp rake to grab the extracted stump and carry it to the disposal area without the stump rolling off during transport. Tree service and arborist operations with loader equipment use clamp rakes to grab brush piles from tree removal sites and carry them to chippers staged at the edge of the job.
