Amulet Hoemate Rake For Excavators and Backhoe Loaders
Turn Your Thumb into a Grapple in Minutes
The Amulet HoeMate Rake is a rugged, multi-tine rake designed for construction, demolition, and land-clearing operations. Built to replace your standard bucket, the HoeMate works seamlessly with any rigid, mechanical, or hydraulic thumb to form an instant grapple, without the cost of a dedicated clam or “orange peel” grapple. With options up to 80,000 lb. machines and configurations for every application, the HoeMate makes quick work of rock placement, brush removal, log handling, waste transfer, and even extreme demolition jobs. Engineered in the USA with T-1 and AR400 steel, it’s a low-maintenance, high-strength solution that delivers lasting performance.
