Quicke’s new Unigrip L+ and XL+ next-generation bale grabs.
Front end loader and implement specialist Quicke has introduced the new Unigrip L+ and XL+ next-generation bale grabs, designed for users who need strength, efficiency, and soft handling in their daily tasks.
“We set out to create a bale grab that gives you both robustness and efficiency,” said Henrik Jöns-son, product manager implements at Quicke.
“This includes reinforced stress points and an adjustable back bale support, alongside other subtle design details to help get more work done, without compromising on bale quality.”
Fitted with an adjustable back support, with the option for a second assembly, the Unigrip L+ and XL+ allows users to grab and transport two bales at once, doubling productivity in the paddock.
Suitable for handling silage, hay, or straw, the L+ version can handle bales from 120 to 160cm, while the XL+ version can handle bales up to 190cm.
The manufacturer notes that one of the key features of the Unigrip L+ is its ability to handle bales softly while ensuring they are securely held in place, meaning bales can be transported without damaging or compressing them, so preserving the quality of silage, hay and straw at all times.
Fitted with the optional equalizer bar, synchronized arm movement gives it the same features as a two-cylinder bale grab.
Unigrip L+ and XL+ are equipped as standard with a pressure restrictor valve to protect the silage from compression, alongside preventing structural damages to the implement’s basic components.
Additionally, a load-hold valve for handlers with free return to tank on third service is offered to ensure a secure grip.
Unigrip L+ and XL+ are compatible with most agricultural loaders and handlers, while in early 2026, Quicke will launch the smaller S+ and M+ versions, completing the full Unigrip family to meet all round bale handling needs.
Already well known as a leading manufacturer of front-end loaders and having developed the first quick detach loader nearly 60 years ago, Quicke also builds a wide range of implements, including a wrapped bale-handling range with new and recently updated options.
