HYDRAULIC GRAPPLES

Gulfstream Services, Inc. (GSI) Hydraulic Grapple Systems provide high-performance subsea excavation, debris removal, and offshore recovery solutions for oil and gas, marine construction, and decommissioning operations. Engineered for durability, precision control, and heavy-duty lifting in harsh subsea environments, our hydraulic grapples support safe and efficient material handling, site clearance, and structural removal. Available in two sizes to meet varying lift capacities and operational requirements, GSI grapples deliver reliable performance for both shallow and deepwater offshore projects.

RELIABLE RECOVERY SOLUTIONS

GSI’s hydraulic grapple rental systems are designed to support efficient subsea site clearance, salvage, and material handling across offshore energy, marine construction, and decommissioning projects. Built for reliable performance in shallow and deepwater applications, these systems help operators improve safety, reduce downtime, and maintain project schedules. Our grapples can be used to perform subsea debris removal and recovery services of all types, including:

  • Toppled platform structure removal

  • Pipeline salvage

  • Boulder / rock / object removal

  • Cement mat recovery

  • Subsurface umbilical recovery

  • Riser / spar salvage

  • Chain and cable mooring system recovery

DUAL GRAPPLE SYSTEM

Our hydraulic grapples can be used individually or as part of GSI's patent-pending dual grapple system. The system consists of a spreader bar, two grapples, a double drum hose reel, and power pack. 

The spreader bar allows grapples to be positioned from 8’0” on center up to 32’0” on center. This system creates a more stable recovery system center point during the removal of long objects like platform legs, conductors, and pipelines 

BUCKET INSERTS

GSI can equip our hydraulic grapples’ jaws with excavation bucket inserts, capable of removing in excess of 5 cubic yards of mud line material per closure. Applications include access to below mud line exterior cuts, rock removal, cement mat recovery, and more.
