A hydraulic orange peel material handling grapple that is attachable to a boom stick on a material handling machine is used for recycling or material handling in grabbing odd shaped objects, unprocessed scrap and scooping up small items and shredded scrap. The grapple includes a central tower having at least four aligned upper and lower mounting ears circumferentially arranged equally distant from each other. A hydraulic cylinder with a ram is mounted to each upper ear. A set of at least four interchangeable pointed-shaped tines are provided for grabbing the odd shaped objections and unprocessed scrap. A set of four interchangeable flat-shaped tines that are used for scooping up small items and shredded scrap are also provided. Each tine has a cylinder ram mount ear on an upper portion of the tine for mounting the cylinder ram and an uppermost mount distal from the tine tip for pivotally mounting the tine to one of the lower frame mounting ears. The cylinder ram mount ear of the flat-shaped tine is closer to the lower tine pivot ear on the tower than the cylinder ram mount ear of the pointed-shaped tine is to the lower tine pivot mount ear.
