The grappler was a piece of technology used on starships to move objects. The grappler consisted of a shaft with claws on one and a launcher.

In 2151, the Enterprise used the grappler on various occasions. These occasions included snagging a Suliban ship, attempting to recover Shuttlepod 1 from a comet, and again to recover a shuttlepod from a Klingon hijacker. (ENT episodes: "Broken Bow", "Breaking the Ice", "Sleeping Dogs")

In 2156, the Enterprise used the grapplers on a M'klexa vessel in order to pull it to safety. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: To Brave the Storm)
