Grab Bucket

In maritime operations, the safe and efficient handling of bulk materials is a priority for operational success. one tool that significantly contributes to facilitating these tasks is the Grab Bucket. Manufacturers specifically design this equipment to scoop, transfer, and release bulk materials in port and ship operations.

A Grab Bucket is an attachment for cranes, facilitating the handling of bulk materials like coal, ore, grain, sand, and loose cargo. Operating through opening and closing mechanisms, these buckets efficiently grab materials, transport them, and deposit them in specified locations. They are indispensable in various maritime activities, from loading and unloading ships to dredging operations.

Products (Based on Drive Unit Model)

Mechanical Grab (Rope Grab)

The mechanical grab, commonly known as a rope grab, operates solely with hoisting wire ropes for its opening and closing mechanism, devoid of electrical or hydraulic systems. You can configure this grab with single, two, or four ropes. Depending on the crane, you can adjust it with different rope connections.

It comes in multiple types tailored for specific materials, such as the orange peel grab for irregular items, the clamshell grab for bulk materials like coal and grain, and the V-shaped grab for timber.

Remote Control Grab

The most popular grab type in the industry features a remote control for its hydraulic system. This enables efficient opening and closing, achieving up to 80% efficiency compared to electro-hydraulic/motor-hydraulic grabs at half the price.

It merges radio remote control technology with single rope grabs for handling bulk materials. Specifically designed for single-hook and ship cranes, it offers reliable performance and easy operation, opening at any position in the air.

Electro-hydraulic Grab (Motor Hydraulic Grab)

This grab handles the loading and unloading of bulk materials on ship cranes. It features electrical motors and hydraulic pumps, with opening/closing controlled by double-acting hydraulic cylinders. Accessories like cable reeling drums are required for use with ship cranes.

Manufacturers mainly design it to handle powder and bulk materials such as chemicals, fertilizer, and coal, making it widely applicable in ports, steel plants, and garbage treatment plants. Equipped with its hydraulic system, it ensures high performance, simple operation, and stability in various conditions.

Hydraulic Grab (Excavator Grab)

Hydraulic grab, intended for excavators, is a drive unit model available in clamshell, orange peel, and timber bucket types. It is ideal for foundation pit digging, mining, loading, gravel, clay, sand, and coal, and is particularly applicable in confined spaces.

Products (Based on Bucket Type)

• Clamshell Grab is ideal for handling materials such as minerals, sand, crushed and coal.
• Orange Peel Grab handles stone, pig iron, garbage, wood chips, and similar materials.
• Nickel Grab addresses issues in nickel mines like ore stacking, dropping, and cargo loss during loading and unloading, increasing efficiency by 50%. 
• Timber Grab is designed for loading and unloading logs, ideal for use in ports, forestry centers, and wood yards.
• Dredging Grab is made for underwater handling of mud, hard clay, iron sand, and rocks. They feature multiple seals to prevent the ingress of sand and water.
• Stainless Steel Grab, using a pneumatic system, is designed for handling corrosive materials in harsh environments, ideal for paper mills, distilleries, and chemical plants.
