INTRODUCTION
The crane grab (also known as a clamshell bucket or grab bucket) is an attachment used on cranes, hoists, or excavators for handling loose bulk materials. It features two hinged shells that open and close via a hydraulic cylinder or mechanical rope system. Grab capacities typically range from 0.1m³ to 10m³, handling materials from light grain to heavy ore. This versatile tool enables efficient grabbing, lifting, and dumping of bulk cargo without manual shoveling.
Product differentiation description
Mechanical type single rope grab bucket Mechanical type single rope grab bucket is suitable for the series cranes with the lifting drum (single hook), the opening and closing of novel structure, loading and unloading material freely open and close, This design is very easy to operate,and it can be used in underwater and ground operations. this grab bucket can open in the sky.
Mechanical type double rope grab bucket Double rope grab is suitable for double lifting device structure of all types of cranes, grab the loose deposits. Reliable work, convenient operation, high productivity, wide application, use and port, wharf, highway and bridge construction industry. They become the four rope grab with two sets of double rope, the working process and the double rope grab the same. It can become the four rope grab with two sets of double rope, the working process are the same.
Four Rope Grab Bucket with jaw plate The grab catching rate is about 95%~100% , it is minimal decreasing to loose the granularity materials when working.The bearing beam frame is shortened, Main point of liner material for bearing steel. Prolonging the service life of the 4~5 times,and the blade plate adopts the wear-resisting material which enhance the impact and friction level, the pulley multi-layer seal process,dust-proof, waterproof can underwater operations, the blade plate together gap clearance small, can achieve 0.3mm~1mm can keep clean, the hole structure the work place have strong shape not easily dislocation.
Electric clamshells hydraulic grab The Electric clamshells hydraulic grab open and close with hydraulic cylinders. The drive- unit for this is an electric motor with hydraulic pump. The drive- unit of the grab needs an electrical power- supply from the crane over a cable. Over this cable the grab gets also his commands. For the cable- guide is a additional equipment on the crane- jib necessary.
Electric Motor Grab Bucket using for crane Electric motor grab is using for all kinds of crane with their own open or close device, it can be load and unload material in any height. The working efficient and productivity is higher than the single rope grab, which is easy to operation, Apply to lifting height add the cable reel machine conveying energy. Note: this grab can’t operate underwater.
Motor Dual Scoop Hydraulic Grab Motor Dual Scoop Hydraulic Grab become open and close with hydraulic cylinders. The drive- unit for this is an electro- motor with hydraulic pump. The drive- unit of the Motor Dual Scoop Hydraulic Grab needs an electrical power- supply from the crane over a cable. Over this cable the grab gets also his commands. For the cable- guide is a additional equipment on the crane- jib necessary.
Timber grab it is mainly used for grabbing and handling logs, lumber, pipes, drums, objects of various specifications, can also be a single grab and a plurality of grab, with tower crane, the use of portal hoist crane. It is applicable to the log yard, port of discharge.
Straw bundle grab It is dedicated to a material handling equipment development power plant straw, loading and unloading, stacking storage, working mainly for straw bale. Working level high, adapting to the plant straw warehouse working environment moisture, dust, frequent use, uninterrupted work demand.
