Key Features & Benefits

• 1. Superior Strength & Durability: Constructed from high-tensile, abrasion-resistant steel (e.g., Hardox or equivalent), our grab buckets are built to withstand the most punishing environments and abrasive materials, significantly extending service life and reducing downtime.

• 2. Optimal Grabbing Efficiency: The carefully engineered jaw design ensures a full, deep, and secure bite every time. This maximizes fill rate, minimizes material spillage, and boosts overall cycle efficiency.

• 3. Multiple Actuation Types: We offer a range to suit your crane’s configuration:

  • Double Rope (Mechanical) Grabs: Simple, reliable, and cost-effective. Operates using the crane’s hoist and close ropes.
  • Electric Motor Grabs (Electro-Hydraulic): Self-contained and versatile. Features an internal hydraulic power pack, requiring only a standard electrical supply from the crane for precise, independent operation.
  • Hydraulic Motor Grabs: Ideal for applications requiring extreme power and speed. Powered by the crane’s hydraulic system.

• 4. Specialized Jaw Designs: We provide the right jaw for your material:

  • Clamshell Buckets: Perfect for free-flowing materials like sand, gravel, grain, and coal.
  • Orange Peel Grapples: Excellent for handling scrap metal, rocks, demolition waste, and irregularly shaped objects.
  • Timber Grabs: Designed with long, log-shaped jaws for safely and securely handling logs and biomass.
  • Rock Grabs: Reinforced jaws with special tips for penetrating and lifting heavy rock and aggregate.

• 5. Enhanced Safety Features: Safety is integral to our design. Features include secure locking mechanisms, protected hoses and cables (on motorized models), and a robust build that prevents failure and protects both personnel and equipment.

• 6. Minimal Maintenance: Designed for simplicity and ease of service. Sealed and lubricated bearings, easily replaceable wear parts (like tips and liners), and readily accessible components keep maintenance costs low and availability high.
