Operating principle

When the grab contacts the ground, the mechanical latch advances through its sequence; the lifting motion then closes or opens the jaws.

Key features

  • Single-rope operation
  • Mechanical locking system
  • Low operating cost
  • Suitable for harsh environments

Applications

  • Ports
  • Bulk materials
  • Construction sites
  • Industrial plants
