Grab Overhead Crane

A grab overhead crane is a lifting device equipped with a grab for capturing and moving bulk and piece materials. This equipment is actively used in ports, docks, freight stations, mines, and other industrial sites for handling coal, sand, gravel, logs, and minerals. Cranes of this type ensure efficient loading and unloading of any type of material except for fragile ones.

The grab overhead crane operates similarly to other overhead cranes. The main feature of the grab crane is its lifting mechanism. A grab (from German "greifen" - to grab) is an attachment for crane lifting equipment designed for capturing, reloading, and transporting bulk cargo, scrap metal, timber, etc., over short distances. The buckets (grips) of the grab open and close to capture and release the cargo, with their shape and size varying depending on the type of material being moved.

A grab for bulk cargo (bucket grab) works on the principle of immersion and cargo capture. To better capture the cargo, the grab jaws may be equipped with teeth.

A grab for loading and unloading long cargo (logs, pipes, etc.) is similar in design to a bucket grab but has jaws in the form of two claw-like grips.

Using grabs allows for fully mechanizing loading operations.

The "Gruzopodyom" plant offers two types of grab cranes:

• Special grab cranes, working with a two-jaw 4-rope grab.
• General industrial overhead cranes with a hook suspension, on which a suspended powered grab is attached. The drive mechanism on the grab can be either electric or hydraulic. Electrical power is supplied to the suspended powered grab via a cable reel located on the trolley.

Currently, we produce cranes with the following types of grabs:

- Two-jaw 4-rope
- Two-jaw motorized
- Two-jaw hydraulic

Grab cranes are equipped with safety devices such as limit switches, overload protection, parameter recorder, emergency stop buttons, signaling, and other optional features detailed in the "Additional Options" tab. This prevents overloading, crane tipping, and exceeding its safe operating range. The crane can be remotely controlled, increasing operator safety. Crane stability is ensured by an anti-sway system that maintains load stability during transportation.

The "Gruzopodyom" plant guarantees the high quality and reliability of the grab overhead cranes we produce. We offer solutions tailored to the individual needs of our customers. Contact our specialists to select the optimal equipment.

The equipment color may differ from the one shown on the website. By default, general-purpose overhead cranes are painted in a two-tone scheme: RAL 2004 and RAL 7024.
