Modern Hydraulically Operated Grab Buckets

Category:

Dredge Plant

Description:

Four Rope Grab Buckets with high closing torque. A maintenance-free design with lifetime

lubricated roller bearings for the rope pulleys and guide rollers. Scoop and pressure rod pivot

points are equipped with manganese steel bearings. Completely closed covers are used to

minimize dust development, and a special scoop geometry optimizes bucket capacity.

Scissor grabs. Short closing stroke with two-strand reeving. The scissor principal increases lip

forces during closing.

q Dual-scoop, motor-operated grabs have kick or spill plates that provide a variable bucket

volume.

Single rope grabs - radio-controlled. Bucket is opened with either a ripping cord or by remote

control.
