Grabs

Clamshell grabs are used for normal free flowing bulk materials. Equipment Me has developed a range of grabs optimal designed for common bulk materials. For other materials with specific properties we have developed a number of special solutions.

OPTIMISED CLAMSHELL GRABS
Over the years Equipment Me developed a wide of range of clamshell grabs. In order to offer the most suitable grabs, we require information about the materials to be handled, the crane on which the grabs has to operate and your unloading situation.

HIGH PRODUCTIVITY
The purpose of a grab is to handle large volumes of bulk material in a fast and efficient way. A good design in combination with the use of high-tensile wear resistant steel as well as an excellent bearing system, makes it possible to design and build very strong grabs with relative low dead weights and high productive capacities.

RELIABLE AND DURABLE
In order to improve the strength and extend the lifetime, the shells of all Equipment Me grabs are completely made of wear resistant steel with a hardness of 450HB.

Equipment Me has a long history in building grabs for underwater operations. Different grab models are available for different operations.

DREDGING AND DIGGING GRABS

For underwater operations Equipment Me offers grabs for maintenance dredging (mainly silt and mud) and special grabs for digging operations (clay and hard ground layers). The grabs are available in two and four rope versions.

SMOOTH SHELLS

The inner side of the shells are smooth without any abrupt transitions. This minimizes resistance during digging into the bottom and also makes it easier to unload sticky materials, like clay and mud.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CUTTING EDGES (SHELL LIPS)

The grab’s lower lips can be delivered with contact lips without teeth. For hard layers and different to penetrate materials, we recommend lips with teeth. There are bottom lips with removable or exchangeable teeth and lips with permanent teeth (cut from the bottom lips). Permanent teeth (cut into the bottom lips) are very suitable for extreme hard layers.

It is an excavator attachment used for loading and transporting metal, plastic and similar scrap piles. Polyp attachments are suitable hydraulic equipment for processing bulk materials: scrap, urban waste, industrial waste, machine shop refusals, rocks, paper, cardboard, plastic, wood and tires. The RP range is a compact version of the rollers partially housed inside the buckets to reduce height; Polyp Attachments have vertical outer cylinders fixed on a strong structure. Guards and guards prevent damage to pipes and cylinders.

This product is designed and manufactured to be rotatable as well. All models can be supplied with a rotating device. The geometry of the teeth is optimized to stimulate penetration and collect as much material as possible. It meets every need and provides high performance with all materials. While steel works and cylinders are made of high quality and durable materials, the parts exposed to wear are made of wear-resistant steel.

In order to increase the attachment mobility. Pins and bushings are manufactured using heat-treated special steel for hardening to ensure long life and poor lubrication even under harsh conditions. It is used for loading and transporting metal, plastic and similar scrap piles in excavators. To increase the mobility of the attachment, it is one of our attachments that can be designed and produced with rotators.
