Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 2-rope mechanical rock grab?
A 2-rope mechanical rock grab is a crane attachment that uses one rope system for lifting and another rope system for opening and closing the clamshell shells. It is commonly used for bulk materials such as stone, sand, gravel, and scrap.
What is a 4-rope mechanical grab?
A 4-rope mechanical grab is designed for cranes with separate lifting and closing rope systems. It is generally preferred for heavier materials, higher capacities, and intensive port or mining operations.
Can NG manufacture custom mechanical rope grabs?
Yes. NG Attachments can customize mechanical grabs according to crane specifications, material density, capacity requirement, shell design, rope arrangement, and working conditions.
Are mechanical rock grabs hydraulic?
No. Mechanical rock grabs are operated by crane ropes and do not require hydraulic power, electric motors, power packs, or control cables.
Which materials can be handled with mechanical rock grabs?
Mechanical rock grabs are suitable for rock, stone, ore, gravel, aggregates, scrap, heavy waste, and other abrasive bulk materials.
