Product Features and Applications

Features：

1.Pure Mechanical Transmission with High Reliability

Mechanical grab buckets feature a core transmission system composed of mechanical components such as linkages, cranks, and pulley blocks. They do not require complex power units like hydraulic pumps, cylinders, or solenoid valves, which significantly reduces potential failure points. Even under harsh operating conditions—such as high temperatures, heavy dust, or humid environments—the purely mechanical structure effectively avoids common issues like oil leakage or electrical short circuits, ensuring stable and reliable operation.

2.Fast Response and High Operating Efficiency

The opening and closing actions of a mechanical grab bucket are directly linked to the crane’s hoisting mechanism. By simply paying in or paying out the wire ropes, the grab bucket can open and close rapidly, with no response delay. This direct mechanical linkage enables quick cycle times and greatly improves overall handling efficiency.

3.High Load Capacity and Wide Material Adaptability

Mechanical grab buckets are manufactured from high-strength alloy steel, with key load-bearing components strengthened through heat treatment to ensure excellent load capacity and wear resistance. Depending on operational requirements, the grab bucket can be designed in various configurations, such as two-shell or multi-shell structures. By adjusting the bucket capacity and gripping force, it can handle materials of different densities. The load capacity typically ranges from several tons to several tens of tons, meeting diverse operational demands.

4.Compact Structure and Easy Operation

With a simple and compact overall design, mechanical grab buckets are lighter than hydraulic grab buckets of the same specification. This effectively reduces the load on the crane and helps extend the service life of the lifting equipment. In terms of operation, the control logic is straightforward—operators can complete the entire grabbing process solely through the crane’s hoisting movements, significantly lowering operational complexity.

Applications​

Thanks to their high reliability, high efficiency, and strong adaptability, mechanical grab buckets are widely used in ports and terminals, mining operations, construction sites, steel and metallurgical plants, and grain storage facilities. They have become essential equipment for bulk material handling across various industries.

Product Details

The mechanical grab bucket is a bulk material handling device that operates through crane wire ropes and a mechanical transmission system to achieve opening and closing actions. With a mature structure and stable performance, it ensures reliable and efficient material handling operations. The grab bucket mainly consists of upper and lower cross beams, bucket shells, a linkage system, pulley blocks, and high-strength pins. All components are precisely coordinated to guarantee smooth and dependable grabbing performance.

The mechanical grab bucket is driven by the crane’s double-drum wire rope system and does not require an independent power source, resulting in a simple structure and high operational reliability. It can be accurately matched with various types of cranes, including overhead cranes, gantry cranes, and tower cranes. The bucket body and key load-bearing components are manufactured from high-strength, wear-resistant steel. Wear-prone areas such as the bucket lip and side plates can be reinforced or treated with wear-resistant materials to effectively extend service life. High-strength pins and self-lubricating bushings are used at all connection points to reduce wear and minimize maintenance requirements.

Mechanical grab buckets can be customized in type, capacity, and configuration according to material density and specific operating conditions, ensuring optimal compatibility with crane parameters. They are widely used in bulk material loading and unloading operations at ports, terminals, power plants, and mining sites.

What are the crane requirements for a mechanical grab bucket?
The crane should be equipped with a double-drum hoisting system or a multi-reeving wire rope arrangement. The crane’s rated lifting capacity must be sufficient to cover both the self-weight of the grab and its fully loaded weight, with an adequate safety margin..
A mechanical grab bucket operates through wire ropes and mechanical transmission to open and close, requiring no electric power or hydraulic system. It features a simple structure and low failure rate, making it especially suitable for harsh working conditions such as high dust, high humidity, and high temperatures.
Under suitable working conditions, mechanical grab buckets provide stable grabbing and reliable operation. They are particularly well-suited for continuous, high-frequency bulk material handling, offering high overall efficiency and low maintenance costs.
Typically, the following information is required: material type and bulk density, the crane’s rated lifting capacity, operating conditions, and the required opening and closing time.
