Application of Grab Bucket Overhead Crane

Garbage Grab Overhead Crane

Garbage Grab Overhead Crane

  • Bridge: European Double Girder Overhead Crane
  • Spreader: Hydraulic Orange Peel Grab Bucket
  • Application: Garbage grab cranes are installed above garbage storage pits and are primarily responsible for feeding, transporting, mixing, picking, and weighing garbage.
  • Feature:
    • The garbage grab crane uses PLC, frequency converters, and position encoders for intelligent control, achieving unmanned operation through automatic detection, information processing, data analysis, and manipulation control.
    • The control system can utilize imaging technologies such as laser scanners to recognize material level heights, enabling high-level automatic material fetching, automatic feeding, and automatic parking functions.
    • The monitoring system can promptly alert users to the equipment’s status and warning information, allowing for quick and convenient adjustments of the hoisting mechanism’s speed and acceleration time at various gears. This helps prevent collisions between the grab and the pit wall, and ensures the grab’s anti-tilt functions.
    • In addition to full automatic control, manual and semi-automatic control options are also available.

Slag grab crane

Slag Handling Grab Overhead Crane

  • Bridge: Double Girder Overhead Crane with Two Sets of Hoisting Mechanisms
  • Spreader: Four-rope Mechanical Clamshell Grab Bucket
  • Application: The slag handling grab overhead crane is specifically designed for handling slag generated during the metallurgical process, such as grabbing slag from blast furnaces in steel mills or from phosphorus slag pools.
  • Feature: An automatic control system can be installed to enable the crane to have functions such as automatic slag grabbing, precise positioning, anti-sway, and automatic avoidance. The system can scan and identify the shape, position, and center of gravity of the transported objects.

Steel Scrap Grab Overhead Crane

Steel Scrap Grab Overhead Crane

  • Bridge: Double Girder Hook Overhead Crane
  • Spreader: Hydraulic Orange Peel Grab Bucket
  • Application: Used for grabbing, transporting, and handling scrap steel and other waste materials.
  • Feature: Strong grabbing force. The grab is hung on the hook and is detachable. The rated lifting capacity includes the weight of the grab.
