The double-flap grab bucket normally connects with bridge cranes and gantry cranes. It mainly consists of lifting wire rope, guide rope wheel, fixed pulley and upper bearing beam, movable pulley and lower bearing beam, support rod, bucket, etc.. And the two symmetrical flaps bucket are the main parts doing the open and close movement. The double-flap grab bucket lifting and lowering action is controlled by steel wire ropes. The opening and closing of the grab bucket control the retraction and extension of four steel wire ropes through an electric trolley system.
As mechanical equipment for material handling, it is usually used in places such as ports, docks, and mines. This grab bucket could perform the loading and unloading of a large amount of bulk materials. It is capable of grabbing all kinds of loose accumulations for loading, unloading, transportation, and other operations.
This type of double-flap grab bucket has mature technology. We manufacture the bushings at each hinge point with high-quality bearing steel. Also, the edge plate is quite thick, making the grab more durable and longer in its service life.
Because it can effectively adapt to materials of different shapes and sizes and has high working efficiency, it has a wide application range. We also provide customized designs to make it applicable to different crane equipment types to achieve a better and ideal lifting task.
The double flap grab bucket is widely used in various industrial environments. For example:
Bulk cargo loading and unloading port terminal: Used for loading and unloading of ships and vehicles in ports, such as grabbing bulk cargoes such as coal, ore, sand, grain, fertilizers, and salts.
Thermal power plants: Double-flap grab buckets are responsible for unloading coal from coal ships or coal trucks and supplying coal to coal storage yards.
Iron and steel metallurgical enterprises: Use a double-flap grab bucket to load, unload, and transport iron ore, pellets, coke, limestone, and other raw materials for iron and steel making.
Cement plant: grabbing limestone, clay, coal and other raw materials for production work.
Mines: Double-flap grab buckets are application to transfer and load ores, concentrates, or tailings with moderate particle sizes.
Large construction sites: Double-flap grab bucket in large construction grab sand, gravel, crushed stone, and other materials. It has sites with high grab efficiency, low cost, and reliable performance.
Inland river terminals and logistics hubs: widely used in regional bulk cargo transfer nodes for loading, unloading, and transshipment of bulk cargo such as grain, fertilizer, and building materials.
It can effectively grab irregular-shaped materials.
The double-flap grab bucket control system is relatively simple and easy to use.
Lighter weight, Compared with single-flab or multi-flab designs, the double-petal design features a simpler mechanical structure but also ensures sufficient grip.
The grab reaches more than 95%, which effectively improves work efficiency.
High adaptability, easy replacement, and can used in different lifting equipment.
The overall structure is simple, and the parts are highly standardized, making it easy to overhaul and maintain.
