The Grab Specialist B.V., designs and manufactures high-quality grab/bucket solutions. The company’s director started working with metal at 16 years of age when he joined his father’s company as a young man. At that time, most of the work was in repair and small metal works. At some point the first customer came asking for a grab repair. Having never done this before - but also not shying away from a challenge - this contract represented the company’s entry point into the world of grabs. Ever since then, grabs have been designed and manufactured based on customer requests or own ideas. Never shying away from a challenge has been key to the success of the company.
This is one of the reasons The Grab Specialist B.V.’s current portfolio includes robust mechanical, hydraulic, electro hydraulic and diesel grabs engineered for maximum efficiency, durability, and precision in bulk handling operations. Whether for ship-unloading, barge loading, stockpile management, or conveyor feeding, all equipment is designed to withstand the toughest working conditions while ensuring high productivity and minimal downtime. Cement clinker is one example of a particulary tricky material with the abrasiveness of the material and the dust that comes free when handling this cargo.
Depending on the project, The Grab Specialist B.V. executes the grabs with exchangeable turnable knives made of Hardox material to minimize downtime due to the abrasive material. When it comes to dust control, the grab is made using a fully enclosed design with dust covers, which is the best way to minimize dust emissions. Additionally, the company makes the knives with a special rubber sealing to prevent leaking.
Every grab is engineered to meet the specific requirements of a project. Size, weight, and material specifications can be fully customized, ensuring optimal performance for any bulk material handling challenge.
