As a core equipment in material handling, grab bucket EOT cranes are widely used in ports, docks, mines, metallurgical plants, cement factories, waste treatment centers, and power plants. They excel in handling materials such as coal, minerals, sand, gravel, grain, scrap steel, garbage, and biomass, making them indispensable for bulk material-intensive industries.

Grab Bucket EOT Crane Parts

Three Phase Induction Motors: EOT cranes widely use three phase induction motors, which provide stable and powerful driving force for the operation of the crane, ensuring smooth lifting, lowering, and movement of the grab bucket.

Grab Mechanism: Composed of grab jaws, connecting rods, and driving devices, it is specially designed to clamp, hold, and release various bulk materials. The jaws are made of high-strength wear-resistant steel to withstand the friction and impact of materials.

Electrical Control System: Includes controllers, contactors, and buttons, which coordinate the operation of motors, hoists, and trolleys. It enables precise control of the crane's speed, direction, and grab action, ensuring safe and efficient work.

Girders: There are single girder and double girder options. The single girder is a box-type or I-beam structure, lightweight and cost-effective, suitable for medium and small load operations with shorter spans. The double girder, consisting of two parallel main girders, has higher rigidity and load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for heavy-duty operations and longer span working conditions.

FAQs

What is the working principle of grab bucket crane?

Grab bucket EOT crane operates by using a bucket that opens and closes to scoop up and release bulk materials. The crane lifts the open bucket, lowers it onto the material, closes the bucket to grab a load, lifts the filled bucket, transports it, and then releases the material at the designated location. This process is typically powered by hydraulic or electric systems that control both the lifting and the opening/closing of the bucket.

What is a grab bucket in the crane?

A grab bucket is a specialized tool used with cranes for efficiently handling dry bulk materials like sand, coal, and scrap metal. It consists of two or more bucket-like jaws that open and close to scoop up and release materials. This allows for high-volume loading and unloading with minimal manual labor, making it a common tool at ports and industrial sites.

What materials can a grab bucket EOT crane handle?

Grab bucket EOT cranes are specifically designed for bulk materials, including ore, grain, coal, sand, gravel, scrap steel, and garbage. Their grab buckets (clamshell or orange peel types) enable efficient opening and closing actions, making them ideal for rapid loading, unloading, and transferring of loose or granular materials in ports, mines, warehouses, and other industrial sites.

Maintenance and Care

  1. Daily Inspection: Focus on grab-specific components - check jaw plate wear, hinge pin tightness, and grab opening/closing flexibility. Also inspect chain/rope wear , track cleanliness, brake system sensitivity, and electrical wiring to ensure all EOT crane components are free of looseness or damage.
  2. Regular Maintenance: Lubricate grab hinges, rotating components, and tighten bolts weekly; calibrate limiters and adjust transmission tension monthly; inspect grab jaw plates for deformation, metal structures for corrosion, remove rust, and paint quarterly; arrange annual comprehensive testing by professionals, focusing on grab drive mechanisms and core crane components.
  3. Basic Precautions: During maintenance, disconnect power and post warning signs, especially when servicing grab hydraulic/pneumatic systems. Maintain detailed records, replacing worn grab parts with qualified spares promptly.
