Grabbing at every opportunity

摘要

One of the problems grab manufacturers face is that the global fleet of small to medium-sized mobile rope jib cranes, which represent a significant percentage of their market demand, is aging. Maintenance costs are increasing in order to meet safety regulations and the traditional makers of this type of crane are switching to other products as crawler mounted-type articulated boom designs, based on construction type excavators, take over this segment. Greater efficiency The greater efficiency of these designs cannot be overlooked. A Mantsinen rail-mounted machine, for instance, discharging coal from barges to a hopper at a Vattenfall power station in Denmark, regularly averages over 1 000t/h.
