MECHANICAL GRAB

A mechanical grab is a type of device used for gripping and lifting materials in various industries such as construction, mining, and waste management. Unlike hydraulic grabs which rely on hydraulic power, mechanical grabs operate through mechanical mechanisms such as gears, levers, or cables. These grabs typically consist of two or more jaws or arms that can be opened and closed to grasp materials. The opening and closing motion is often controlled manually by an operator, although some mechanical grabs may have automated mechanisms. Mechanical grabs come in different designs depending on the specific application and the type of materials they are intended to handle. They are commonly used in scenarios where hydraulic power may not be available or where a simpler and more cost-effective solution is preferred. However, they may not offer the same level of precision and control as hydraulic grabs.
