Grab

A grab is a type of mechanical device used for lifting and handling bulk materials, typically consisting of two or more jaws that can open and close to grasp objects. It is commonly employed in construction, mining, and shipping industries for moving heavy loads such as sand, gravel, coal, and scrap metal. Grabs are often attached to cranes, excavators, or other lifting equipment and come in various designs, including hydraulic grabs, which use hydraulic cylinders for operation, and mechanical grabs, which rely on cable or chain systems. The design of a grab allows for efficient and secure handling of loose materials, making it an essential tool for enhancing productivity in material handling operations.
