Product Description
The Mechanical Orange Peel Grab is available in various configurations for handling scrap, rocks, household waste, wood chips, and other large or irregular materials. These robust grabs are available in both two-rope and four-rope versions and are also suitable for dredging operations.
Flexible Shell Configuration: The grab's shells can be configured with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 shells, depending on the materials to be handled. They can be open, partially closed, or fully closed, fully tailored to your specific application and material.
Tooth Points: The grabs can be equipped with integrated tooth points for maximum durability or with replaceable tooth points for easy maintenance and lower service costs.
Construction: The grabs are manufactured from high-quality wear-resistant steel grades for long-lasting performance under heavy conditions. Each component is designed for maximum reliability and minimal maintenance.
Two-Rope vs Four-Rope: The two-rope configuration is ideal for standard crane applications, offering a simple and reliable operation. The four-rope version is suitable for higher capacities and heavier loads, providing enhanced stability and precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a mechanical orange peel grab different from a hydraulic version?
Mechanical orange peel grabs operate with simple wire rope mechanisms without hydraulic cylinders, making them more reliable with lower maintenance costs. They are ideal for wire-operated cranes in ports and recycling facilities.
Does a mechanical orange peel grab operate on two ropes or four ropes?
Both versions are available. The two-rope configuration is ideal for standard crane applications, while the four-rope version is suitable for higher capacities and heavier loads with enhanced stability.
For which types of scrap is a mechanical orange peel grab suitable?
Mechanical orange peel grabs are ideal for light, mixed, and heavy scrap, rough iron, large metal components, household waste, rocks, wood chips, and other irregular materials. The configuration can be customized for your specific material type.
How long does a mechanical orange peel grab last with intensive use?
With high-quality wear-resistant steel construction and proper maintenance, mechanical orange peel grabs can last many years under intensive use. Optional interchangeable teeth further extend service life and reduce long-term costs.
What are the capacities for mechanical orange peel grabs?
Mechanical orange peel grabs are available in various capacities tailored to your crane type and material handling requirements. The optimal capacity depends on the number of shells (3-8), material density, and your specific application. We custom-build each grab to match your crane's maximum hoisting capacity.
