Grab Refurbishment & Overhauling
Restore grab performance, extend service life, and reduce replacement costs with Grippera refurbishment, repairs, and complete overhauling services.
What's included in our refurbishment service?
From urgent repairs to full grab overhauls, Grippera helps restore productivity without unnecessary replacement costs.
Structural repairs & shell rebuilding
Reinforce worn structures, replace cutting edges, and restore shell geometry to original working tolerances.
Hydraulic & mechanical overhauls
Rebuild cylinders, bearings, bushings, pins, sheaves, and drive components for reliable daily operation.
Upgrades & modernization
Integrate wear improvements, protection packages, hose routing upgrades, and service-friendly modifications.
Why Choose Grippera Refurbishment & Overhauling?
Choose refurbishment when the main structure is still sound, downtime needs to be limited, or replacement lead times are too long.
It is especially effective for older grabs that need a second life, OEM-equivalent parts, or reverse-engineered replacements for obsolete components.
OEM-level engineering review
Each project starts with an inspection of wear points, tolerances, and critical components so the repair scope is technically sound.
Multi-brand service capability
We refurbish Grippera grabs as well as many OEM and third-party grabs used in ports, recycling, scrap, and bulk handling.
Lower lifecycle cost
Refurbishment is often the fastest route to reliable performance without the lead time and budget impact of full replacement.
Documentation and transparency
You receive a clear refurbishment scope, recommended replacements, and practical advice for future maintenance planning.
What we refurbish
We refurbish entire grabs or targeted assemblies depending on wear condition, urgency, and budget.
Shells, lips & wear parts
Headblocks, hinges & linkages
Hydraulic cylinders & hoses
Rotators, motors & drive units

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about refurbishment, repairs, and overhauling
When is refurbishment better than buying a new grab?
If the main structure and geometry are still recoverable, refurbishment can restore performance at a significantly lower investment than full replacement.
Can Grippera overhaul non-Grippera grabs?
Yes. We regularly support multi-brand fleets and can assess many OEM and third-party grab types for repair, rebuild, or modernization.
Do you only repair damaged parts?
No. We can combine urgent repairs with preventive replacement of wear components, upgrades, and inspection-based recommendations.
Can you reverse-engineer discontinued components?
Yes. When drawings or OEM parts are no longer available, we can often work from samples, measurements, and wear patterns to recreate the needed part.
Do you provide a report before work starts?
Yes. We can prepare an inspection-based scope with recommended actions, estimated lead time, and pricing before refurbishment begins.
