"Bridge crane with grab bucket" usually refers to grab bucket
overhead crane. This is a type of bridge crane that uses a grab bucket as a lifting device, and designed to handle bulk and loose materials such as coal, ore, sand, scrap metal, grain, or garbage. It is widely used in steel plants, power stations, ports, waste treatment plants, and mining industries where materials need to be grabbed, transported, and unloaded efficiently.
Key features and operation of bridge crane with grab bucket
Core Structure: Primarily composed of a box-type bridge frame, grab bucket trolley, trolley traveling mechanism, driver's cab, and electrical system. The biggest difference from ordinary hook bridge cranes is that the trolley of a bridge crane with grab bucket typically has both a hoisting mechanism and an opening/closing mechanism.
Grab Bucket Types: Based on the density of the material being grabbed, crane grab buckets are classified as light, medium, heavy, and extra-heavy. Common structures include clamshell grab buckets (for granules and powders) and Orange peel grab (for large pieces of ore, scrap steel, etc.).
Working Principle of Bridge Crane with Grab Bucket: Operated via four wire ropes. The opening/closing mechanism is responsible for closing and opening the grab bucket to grab or unload materials, while the hoisting mechanism is responsible for raising and lowering the grab bucket. During operation, the two mechanisms work together to ensure even stress on the four wire ropes, completing the work cycle of "lowering the bucket - closing the bucket - raising the bucket - opening the bucket".
