grab crane

It was up this road that the heavy equipment had advanced - the drag cranes, grab cranes, bulldozers, tumbleb-ugs, scrapers, 'mule' trucks and fuel tankers.

Coal and other bulk cargoes can be discharged with two continuous ship unloaders and two gantry grab cranes, allowing for 5,000 tonne per hour throughput.

With its extensive transit sheds, warehouses and open storage, the docks are well equipped to handle bulk cargoes for which the batteries of high capacity grab cranes are invaluable.
