Stacker, Shiploader, Hopper, Bucket Wheel Reclaimer Manufacturer
A grab bucket is a bulk‐material handling attachment used on cranes to grasp and move loose materials such as coal, ore, grain, scrap, and sand. SKE Industries is a bucket grab manufacturer in China. We can offer different types of grabs like Mechanical Grab Bucket, Hydraulic Grab Bucket, Motor Hydraulic Grab, Remote Control Grab, etc.
A clamshell grab bucket is a type of material handling attachment used for grabbing and lifting bulk materials such as sand, gravel, grain, coal, fertilizers, and waste in ports and in-land terminals.
An orange peel grab bucket is a specialized hydraulic or electro-hydraulic material handling attachment used for grabbing, lifting, and transporting loose or bulky materials such as scrap metal, waste, stones, and industrial debris.
A timber grab bucket, also known as a log grab or wood grapple, or timber grapple, is a specialized mechanical attachment designed for lifting, loading, and handling timber, logs, and other long or bulky wooden materials.

Unlike hydraulic grab buckets, mechanical grabs operate without hydraulics or electricity, relying instead on mechanical linkages, ropes, or cables for their opening and closing mechanism of bucket shells.
A hydraulic grab bucket is a material handling attachment powered by hydraulic cylinders to efficiently grip, lift, and transport bulk or irregular materials, commonly mounted on excavators, cranes, and loaders
A motor driven grab, also called an Electric Motor Grab or Electro-Hydraulic Grab, is a fully self-contained material handling attachment designed to be operated by a crane with a single hook and no hydraulic system.
A remote control grab is an advanced material handling attachment designed for efficient loading and unloading of bulk materials, equipped with a built-in electro-hydraulic system that is operated wirelessly via remote control.
Grab buckets are extremely versatile attachments used across a wide range of industries wherever bulk or irregular materials need to be grasped, lifted, and relocated. Below are the most common application areas, with examples of how and why grab buckets are chosen over other handling methods.
Handle a broad range of materials—fine, granular, irregular, or bulk.
High cycle rates (up to 200–300 cycles/hr) with hydraulic/electro-hydraulic designs.
Mechanical grabs achieve fill factors >95%, reducing wasted lift capacity.
Enclosed shells and multi-fall configurations control dust and spills.
Quick-change jaw kits let you switch between clamshell, orange-peel, and log-handling on the same base frame.
