ORANGE-PEEL / IRREGULAR MATERIAL

Multi-Petal Scrap Grab Bucket

Curved tines close around long, irregular pieces that a two-shell bucket may not capture consistently. Choose a multi-petal grab from the actual scrap stream: piece size, density, temperature, sharp edges and target cycle all change the useful fill. Rope-operated and electric arrangements have different crane interfaces and must be quoted separately.

01 / SPECIFICATIONS

Two six-petal examples with different drive arrangements.

The listed L4.2 and LD2 rows have the same nominal bucket volume but different handling arrangements and material loads. Keep each model's values together; verify the actual filled mass for your scrap.

Swipe to compare the complete selected-unit parameters →

Model	Arrangement	Crane rating	Bucket volume	Listed material per grab	Rope
L4.2	Four-rope, six-petal	5 t	1 m³	2.4 t	Ø16 mm
LD2	Electric, six-petal	5 t	1 m³	1.3–1.73 t	Ø19 mm

Material per grab is not the grab's self-weight. State your actual scrap density and fill behaviour, then confirm selected attachment mass and total suspended load.

Rope and outline data for these configurations

Model	Rope / sheave arrangement	Outline dimensions
L4.2	Ratio 4; Ø400 mm sheave	H 2,517 / D 2,400 mm
LD2	Ratio 4; Ø260 mm sheave	H 1,941 / D 2,650 mm

H and D are outline labels. Use the approved unit drawing for installation clearances, opening width and building work.

Will a bigger nominal bucket always move more scrap?

No. Long and irregular pieces leave voids between the tines and may project outside the bucket. Use representative material photos and a realistic fill estimate, then check the heaviest loaded grab against the crane.

02 / APPLICATIONS

Capture irregular scrap without treating it like grain.

Steel-scrap yards

Choose tine profile and wear protection for plate offcuts, rebar and irregular fabricated pieces. Include temperature and sharp edges in the brief.

Recycling plants

Handle mixed ferrous pieces where a clamshell may trap air and give unpredictable fills. Specify any non-ferrous fraction before considering a magnet alternative.

Furnace charging preparation

Load sorted scrap into bins or transport equipment while checking opening width, heat exposure, discharge position and operating cycle.

A magnet is a different solution for compatible ferrous loads; multi-petal grabbing can handle mixed shapes, but the material and crane duty decide which system is appropriate. Compare the matching crane system.

03 / CONFIGURATION

Choose the attachment around the actual lift.

Match tine geometry and drive method to the scrap actually handled, including the largest pieces, sharp edges and working temperature. Use a realistic fill estimate and the selected grab's self-weight when checking the crane's total suspended load.

01 / TINE SHAPE

Match the scrap stream

Choose the number, profile, opening diameter and tip protection around the largest pieces and expected wear.

Sharp edges and wear
Required closing force

02 / DRIVE METHOD

Specify rope or powered control

L4.2 and LD2 use different operating arrangements. Confirm the available crane drums, power, cable route and discharge control.

Four-rope interface
Electric supply
Open/close sequence

03 / LOAD CHECK

Use realistic filling

Calculate maximum scrap mass from sample loads and add the selected grab's own weight before approving the crane.

04 / DISCHARGE

Fit the receiving bin

Check open tine diameter and overall height against the bin, furnace-basket or vehicle receiving point.

Opening diameter
Discharge clearance
Operator sight line

Ask each supplier to quote the same material, crane interface, operating cycle and delivery boundary for a meaningful comparison.

07 / BUYER QUESTIONS

Questions to settle before buying.

Use these answers to prepare one technical and commercial brief for the selected unit.

Discuss this attachment

Are L4.2 and LD2 interchangeable because both show 1 m³?

No. They have different drive arrangements and listed material loads. Match the complete selected-unit configuration to your crane and scrap.

How do I calculate the working material load?

Send representative scrap density and piece dimensions, then estimate actual filling. The selected grab's own mass must also be included in the crane load.

Can one grab handle hot scrap?

Only after the maximum pickup temperature and duty are specified and a suitable design is confirmed. Do not treat an ordinary hydraulic or electric grab as heat-rated by default.

When is a round magnet better?

A magnet may suit compatible ferrous scrap with adequate contact and power protection. A multi-petal grab can collect irregular pieces, including mixed material, subject to the selected tine design.

How do I compare two prices?

Ask each supplier to state the same tine design, loaded mass, drive package, wear parts, controls, testing, packing and delivery boundary.
