Product Overview

The Wood Chips Mechanical Grab is a specialized bulk material handling solution designed for loading, unloading and transferring large volumes of lightweight biomass materials.

Unlike conventional grabs designed for dense cargo, the Wood Chips Mechanical Grab utilizes an optimized high-capacity shell design that maximizes volume per cycle while maintaining efficient material retention.

Its robust rope-operated construction makes it suitable for continuous operation in biomass terminals, pulp and paper mills, renewable energy facilities and wood chip export operations where productivity and reliability are essential.

Suitable Materials:
  • Wood Chips
  • Biomass Fuel
  • Bark
  • Wood Pellets
  • Sawdust
  • Forestry Residue
  • Agricultural Biomass
  • Lightweight Bulk Materials
