High-Performance Cargo Grabs for Demanding Port Operations

Cargo Grabs for Bulk Handling | Nectar Group

Port and terminal operators need cargo-handling equipment that can perform consistently in demanding environments. Nectar Group’s high-performance cargo grabs are designed to support efficient vessel loading and discharge, helping to keep bulk cargo moving while reducing operational delays.

Cargo Grabs for Bulk Material Handling

Manufactured from high-quality, wear-resistant steel, Nectar Group grabs are built for reliability, ease of operation and minimal maintenance. They are available in a wide range of volumetric capacities and can be used across a variety of ship and harbour crane applications.

Nectar cargo grabs are suitable for use with: ship cranes, mobile harbour cranes, static harbour cranes, ship unloaders, dry bulk handling systems, hoppers and mobile bagging units. 

The single-wire operating system makes the grabs suitable for most commonly used ship cranes. Their robust construction supports dependable performance during vessel discharge, quayside cargo transfer and other bulk-handling operations.

Nectar’s grabs are also used within the company’s own fleet for bulk discharge and bagging services, as well as being available for ad hoc rental requirements.

 

 

Suitable for a Range of Cargoes

Nectar cargo grabs can be configured for handling a broad range of dry bulk commodities, including: grains, fertilisers, aggregates and gravel, wood chips, nickel ore and iron ore, pellets and biomass. 

Adjustable kick plates are available to help adapt grab capacity to cargoes with different densities and to the lifting capacity of the crane in use.
