Handling sticky materials like nickel ore, wet bauxite, clay and wet iron ore can reduce productivity enormous and lead to dangerous situations. Below pictures show what can happen when handling these materials with standard grabs.
Please note these two grabs are not Verstegen grabs.

Most orange peel grabs are used for handling iron scrap. Scrap comes in different shapes and sizes. All these kinds of scrap result in different requirements for the optimal grab. We at Verstegen invest a lot of effort in optimizing our grabs for the best performance.

For one of our larger customers Verstegen developed special trimming grabs for handling coarse and difficult to penetrate materials. This solution almost doubled the unloading rate in comparison to the existing situation.
