Grab Type Ship Unloader

A grab ship unloader transfers dry bulk cargo from a vessel through repeated grab cycles. The grab collects material from the hold and discharges it into a receiving hopper or other shore-side handling system.

Selecting a grab type ship unloader manufacturer requires a clear description of the cargo and terminal interfaces. For a TianLi proposal, provide the material properties, required unloading rate, vessel dimensions and hold arrangement. Include the receiving conveyor capacity and berth layout. Grab selection, reach and the transfer cycle must be assessed together, with performance stated for the agreed material and operating conditions.
