Next-generation clamshell grabs for higher efficiency and lower costs
At Nemag, continuous innovation is at the core of everything we do. Our goal is simple: help bulk terminal operators increase efficiency while reducing operational and maintenance costs. A strong example of this commitment is the development of our next-generation Nemag Clamshell Grab™.
This advanced grab is the result of close collaboration with our customers, combined with decades of in-house expertise and the use of state-of-the-art design and simulation tools. By carefully analyzing real-world operations and feedback, we have created a clamshell grab that delivers optimal performance while keeping both investment and lifecycle costs as low as possible.
The benefits are clear. Operators can expect high productivity thanks to an optimized design that maximizes payload and cycle efficiency. At the same time, maintenance has been significantly simplified. The grab can be fully assembled and disassembled using standard hand tools, eliminating the need for welding equipment and reducing downtime during servicing.
Ease of maintenance is further improved through smart design features. For example, the holding rope equalisers are easily accessible due to the open structure, allowing for faster inspections and adjustments.

In addition, the lower sheave box and girder feature a rounded, open design that minimizes the risk of material buildup around the pulleys. This not only improves reliability but also reduces spillage during operation, contributing to better environmental performance and cleaner working conditions.

Another key advantage lies in the use of high-quality, standardized materials and components. This ensures durability, consistent performance, and faster delivery times, while keeping costs competitive.
At the heart of the Nemag Clamshell Grab™ remains our proven synchronizing system. This system guarantees 100% symmetrical closure, reduces stress on the structure, and enhances digging performance: even in challenging bulk materials.
The result is a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution designed to meet the demands of modern bulk handling operations.
