The Grab Hook Dual-Purpose Gantry Crane is a versatile heavy-duty lifting solution manufactured by Henan Mine, featuring two independent lifting mechanisms on a single gantry structure—one equipped with a grab bucket for bulk materials such as coal, ore, sand, grain, and scrap, and the other with a standard hook for heavy individual loads including steel coils, machinery, containers, and structural components.

This crane combines the operational flexibility of dual-purpose design (eliminating the need for separate cranes) with the space efficiency of gantry configuration (U-type or L-type legs allowing trucks or rail cars to pass under), available in both single-beam (light to medium duty) and double-beam (heavy duty) constructions.

The grab bucket operates using a four-rope double-drum mechanism with dual motors (lifting + opening/closing), while the hook mechanism features standard electric hoist or wire rope trolley with variable frequency drive for smooth operation. Typical specifications include lifting capacity from 5 to 50 tons (grab) and 3 to 50 tons (hook), spans from 10.5 to 35 meters, lifting heights from 6 to 30 meters, grab volume from 0.75 to 5 cubic meters, working duty class A6 to A8, and ambient temperature range from -25°C to +45°C.s.

It is widely used in scrap yards, ports, bulk material storage, and industrial warehouses, improving efficiency and reducing equipment costs.
1.Core Applications – Grab Hook Dual-Purpose Gantry Crane Ports & Bulk Terminals – Uses grab bucket to unload coal, ore, grain, or sand from vessels and barges, while hook handles heavy equipment, containers, steel coils, and general cargo on the same dock without changing cranes.
2.Steel Mill Scrap Yards – Employs grab to transfer shredded scrap, slag, limestone, and coke, while hook lifts heavy scrap buckets, pig iron, furnace charging boxes, and DRI (direct reduced iron) for electric arc furnace feeding.
3.Power Plants – Handles coal unloading and stockpile management with grab bucket, while hook lifts heavy plant components such as motors, pumps, fans, and replacement parts for boiler and turbine maintenance.
4.Cement Plants & Quarries – Transfers crushed limestone, clay, gypsum, and clinker with grab, while hook lifts heavy mill liners, grinding balls, crusher parts, and maintenance equipment.
5.Foundries & Smelting Plants – Moves bulk sand, flux, coke, and scrap using grab, while hook lifts pig iron, alloy additions, ladles, and heavy molds for cupola or induction furnace charging.
6.Warehouse & Distribution Centers – Unloads bulk grain or fertilizer from rail cars with grab, then switches to hook for moving pallets, drums, heavy equipment, and finished product bundles within the same facility.
