Dedication to grabs

Verstegen specialises in the design and building of grabs. Our people are continuously working to develop and build the most efficient and cost-effective grabs. In addition to the standard product range, Verstegen also develops unique solutions for specific situations and customer needs.

Verstegen philosophy

For fast and efficient unloading, a grab is one of the most important tools. In order to get the highest capacity, the grab’s dead weight should be minimal. Furthermore, each grab should be custom built for the material it has to handle and the unloading situation in which it has to operate.

High capacities and low dead weights

In order to obtain the highest productive capacity, a grab should have the highest possible volume without unnecessary dead weight. This is only possible with a good and well proven design in combination with our use of high quality materials. To increase strength and minimise wear, each Verstegen grab is provided with scales, completely made of high tensile wear resistant steel. The friction in the articulation points is absolutely minimal because of an excellent bearing system.

A different grab for each bulk material

Each material has its own specific properties and a grab must be adjusted to these properties. A grab that will work perfectly for coal can have great difficulties handling iron ore.

Through extensive experience and know-how, Verstegen has developed a number of grab models, especially designed for common bulk materials (coal, iron ore, agribulk, fertiliser, phosphates, ..). In addition to grabs for the above materials, special solutions are available for other bulk materials with specific properties and behaviour.
