Solution

METZEN developed a customised grab that ensures a complete seal through the combination of a high-strength cutting edge and a foam rubber gasket. The design prevents grain or debris from falling onto the quay or rail tracks, while allowing quick replacement of the seals—significantly reducing operating costs.

Result

This innovative solution provides a clean and efficient handling environment, lowers maintenance costs, and extends the lifespan of both the harbour crane and the rail system. The grab meets the highest standards of tightness and durability, setting new benchmarks in grain handling.
