Liebherr introduces SmartGrip – the evolution of bulk handling

SmartGrip provides a number of valuable advantages, including higher performance and zero overloads. The development of SmartGrip is based on recent turnover analyses in various ports around the world. The data showed that, on average, only 70% of the grab capacity is used. There are many factors why the grab is not operated at full capacity, including suboptimal grabbing angle and varying material density. For crane operators the estimation of the material density and the right grabbing angle may turn out to be a real challenge. As a result, ports are faced with less turnover [t/h] than expected.
