The Konecranes Grab Unloader with Advanced Grab Drive (AGD) transfers solid bulk cargoes from the ship’s hold to the material handling system on the jetty or wharf. The cargo is unloaded with a mechanical grab that is operated by four wire ropes.
The Advanced Grab Drive (AGD) system uses four separate but identical winches for the grab ropes. Thanks to a free-running trolley and a simple reeving arrangement of the grab ropes, the Konecranes AGD Grab Unloader does not require separate trolley traversing machinery, traversing ropes or a compensating trolley.
