Four rope clamshell grab bucket is a kind of lifting equipment with excellent performance, which consists of bucket body, upper bearing beam, lower bearing beam, spreader bar and balance frame. Double flap means that there are two mutually symmetrical bucket bodies. Four-rope means that the work of the grab is controlled by four wire ropes, two of which are hung on the rope guide device (balance frame) on the upper bearing beam and are called support ropes; and the other two are connected with the wire ropes wrapped around the grab pulley block and are called closure ropes.

Features:
2.The double-flap design can be closed precisely to grip all kinds of materials tightly.
3.The overall structure of the grapple is lightweight and durable, with high gripping rate, high closing force and high material loading rate.

Difference between single-rope grabs, double-rope grabs and four-rope grabs:
Double rope grabs need to be equipped with customized double reels on cranes;
Four-rope grabs have an additional set of closing ropes and support ropes compared to double-rope grabs, which can make the structure of the grab more stable and less prone to spinning.
1. Grab down: the support rope lifts the grab to the appropriate position, and then drop the opening and closing ropes, the grab relies on the self-weight of the lower crossbeam, so that the bucket part of the lower crossbeam axis as the center of the bucket will be opened, when the bucket is opened to the two lugs of the plate and the collision block, that is, the bucket is opened to the maximum limit.
2. Grab grabbing material: after the grab is opened, the crane moves the grab to the top of the material to be grabbed, and then drops the support rope and the opening and closing ropes at the same time, so that the grab falls on the material. Then, the reel collects the opening and closing ropes, so that the bucket body of the grapple closes and grabs the material.
3. Grab rising: after grabbing the material, the reel lifts the support rope and opening/closing rope at the same time, and lifts the grab.
4. Grab unloading: after the grab is lifted to the unloading position, the reel drops the opening and closing ropes, so that the grab's bucket is opened and the material is unloaded.
