Airpes has led the collaborative design of a grab for handling steel or aluminum coils in semi- and fully automated electric overhead traveling crane applications. The automation-ready grab, typically utilized to lift 25- to 60-ton coils, is a standard product but can be adapted to suit end-user requirements. Compatible with any crane in the steel and aluminum sectors, the grabs can be installed as a retrofit or part of a new build. The grab meets Crane Manufacturers Association of America duty classification D, E or F. In semi-automatic applications, specific features assist the operator but allow more manual control; fully automated cranes, useful in demanding environments, are programmed to repeat the lifting process without manual input.
