Thank you for choosing “SOLLY”, our team will wholeheartedly provide service for you. For your safety and
efficient use of this product, please read the operation manual carefully prior to use.
The radio remote control grab is a new energy-saving and high-efficiency product. We can easily control it via radio
waves to be opened in any position in the air. It is a best partner for the marine crane, bridge type container crane and
other restricted single-hook cranes.
It is not affected by heat, cold, dust, rain and other adverse environment; therefore, it has high productivity and can be
easily controlled and interchanged. It is currently one of the most popular products in the bulk cargo loading and
unloading market.
Features:
·It can be easily connected to the crane, only requiring to connect the crane rope to a single hanging ring on
the top of the grab.
· The hydraulic system has no active power and can work stably and reliably, with low requirements for
working medium (hydraulic oil).
·The operator work becomes simple and easy due to radio remote control.
· The grab volume can be adjusted according to the specific gravity of bulk cargo.
Special notes:
· The Crane Operating Safety Procedures must be followed when using the grab.
· Safety devices must be set for parts (such as hooks, shackles, etc.) connecting the crane and hanging ring
on the top of the grab.
· The battery in the grab can be recharged repeatedly, and the charger is supplied as an accessory.
· Radio waves of the remote control transmitter of the grab may cause interference to radio communication
equipment and navigation equipment.
· When the wire rope of the grab is replaced, the length of two finished wire ropes should be close to each
other, although we have set up two balancing devices within the grab.
· Internal threads in large nuts for connection and fastening of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder and
the sliding seat should adopt anticlockwise threads.
·Do not conduct high-current operations (welding, etc.) on the grab without permission. If necessary, please
promptly contact our after-sales service team to help you complete such work as soon as possible;
otherwise, we will not bear any responsibility for the resulting loss.

16.11 Fault: the piston rod of the cylinder jitters during recovery.
Description: when the suspended open grab is placed on the ground or goods pile, the wire rope of the
crane continues to descend, the mobile transverse jitters while sliding, the piston rod of
the hydraulic cylinder jitters during recovery, and the recovery speed is not uniform.
Fault causes and troubleshooting:
16.11.1 Fault cause: the large nut for connection of the mobile transverse and piston rod is loose.
Troubleshooting: tighten the large nut. If there is a clearance smaller than 15mm after
tightening of the large nut, a gasket can be temporarily used to fill the
clearance, but this is not suitable for long-term use. Completely eliminate
the fault during maintenance of the grab.
16.11.2 Fault cause: the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is subject to slight deformation.
Troubleshooting: replace the piston rod and upper end cover seal of the hydraulic cylinder.
16.11.3 Fault cause: the core of the one-way valve cannot slide down smoothly or the one-way valve
cannot be fully opened as a result of foreign matters.
Troubleshooting: if the problem cannot be solved by removing and cleaning the one-way valve,
replace the one-way valve. For replacement of the one-way valve, hydraulic
oil in the oil tank should be fully discharged. After replacement, refill
hydraulic oil according to the requirements of Clause 9.3 in the manual.
16.11.4 Fault cause: there are foreign matters between the piston and drum of the hydraulic cylinder.
Troubleshooting: remove the hydraulic cylinder and clear foreign matters. At the same time,
check whether the piston sealing ring, piston and drum are damaged. In case
of damage, replace them.
