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

2.0 Structure Details (see Fig.1)

The radio remote control grab mainly consists of the following components:
① Grab head
② Mobile transverse
③ Transverse
④ Scoop
⑤ Pressure rod
⑥ Suspension
⑦ Hydraulic cylinder
⑧ Control system

One sheave block is respectively set in the grab head and mobile transverse. The control system consists
of the hydraulic control system and electrical control system and is arranged on the transverse.
The engaging tooth ends of four pressure rods are connected to hinge holes at two ends of the grab head
through pins and can rotate synchronously in the radial direction around hinge holes at two ends of the
grab head.
Hinge holes at two ends of the transverse are connected to two scoops via pins. The two scoops can rotate
in the radial direction around the two ends of the transverse via the head engaging teeth.
Two hydraulic cylinders are symmetrically installed on the two sides of the transverse and fastened by
bolts.
Both ends of the upper plane of the mobile transverse are equipped with taper holes which match the
tapered surface on the top of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder. The mobile transverse are fastened
and connected via large nuts.
The tail ends of four pressure rods are connected to hinge holes on side faces of two scoops via pins and
can rotate in the radial direction along the pins.
The two ends of the suspension are connected to the press end of the wire rope via shackles. The other end
of the wire rope passes through the sheave blocks in the grab head and mobile transverse and is finally
connected to two wedge sleeves in the middle of the mobile transverse. A lower suspension is set between
the two wedge sleeves for balancing.

3.0 Working Principle

3.1 Hydraulic Working Principle

One working cycle of radio remote control mainly consists of four stages.

Stage 1 (see Fig.2):

Suspend the open grab on the crane and completely stretch out the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder.
The two-way valve of the control system is in the closed state.

Fig.2

SOLLY 5
SOLLY GRABS

Stage 2 (see Fig.3):

Move the open grab to the bulk pile, lower the crane rope. When the scoop of the grab stably contacts bulk
cargo, continuously lower the crane rope until the piston rod completely enters the hydraulic cylinder. In this process,
hydraulic oil in the rodless cavity of the hydraulic cylinder gradually rises under negative pressure of the rod cavity to
be sucked into the rod cavity, and excessive hydraulic oil is pressed into the oil tank. The two-way valve of the
control system is in the closed state.

Fig.3

SOLLY 6
SOLLY GRABS

Stage 3 (see Fig.4):

When the crane rope is lifted, the grab starts grabbing bulk cargo. Grabbing of bulk cargo is completed
when the grab scoops are closed. In this process, as the two-way valve of the control system is in the closed state,
hydraulic oil in the rod cavity of the hydraulic cylinder cannot flow out, therefore, the piston rod of the hydraulic
cylinder is locked.

Fig.4

SOLLY 7
SOLLY GRABS

Stage 4 (see Fig.5):

Continuously press the button of the remote control transmitter until the grab is opened and unloading is
completed. In this process, the remote control transmitter send the pulse signal to the remote control receiver in the
control system of the grab, the solenoid valve coil is energized under control of the remote control receiver. Then the
two-way valve can be opened, and hydraulic oil in the rod cavity of the hydraulic cylinder can flow into the oil tank
through the two-way valve. As the negative pressure in the rodless cavity of the hydraulic cylinder rises gradually,
hydraulic oil in the oil tank is sucked into the rodless cavity.
In the whole opening process, the grab will immediately stop opening when the button of the remote control
transmitter is released.
Next working cycle can be started when the above four stages are completed by the grab.

Fig.5

SOLLY 8
SOLLY GRABS
3.2 Electrical Working Principle
The electrical control system mainly consists of the remote control transmitter, remote control
receiver, battery, etc. The remote control receiver is in use for controlling the supply and cutoff of power of
the solenoid valve coil according to commands of the remote control transmitter (see Fig.6).
The remote control transmitter is powered up by three replaceable RO3/AAA batteries.
The remote control receiver and solenoid valve are powered up by one rechargeable battery in the grab.

16.1.1 Fault cause: there are foreign matters in synchronous teeth of scoops of the grab or the grab shell is
seriously deformed.
Troubleshooting: remove the included foreign maters or correct and replace the deformed part.
16.1.2 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.
16.1.3 Fault cause: the plug of the battery, remote control receiver or solenoid valve is loose.
Troubleshooting: pull and insert the plug again, and properly fasten the safety buckle or tighten the
fastening bolt.

cannot meet the requirements for normal operation of the remote control transmitter.
Troubleshooting: replace the battery of the remote control transmitter.
16.1.5 Fault cause: the battery in the grab is subject to serious power loss, and cannot meet the requirements
for normal operation of the remote control receiver or solenoid valve.
Troubleshooting: replace it with the backup battery or charge it.
16.1.6 Fault cause: the remote control is damaged.
Troubleshooting: replace the remote control.
16.1.7 Fault cause: the solenoid valve coil is damaged or the valve core is blocked.
Troubleshooting: replace the solenoid valve.
16.1.8 Fault cause: the core of the two-way is blocked.
Troubleshooting: if the problem cannot be solved by removing and cleaning the two-way valve,
replace the two-way valve.

16.2 Fault: the grab cannot be fully opened.

Description: when the button of the remote control transmitter is pressed, the closed grab cannot be
fully opened.
Fault causes and troubleshooting:
16.2.1 Fault cause: viscous substances picked by the grab cannot be discharged out of the grab scoops.
Troubleshooting: shovel away goods adhered to the grab scoops.
