Evolution of Bulk Handling SmartGrip®

Mode of Operation SmartGrip operates as an intelligent system which optimises grab filling rates in a self-learning manner and has the potential to increase bulk turnover significantly. Test and analysis in the field have shown an average grab filling rate of 70%. SmartGrip utilizes the remaining 30%. Without any driver interaction the algorithm learns the machine setting and material properties autonomous within the first five lifts. In operation, the self-learning system automatically adjusts its behaviour by recognizing bulk density, compression and granularity as well as current frame conditions...

SmartGrip® Benefits Turnover The intelligent SmartGrip grabbing technology revolutionises bulk handling in ports. The self-learning system improves the material handling performance. The handling rate can be increased by up to 30% as the system utilises the grabber capacity in full.
