A large construction company in Oman recently purchased a hydraulic grab bucket produced by YG for a port expansion project in the capital, Muscat. The customer’s needs were clear: Equipment was needed to efficiently handle mixed metal scraps and construction waste, and it was also suitable for 30-ton excavators. YG recommended a multi-petal lotus claw with an excavator hydraulic grab system and integrated the rotating grabs excavator function to achieve 360° precise grabbing. This solution helped customers increase material sorting efficiency by 50% under complex working conditions, shortened the project cycle by 3 months, and became a benchmark case for Oman port machinery upgrades.

Purchase process of excavator hydraulic grapple
The purchasing process of Omani customers is efficient and transparent:
- Demand Analysis: YG engineers remotely evaluate the port material type, excavator model, and operation objectives;
- Solution customization: Add anti-sand and dust sealing design to the rotating grabs excavator and optimize the claw tooth spacing;
- Trial verification: Provide equipment for 200 hours of continuous load testing at the Dubai test site;
- Logistics delivery: Ship from Ningbo Port, China, to Sohar Port by sea, with GPS tracking throughout the process;
- On-site training of YG technical team to guide the operation and maintenance of hydraulic grab buckets
- The customer project manager commented, “It took only 68 days from signing to production. YG’s standardized process far exceeds that of local suppliers.”
YG’s High-Quality hydraulic grab bucket
- Intelligent upgrade: Equipped with IoT sensors, it monitors oil temperature and pressure data in real time to prevent downtime;
- Modular design: excavator hydraulic grapple (excavator hydraulic grab bucket) can quickly replace claws or rotating modules to reduce maintenance costs;
- Localized adaptation: For Oman’s 50℃ high temperature environment, the hydraulic oil uses synthetic oil with a viscosity index of up to 180;
- Complete certification: Passed CE and ISO 13031 certification, in line with the Gulf countries’ engineering equipment access standards;
- Successful case: After using a rotating grabs excavator, Oman customers increased the daily waste processing capacity from 800 tons to 1,300 tons.
