EOT Grab Bucket Crane for bulk material handling.
A purpose-built electric overhead crane with a grab bucket mechanism for moving loose and bulk materials such as coal, sand, gravel, ore, limestone and gypsum. Dhiraj Cranes lists 5 T to 20 T capacity and span/operation up to 30 meters.
VIEW 01VIEW 02VIEW 03VIEW 04Designed for the material that ordinary hooks cannot handle efficiently.
Dhiraj Cranes describes its EOT Grab Bucket Crane as an electric overhead crane designed specifically for bulk and loose material handling. The grab bucket opens and closes to collect material and then transports it across the crane operating area.
The current product page specifies 5 T to 20 T capacity and operation up to 30 meters. It positions the crane for warehouses, construction sites, mining and cement plants, where repetitive movement of bulk materials is part of the operation.
The configuration can be customized around operational requirements, including crane arrangement, grab bucket requirements, control systems and other application-specific parameters.
Grab → Lift → Travel → Release
The grab bucket replaces a conventional lifting hook as the primary material-engaging mechanism. It is designed to collect loose material, lift it and move it to the required discharge point.

Single Girder EOT Grab Bucket Crane
The source product page describes this as a compact solution for light to medium-duty bulk material handling where a lighter configuration is suitable.
Compact handling focus →Double Girder EOT Grab Bucket Crane
The double-girder version is described as providing higher capacity and efficiency for heavier-duty applications requiring greater structural capability.
Heavy-duty handling focus →Made for materials that move in bulk.
The numbers at a glance.
These specifications follow the current Dhiraj Cranes product page. Final engineering values should be confirmed against the project requirement before manufacturing.

A simple cycle, engineered for repetition.
Move crane and bucket to the collection point.
Position the grab around the loose material.
Close the bucket and raise the material.
Move the load to the discharge area.
Open the bucket and discharge material.
Controlled movement matters.
The source product information emphasizes safety, precision, durability and reliable operation. A grab bucket crane should be engineered around the material, load characteristics, duty cycle, environment and travel path.
Confirm material type, bulk density, capacity, bucket configuration, lifting height, span, operating frequency, controls and structural conditions before finalizing the system.
Turn repetitive bulk handling into a defined process.
A dedicated grab bucket crane can create a consistent lifting and transfer process for loose materials while reducing reliance on manual handling.
Dhiraj positions its grab bucket cranes around durability, efficiency, customization, safety and low-maintenance operation.
From mining yards to cement plants.
Mining Areas
Bulk coal, ore and mineral handling.
Cement Plants
Limestone, gypsum and loose raw materials.
Power Plants
Bulk fuel and material-handling processes.
Steel Plants
Scrap, coal and bulk material handling.
Ports
Controlled overhead bulk material transfer.
Storage Yards
Movement between storage and processing points.
The bucket is only one part of the system.
A reliable grab bucket crane depends on the relationship between crane structure, hoisting arrangement, grab mechanism, travel system, controls and the material being handled.
The final configuration should be developed around the operating cycle and material characteristics rather than choosing a bucket size or crane capacity in isolation.
Project inputs to prepare
- Material type and bulk density
- Maximum required load
- Required span and lifting height
- Grab bucket capacity / configuration
- Operating cycle and frequency
- Indoor or outdoor environment
- Preferred control arrangement
- Structural provisions
From bulk-handling requirement to installed crane.
Start with the material and handling cycle, then develop the crane around capacity, span, grab arrangement, controls and site conditions.
Study material, load and process.
Define crane and grab arrangement.
Develop project-specific details.
Manufacture the crane system.
Installation, commissioning and after-sales needs.
Reliable bulk handling depends on planned care.
Routine inspection
Inspect structure, end carriages, wheels, hoisting mechanism, grab bucket, ropes/chains where applicable, brakes, motors, electrical components and controls according to documentation and the site maintenance program.
Unusual noise, vibration, visible damage or changed operating behaviour should be investigated before continued use.
Grab bucket care
The grab bucket directly contacts handled material. Moving parts, attachment points and wear areas should be inspected as part of the maintenance routine.
Intervals should follow supplied equipment documentation and applicable site requirements.
Is an EOT Grab Bucket Crane the right fit?
Consider one when:
- Material is loose or bulk in nature.
- Repetitive grabbing and transfer is required.
- Coal, sand, gravel, ore, limestone, gypsum or scrap is handled.
- The operation benefits from overhead travel.
- Manual bulk handling needs to be reduced.
Confirm before ordering:
- Material and bulk density.
- Maximum load and bucket capacity.
- Span, lifting height and travel path.
- Operating frequency and duty.
- Power and control requirements.
- Site and structural conditions.

Does it require high maintenance?
The product page lists low maintenance; actual requirements depend on duty, environment and configuration.
Engineering the handling system around the material.
The purpose of a grab bucket crane is not simply to lift. It is to create a repeatable bulk-material movement process. The right configuration depends on material, capacity, working area, cycle frequency, grab arrangement and environment.
Application Study
Understand material and handling frequency.
Capacity Planning
Match crane and grab configuration to duty.
Custom Design
Develop span, height, bucket and control arrangement.
Manufacturing
Prepare the system around engineering requirements.
Installation
Plan site installation and commissioning.
After-Sales
Support maintenance and service needs.
When the material is loose, the lifting system should be built around the material.
An EOT Grab Bucket Crane provides a dedicated overhead solution for repetitive bulk-material handling. With a grab bucket mechanism, electric operation and configurable crane architecture, it can be developed for applications where coal, sand, gravel, ore, limestone, gypsum, scrap and similar loose materials need to be moved efficiently.
The current Dhiraj product page lists 5 T to 20 T capacity and span/operation up to 30 meters. Final values and configuration should always be confirmed against the actual application and engineering requirement.
