Clamshell Buckets

Anvil Innovations clamshell buckets offer a range of capacities available to fit your material handling needs.

  • These units are built using a modular system that allows all capacities in each model to use the same center section, rotation, cylinders and head weldment. This creates lower cost and quicker deliveries on both new units and part orders.

  • Anvil’s single rope cable operated clamshell buckets are manufactured for use on ships gear cranes, overhead bridge cranes, or any crane not configured with separate holding and closing lines. These units are custom sized using your crane capacities, working limits (dimensions), and material weights.

  • Anvil’s two and three rope operated clamshell buckets are designed for cranes configured with one or two holding lines and one closing line. We offer a wide variety of products ranging from ship and barge unloading to environmental dredging.

  • Anvil’s four rope operated clamshell buckets are designed for cranes configured with dual holding and closing line operation. With a wide variety of products ranging from ship and barge unloading to petroleum coke handling, we have the right product to fit your requirements.

  • Our electro-hydraulic clamshell buckets are designed for cranes that have the capacity to supply power and/or control wires to the clamshell. These units are typically used for ships gear or overhead gantry cranes.

  • Anvil’s diesel hydraulic clamshell buckets are primarily designed for ships gear and shore cranes to unload barges or ships. These units are self-contained with radio remote control operation and do not require any capability to supply power and/or control wires to the clamshell.

  • Environmental Clamshell Buckets are designed for environmental dredging where a precise “level cut” is required. These buckets feature over-wide dimensions and a minimum depth of cut to only grab exactly what is required for the job.

Grapples

Anvil Innovations grapples are offered in several size/capacity options to best fit your material handler machine.

  • These units are separated by the number of tines each model offers. They are built using a modular system that allows all capacities in each model to use the same center section, rotation, cylinders and head weldment. This allows for lower costs and quicker deliveries on both new units and parts orders. This also allows for fewer stock parts for customers using multiple units of varying capacities.

  • Anvil’s single rope cable operated grapples are manufactured for use on ships gear cranes, overhead bridge cranes, or any crane not configured with separate holding and closing lines. These units are typically used for temporary projects where cranes are used primarily for other applications. These grapples are custom sized using your crane capacities, working limits (dimensions) and material weights.

  • Our two rope operated grapples are designed for any crane configured with holding and closing line operation. Anvil offers a wide variety of products ranging from ship and barge unloading to environmental projects requiring single stones to be placed.

  • Anvil’s four rope operated grapples are designed for cranes configured with dual holding and closing line operation. With a wide variety of products ranging from ship and barge unloading to waste handling, Anvil has the right product to fit your every need.

  • Our electro-hydraulic operated grapples are designed for cranes that have the capacity to supply power and/or control wires to the clamshell. These units are typically used for ships gear or overhead gantry cranes. Anvil offers a wide variety of products ranging from ship and barge unloading to waste handling.

  • Anvil’s diesel hydraulic operated grapples are primarily designed for ships gear and shore cranes to unload barges or ships. These units are self contained with radio remote control operation and do not require any capability to supply power and/or control wires to the grapple.
