At the bustling docks of Kandla Port, Gujarat, efficient cargo handling is the lifeline of daily port operations. One of the most innovative and game-changing solutions in bulk material handling is the Radio Remote Control Grab—a modern mechanical grab that offers wireless control and unmatched operational efficiency.

🚀 What Is a Radio Remote Control Grab?

A Radio Remote Control Grab (RRC Grab) is a self-contained grab that opens and closes using a radio signal sent from a handheld transmitter. It does not require any external power supply or cable connection to the crane. The grab is suspended from a single hook crane and controlled wirelessly by an operator on the ground or within the crane cabin.

⚙️ Key Benefits of Inline Operation at Ports:

At Kandla Port, this grab system has been implemented for inline operation, where materials are directly transferred from the vessel to hoppers or conveyors without intermediate dumping. This significantly reduces material spillage, handling time, and operational costs.

✅ Advantages:

Wireless Operation: No electric cables or hydraulics required
Time-Saving: Faster cycle time compared to conventional grabs
Safety: Operator can remain at a safe distance
Versatility: Suitable for coal, fertilizer, cement clinker, sand, and more
Low Maintenance: Simple mechanical and electrical systems
Efficiency: Inline discharge ensures faster unloading and cleaner docks

🏭 Real-World Use Case at Kandla Port

In our latest deployment, the Servoday-manufactured RRC Grab efficiently handled bulk fertilizer unloading from cargo vessels using a single hook crane. The grab was directly discharging into hoppers in inline operation mode, eliminating the need for an intermediate stockpile. This not only saved valuable port space but also enhanced environmental cleanliness and reduced labor fatigue.
