The TGS Salvage grab is reported to be the only one of this type in the world with four independent claws of 250 Mt each and a total pinch force of 1,000 Mt. Its lifting capacity reaches more than 1,000 Mt. This grab is built out of the latest high tense steels in order to achieve a super light empty weight of 165 Mt.


The grab operates on a sheer legs crane or any other type of lifting crane. This giant machine is equipped with four heavy duty hydraulic cylinders to open and close the claws.


The cylinders are actuated by means of subsea diesel-hydraulic power pack mounted on deck via an constant tension hose reel. The control can be done by radio remote.


This salvage grab is multifunctional built and can be used with four or two gripping jaws. Transportation is possible in containers by ship or by air.
