The AGD Grab Unloader allows easy access to all maintenance points and locations, which make maintenance easier. Low operating costs, low energy consumption per unloaded ton, and low rope consumption make the AGD an affordable option for bulk material handling. These benefits lead to high availability and decreased downtime.

Because there is less rope to work, changing the ropes is easier and more efficient than conventional designs. The efficient rope reeving design and advanced AGD control system provide trouble-free operation and ease of maintenance. The result is less operational problems, less maintenance, and better availability.
