From Challenge to Conquest: SMT Shipping’s Journey to a 25% Productivity Boost
With revenue calculated per ton, the goal for SMT Shipping is clear. “We need to optimize the continuous cargo transfer process to maximize our profit.”
But they faced a challenge. SMT Shipping changed their cargo from bauxite to iron ore and they already had 3 grabs on their transshipment vessel.
Would it be wise to buy a new grab? Are they leaving money on the table?
They already experienced Nemag’s craftsmanship with their scissors grab purchase. But this grab type and size wasn’t optimal for handling the heavier iron ore.

Discover how SMT increased their productivity with 25% and how this resulted in a return on investment period of only 70 days.
Learn how even shaving off a mere second during the transfer process could lead to big amounts in annual revenue gains.
Read how the partnership between SMT and Nemag strengthened while building the most optimal grab, adjusted to SMT’s custom improvements.
Making the right decision on the best grab combination helps to bring your operation to the next level.

How NemaX® moves more
From faster closing to less lubrication and longer wear life—explore the features that add up in the long run.
Built for throughput
Wider opening, lower dead-weight, and an optimised closing mechanism that turn every cycle into more payload and shorter cycles.
Lightweight and strong
Extremely torsion resistant with high closing force on lip plates made to last 2x longer through wear-resistant 450 HB steel
Lower maintenance
The NemaX® has fewer rotational points, thus fewer failure points and through its centralized greasing systems overall less service time.
Additional features & specifications

This graph shows how unloading productivity increases with the NemaX opposed to a clamshell grab.
Because NemaX® carries less dead-weight, more of your crane’s capacity goes into payload and penetration—so the grab bites deeper on every first pass. Combine that with a shorter open/close cycle and you get more productive bites per hour. The wide footprint and high stability (low center of gravity, fewer rocking moments) keep those bites consistent longer, delaying bulldozer assistance and leaving a flatter floor. Net result: a shorter clean-up phase, faster hatch turnarounds, and lower demurrage—cycle after cycle.
