Receive VLI Pecém case study
Paulo Ribeiro, Spec. Port. Operations Technician at VLI Pecém:
“ We changed the whole concept of the harbour. And because we weren't just looking for a product but a complete solution, we did a lot of market research.
We understood that to achieve the highest productivity, we needed to look for a high-quality grab solution that enabled us to use the cranes at their full capacity.
With a poorly performing grab, the crane’s potential is lost.”
To reach that potential VLI Pecém did extensive market research. And they bought not one, but THREE grabs. Increasing their productivity with every purchase.

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.
