Features & Specifications

How the Quick Release Link connects everything

The most reliable, fastest and safest way to connect your lifting equipment. The Nemag Quick Release Link is developed to enable quick and straightforward coupling and uncoupling of grabs on cranes.

Product-Feature-Placeholder-V2-01

Quick and safe

Our patented Quick Release Link is designed to increase the productivity and safety of your organization. The C-section, locking piece and a hexagonal key design guaranteeing a quick change over.

Product-Feature-Placeholder-V2-02

Long lifespan

To be able to guarantee you a long lifespan under the most severe working conditions, our Quick Release Links are made of special durable steel. The contact surfaces of the C-section have been hardened and the sealed locking piece is well protected against damage and dirt.

Product-Feature-Placeholder-V2-03

Fully certified

The Quick Release Links are fully certified before leaving the factory and upon your request available with L.R.S. or A.B.S. certificate.

 

Additional features & specifications

Advantages of the Quick Release Link
  • The Nemag Quick Release Link is fitted to Nemag grabs as standard, and is in addition also suitable for grabs from other manufacturers. 

  • The ingenious locking system has been balanced and perfected to become the most reliable, quickest and safest coupling method for ropes and chains.

  • It contributes to the efficiency of bulk handling, because the grabs can be changed in no time using the Nemag Quick Release Link and Rope Pear Socket. This guarantees optimal productivity of the crane. (4-rope grabs for a 40 ton crane can, for example, be changed in 10 minutes by one person).

  • The contact surfaces of the C-section have been hardened, which considerably lengthens the life span.

  • The Nemag Quick Release Link stands out because of its great userfriendliness and extremely quick functioning.

  • The quality and safe functioning of the Nemag Quick Release Link is checked continuously through internal procedures.
Quality Assurance

Built to perform
Proven before it ships

Engineered. Tested. Documented. Every grab is verified against documented standards before it leaves our workshop. From simulation and material selection to final inspection, performance is validated before it reaches your terminal.

Product-Feature-Placeholder-04-1

Designed for heavy duty, verified in simulation

Before production begins, geometry, load paths, and structural behavior are analyzed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Critical wear zones are reinforced and material choices are validated to ensure durability in demanding bulk applications.

Product-Feature-Placeholder-05-1

Everything quality build – all the way from plate to paint

From CNC-cut plates to qualified welding and final assembly, each grab is produced under documented procedures. Material traceability and in-process checks ensure consistent build quality at every stage.

Product-Feature-Placeholder-06-1

Inspected and documented before it ships

Every grab undergoes a structured 60-point inspection during manufacturing and final acceptance testing. Dimensions, weld quality, and functional performance are verified and recorded before shipment.

Service & Maintenance

Keep your operation on schedule.

Planned inspections, clear maintenance guidance, and fast technical support help you avoid unplanned downtime. From commissioning to long-term operation, Nemag supports the performance of your grab throughout its entire lifecycle.

Product-Feature-Placeholder-V4-08

Lifecycle support from day one

A grab is a complex piece of equipment that cannot simply be sent back to the factory when questions arise. That is why Nemag supports customers on-site and remotely with practical guidance, troubleshooting, and operator training.

From start-up and commissioning to performance optimization and wear assessment, our engineers help ensure your grab operates as intended in real-world conditions.

Product-Feature-Placeholder-Double-V2
Product-S&M-Placeholder

Service & maintenance

From commissioning to years of operation, we support our customers throughout the full lifecycle of the grab. Our service teams provide technical assistance, inspections, and guidance whenever needed, helping operators keep performance predictable over time.

Service & maintenance
Product-SP-Placeholder

Spare parts availability

All spare parts remain available throughout the entire lifetime of the grab. This ensures repairs, replacements, and upgrades can be carried out without uncertainty, even many years after delivery.

Documentation & guidance

Each grab is delivered with comprehensive manuals, inspection guidelines, and welding instructions. Combined with the manufacturing data book, this documentation provides full transparency and supports safe operation, maintenance, and repairs.

Documentation & guidance

Grab selection can be hard

Selecting the right grab and ensuring you got all the information for your team can be a challenge. Most common questions are listed below, still need help then contact us.
Safety and compliance accountability for Nemag equipment?

Our grabs are designed to help reduce risk through engineering details (e.g., accessible harness points, smooth/flush contours), and are validated with documented processes (e.g., 60-point inspections, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001 certificates, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) summaries, proof-load testing).

Safe operation always depends on trained personnel, correct procedures, and the crane/terminal’s own safety policies.

Maintenance and lead time on spare parts?

Planned inspections at regular cycle intervals (e.g., basic checks around 10 000 cycles; deeper inspections around 100 000 cycles) are recommended by Nemag.

Wear parts and kits are available and can be delivered with your purchase.

Typical dispatch target for stocked parts is under 48 hours to keep downtime low.
