Features

• Zinc plated steel to prevent corrosion
• Large volume and sampling area
• Tapered scoop edges
• Safety pin lock
• Clamshell pivot
This is a deliberately heavy device for biting deep into hard bottoms and can hold up to 8 removable weights. Vent holes permit water to flow through while the grab is lowered, minimising diagonal movement and reducing the frontal shock wave. Jaws close clamshell- fashion. A safety-pin latch prevents the scoops from closing to help prevent injury. The bayonet-style trip mechanism is designed to release only when the sampler is on the bottom and the cable is slack. Operation requires winch and crane due to the working weight.
