Van Veen Grab, 24L, SST, Includes Crate

Lightweight yet large volume (24 L)
• Rubber flaps over vent screens
•
Self-releasing pinch-pin™ for safety
• 0.1 m2 (360 x 280 mm) sample area

• For soft bottoms

This lightweight large grab takes large samples
in soft bottoms. Its long lever arms and sharp cutting edges on the bottom of
the scoops allow it to cut deep into softer bottoms. The closing mechanism is
our patented self- releasing pinch-pin™ attached to the two closing arms which
holds the grab open before it hits the bottom. Upon impact, the tension on the
chains is released, which releases the pinch-pin™. The chain pulls the closing
arms together to close the scoops when the cable is lifted. The top of each
scoop is covered with 583 mm stainless steel screen for water to flow through
during descent. The screen is covered with a neoprene rubber flap to prevent
sample washout during retrieval. Operation requires 1/8" cable (61-B) and winch,
not included. Ship wt: 67 lbs.
