Default Re: Clamshell Bucket Build

FB,

all great ideas! For now I'm going to rig it on the Menck crane. My primary mission for the clam is to unload sand from the barges, but i also wanted to have a dedicated dredge operation.

I may need to build another clam, buy and convert another crane, and I am still pondering the idea of some type of custom unloading crane for the unloading area. I'm thinking some form of a trolley style crane that would be cantilever out over the water/barge and trolley back over the stock pile.

Jim
