THE POWER OF REPUTATION

After success at Natrios, Fullport contacted us by referral: "We heard about the work on Natrios' grab. We have 3 grabs that need complete maintenance."

DIAGNOSIS

Grab 9m³: Never had preventive maintenance
Grab 12m³: Never had preventive maintenance
Grab 15m³: Never had preventive maintenance

All with critical wear, imminent risk of catastrophic failure.

COMPLEX LOGISTICS

Transporting 3 bulky grabs from Santa Catarina to São Sebastião (~1,700km) required special trailers and coordination of local traffic.

EXECUTION

3 SIMULTANEOUS TEAMS - one dedicated to each grab:

Each grab underwent:

• Complete disassembly
• Structural recovery
• Replacements (cables, pins, bushes, cylinders, hoses)
• Blasting and painting
• Complete testing

ASSISTED OPERATION

After refurbishment, our team traveled to Santa Catarina with each grab, monitored the first days of operation, ensuring success.

RESULTS

✅ 6 months (2 months/grab with overlap)
✅ Zero accidents
✅ 100% tested and approved
✅ Assisted operation - total success
✅ Client returned 3 years later (Nov/2025)
