Grabs for Bulk Handling made in Germany The company was founded in 1972 as an engineer office and consulting company, specialized in constructions of grabs (main business) and nearly all kind of bulk handling equipment. In the beginning was only construction and sales. The manufacturing of all appliances took place at well known companies in Northern Germany. In 1985 an own workshop was founded and since that time the company is named ORTS GmbH Maschinenfabrik. Worldwide unique special constructions are e.g. a swimming oil- salvage grab for recovering row-oil from the water- surface (after ship- accidents).
