The grabber I made is designed to lift my 6 wide piggyback trailers
as seen on my webpage. (it will also lift 4 wide trailers).
It uses L shaped 2x2 plates in the 4 holes of the red grabber.
Attached to the outside of the plates is a 8x1 block. On the
ends are a 2x1 plate hinge. These are angled at 90 degress
down to which is fitted a 8x1 plate. On the inside end of the
plate is a 1x1 round plate. These fit automatically under the
trailer body when it reaches the bottom of the trailer sides.
The overhead crane matches the 4555 crane but uses 2
yellow ends rather than the red building.
I will try and get some photos of it soon.
