Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Automated storage/retrieval systems

German term or phrase: Fangzange

A checklist for use when inspecting an automated storage/retrieval system. Under the heading 'Hubantrieb' it says 'Sicht-Prüfung / Funktions-Test Fangzange'

From my research, I presume that this grasps hold of products/pallets and am wondering about just calling this a 'catch element' but does anyone know a proper English term for it?

gripper (element)

Explanation:
If you want to use the "element", that's okay; the word on its own was used in a warehouse in which I worked in the 1990s.
