Detailed Features and Specifications

Design and Build

• Hydraulic Separation: The hydraulic separation system allows each container to be lifted independently. This provides flexibility in handling different container sizes and weights. It also reduces wear and tear on both the crane and the spreader, ensuring longer equipment life and lower maintenance costs.
• Double-Box Spreader: The double-box design ensures that the load is evenly distributed during lifting. This helps to minimize stress on the crane, making operations smoother and more stable. By optimizing load distribution, it also reduces the risk of crane strain and equipment damage.
• High-Quality European Steel: Made from high-strength European steel, the spreader is both lightweight and extremely durable. The steel construction ensures the spreader can withstand demanding port operations while providing reliability and long-lasting performance.

Adjustable Center Clearance

• Dual Lift Mode Flexibility: The adjustable center clearance allows the spreader to lift two 20-foot containers simultaneously, even if they are not set to standard center clearance distances. This feature gives the spreader the flexibility to handle containers in non-standard positions or configurations, making it ideal for special lifting tasks or damaged containers.

Safety and Compliance

• EN13001 Compliance: The Twin Lift Container Spreader is compliant with EN13001, an international standard for crane and lifting equipment. This compliance ensures the spreader meets rigorous safety, reliability, and durability standards, providing peace of mind for operators and minimizing the risk of accidents.
• Hydraulic and Mechanical Safety Features: The spreader is equipped with several safety features, including overload protection and secure locking mechanisms. These safety systems help ensure safe lifting operations, preventing overload situations and ensuring secure container handling.

This section highlights the key features and specifications of the Twin Lift Container Spreader, focusing on its design, safety features, and versatility. Each feature is designed to enhance performance, flexibility, and safety in busy port environments.

Applications

The Twin Lift Container Spreader is primarily used for ship-to-shore container handling at ports and terminals. It is designed to handle 20-foot, 40-foot, and 2×20-foot containers with ease. This spreader is particularly valuable when lifting extra-heavy containers or damaged containers that may not align with standard lifting configurations. Its hydraulic separation system enables each box to lift independently, providing flexibility and precise control. This makes it ideal for handling containers that are irregularly positioned or require special attention, ensuring smooth and safe lifting operations.

Ideal for:

• Ship-to-Shore Cranes: The Twin Lift Container Spreader is designed specifically for use with ship-to-shore cranes. It is perfect for loading and unloading containers from large container ships. The dual-lift feature allows it to efficiently lift and move two containers at the same time, improving crane productivity and reducing operational time. Its adjustable center clearance ensures compatibility with containers that may not fit standard lifting configurations, which is a common challenge in busy port environments.
• Port and Terminal Operations: In port and terminal operations, the Twin Lift Container Spreader helps improve efficiency by handling a variety of container sizes and configurations. It is designed for high-volume, high-traffic environments, where fast, precise container handling is crucial. The spreader’s hydraulic system ensures smooth operation, even when dealing with heavy, oversized, or irregularly positioned containers. This capability helps speed up container storage and movement, leading to improved operational throughput.
• Heavy Load Lifting: The Twin Lift Container Spreader is built to handle heavy load lifting with ease. It can safely lift extra-heavy containers and damaged containers with uneven weight distribution. This makes it particularly useful in situations where containers have to be moved carefully due to structural issues or special handling requirements. Its robust construction, combined with the adjustable lifting system, ensures secure handling of even the most challenging loads.
