Telescopic container spreader (for loaded container handler)
TLF40 BROMMA

Top Lift spreaders:

The spreader can adjust its length to lift containers from 20' to 40' using ISO floating twistlocks. Mechanical Pile Slope (MPS), slew and reach (optional) features enable easy location onto containers. Additional tilt and side shift are provided by the fork lift truck.

The TLF40 is designed with fork pockets to fit standard or inverted forks. The spreader is latched onto the heels of the forks by means of pivoting arms mechanically secured with pins. Slew and reach is optional: it is achieved by 2 hydraulic cylinders which connect the spreader and an intermediate forks frame fitted between the forks and the fork pockets mounted on sliding pads. Dedicated fork mounting ensure self leveling with containers lying on trailers with pile slope up to 5°. The telescopic spreader is of a monobeam frame construction designed to absorb both vertical and horizontal forces. Four ISO twistlocks engage the containers top apertures and lock into the corner castings. As standard, the spreader is equipped with 4 x 10 tonnes lifting lugs in the corners of the end beams for handling damaged containers or special cargoes.

The TLF40 is controlled with 24 VDC solenoid operated valves and inductive proximity sensors. The electrical system is designed to ensure maximum safety during operation. All motions of the spreader are controlled from the driver's cab over serial communication (CANopen) or parallel wiring (optional) and all commands are processed safely by the spreader Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
