Container spreader
(for mobile harbour crane) ELME
3200: 20'

Spreader Model 3200 is a non telescopic top spreader for the handling of loaded 20ft ISO containers. It is designed to be mounted on cranes. The basic concept of this type ofspreader has been used by ELME sincemany years and offers distinct advantages such as:
- beam sections dimensioned to absorb not only the vertical, but also the very considerable horizontal forces
- pendular type of twistlocks, allowing 10 mm movement in 360º. They are produced from 42CrM04 forged and hardened steel and are extremely easy to service.

The main frame and end beams are each made of rugged, rectangular box sections. The end beams which incorporate the twistlock systems are welded to the central frame. They are positioned to support and absorb horizontal and vertical shockloads. The mounting of the spreader is customised to fit the head block of the crane. Spreaders are able to operate safely with list, skew and trim.

CONTROL AND SAFETY SYSTEM
Electrical systems monitor the state of the spreader at all times.Indicator lights advise the operator when the spreader is correctly "seated", "locked" or "not locked" and each signal is a precondition for the important safety functions of the spreader such as twistlock activation, extension and retraction and lift interrupt. When an error occurs in the locking or unlocking procedure, indication lights are flashing. No signals will be sent to the crane and therefore the hoist system can be safely blocked.
