Container spreader
(for mobile harbour crane) ELME
3400: 40'

Spreader Model 3400 is a non telescopic top spreader for the handling of loaded 40ft ISO containers. It is designed tobe mounted on cranes. The basic concept of this type of spreader has been used by ELME since many 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 shock loads. 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.
