Telescopic container spreader
(for mobile harbour crane) ELME
8100TM: 20'-50'

The ELME Model 8100 TM is a heavy duty 40 ton capacity telescopic harbour or jib crane spreader, designed to handle loaded ISO containers. It is renowned in the industry for its strength, fast telescopic extension speed and the excellent visibility it allows onto containers. The 8100 TM is fitted with ISO quick exchange floating twistlocks. It also features 6 hydraulically operated side flippers. Twistlocks and sleeves are made out of forged steel. A mechanical safety device prevents accidental unlocking.

The extension beams slide on self lubricating wear strips. Tough rubber pads mounted between the beams and frame dampen shocks and help reduce noise. Each beam has an individual hydraulic extension cylinder. The three-points cylinder mounting absorbs shock loads from all directions. Two electric motor and pump assemblies ensure simultaneous extension of both beams.
Centre of gravity adjustment is +/- 800 mm. It can also be operated with the spreader under load. Maximum eccentricity positions are secured by the end-strokes of the centre of gravity adjustment cylinder.

The control voltage from the crane is always converted to 24V DC for safety and reliability. Return signals are transformed back to the crane's voltage. In case of sensor failures, return signals flash to inform the crane driver of the corresponding problem. The ELME 8100 TM features standard safety systems such as a blocked beam extension function as soon as the spreader is seated and/or locked. Besides the mechanical locking system, an electrical safety prevents twistlock operation if all 4 corners are not properly seated.
