Telescopic container spreader
(for ship-to-shore crane) ELME
8200: 20'-40'

Spreader Model 8200 is 45 tonnes capacity telescopic quayside crane spreader designed to handle loaded ISO containers. It is renowned in the industry for its rugged design, fast telescopic extension speed and the excellent visibility it allows onto containers, thanks to its proven rectangular box section design. The 8200 is fitted with ISO quick exchange floating twistlocks. It also features four hydraulically operated corner flippers. Twistlocks and sleeves are made out of forged steel. A mechanical safety device prevents accidental unlocking. It extends from 20 to 40 ft.

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-point cylinder mounting absorbs shock loads from all directions. Rugged mechanical stops ensure that each telescopic position is maintained during the container handling operation. Two electric motor-and pump assemblies ensure simultaneous extension of both beams.

Control voltage from the crane is always converted to 24VDC for safety and reliability. The ELME 8200 features standard safety systems such as blocked beam extension function as soon as the spreader is seated and/or locked. Besides the mechanical locking system, an eletrical safety prevents twistlock operation if all four corners are not properly seated. 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.
