The spreader insurance policy
Bromma’s TTDS technology enables a crane operator to detect a gap between two twenty-foot containers in a forty foot ship cell - a very real risk and a potentially dangerous lifting situation. The technology revolves around seven photoelectric sensors. Five sensors, located in the center of the system, are used to detect a gap. The two outer sensors, along with two sensors in the center cluster, are used to detect the existence of the containers.
The “costs” associated with a twin-twenty accident can be high:
The “costs” associated with a twin-twenty accident can be high:
- Accident damage to containers and the spreader.
- Resulting damage to the container ship, with a subsequent delay in the shipping schedule.
- Financial damages due to loss or breakage of the customer’s container contents.
- Risk of possible injury.
- Risk of legal liability damages.
While other spreader manufacturers have offered mechanical solutions, Bromma was first-to-market, and is still unique today, in its use of a seven photo-electric sensor, solid-state design architecture for twin-twenty condition detection.
