SLC40T twinlift side spreader with hooks & side clamps

Side lift spreader

The Bromma SLC40T is a telescopic twinlift side spreader for the simultaneous and rapid handling of two ISO empty containers with masted lift trucks.

 
The industry must innovate to address container handling demand and this is just what Bromma did with the SLC40 - it is set to revolutionize the way drivers operate with the spreader increasing efficiency and productivity for a minimized total cost of ownership. The visual contact with the stack, container corners and hooks has been optimized.

The spreader can adjust its length to lift empty containers from 20’ to 40’ using hooks and side clamps with hydraulic blocking. Powered Pile Slope (PPS) and side shift features enable easy location on the containers.

The telescopic spreader is of a low height monobeam frame construction providing better visibility to position easily and rapidly the hooks into the corner castings of the container. Both the spreader and the side shift carriage are designed to be optimally integrated into the lifting mast with high strength roller bearings (optional) and to minimize the Loss of Load Centre (LLC) Two hooks engage the bottom container top side apertures and safety lashing clamps lock into the side corner castings of both containers. In addition to the side clamps position monitoring, a combination of mechanical sensing pins and electrical container detection sensors ensure maximum safety during handling operation, either with one or two containers.

The SLC40T is controlled with 24 V DC solenoid operated valves and inductive proximity sensors. The electrical system is designed to ensure maximum safety during operation. All motions of the spreader are controlled from the driver’s cab over serial communication (CANopen) or parallel wiring (optional) and all commands are processed safely by the spreader Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Lifting allowance is monitored by the ECU and implemented on the lift truck to ensure safe container handling. In addition, the onboard ECU offers self-diagnostic technology, derived from Bromma’s innovative SCS³ crane spreader control system.

Made of high quality steel and components, the SLC40T spreader achieves greater performances with low tare weight, extended service intervals and longer likely replacement cycles. Available with several options, the Bromma SLC40T will enhance driver’s experience for a maximum productivity.
