SLV40 with vertical twistlocks

Side lift spreader

 

The Bromma SLV40 is a telescopic side lift spreader for the rapid handling of single 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 SLV40 - 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 twistlocks has been optimized.

The spreader can adjust its length to lift empty containers from 20’ to 40’ with a height from 8’ to 9’6” and a width from 8’ to 2500mm (Binnen containers) using ISO twistlocks. Mechanical Pile Slope (MPS) and side shift features enable easy location onto containers.

The telescopic spreader is of a low height monobeam frame construction which is shorter than the containers. Its specific design offers better visibility to position easily and rapidly the twistlocks heads onto the containers, which will remain accessible even when they are fully block-stacked. 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 ISO twistlocks engage the containers top apertures and lock into the top corner castings. A mechanical and electrical safety system prevents the locking and release of the twistlocks if the spreader is not correctly positioned against the container.

The SLV40 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 SLV40 spreader achieves greater performances with low tare weight, extended service intervals and longer likely replacement cycles. Available with several options, the Bromma SLV40 will enhance driver’s experience for a maximum productivity.
