TLF40 standard/inverted forks mounting

Top lift spreader

The Bromma TLF40 is a telescopic top lift spreader for the handling of single ISO and Binnen containers with masted lift trucks equipped with standard or inverted forks.

 
The spreader can adjust its length to lift containers from 20’ to 40’ using ISO floating twistlocks. Mechanical Pile Slope (MPS), slew and reach (optional) features enable easy location onto containers. Additional tilt and side shift are provided by the fork lift truck.

The TLF40 is designed with fork pockets to fit standard or inverted forks. The spreader is latched onto the heels of the forks by means of pivoting arms mechanically secured with pins. Slew and reach is optional: it is achieved by 2 hydraulic cylinders which connect the spreader and an intermediate forks frame fitted between the forks and the fork pockets mounted on sliding pads. Dedicated fork mounting ensure self leveling with containers lying on trailers with pile slope up to 5°. The telescopic spreader is of a monobeam frame construction designed to absorb both vertical and horizontal forces. Four ISO twistlocks engage the containers top apertures and lock into the corner castings. As standard, the spreader is equipped with 4 x 10 tonnes lifting lugs in the corners of the end beams for handling damaged containers or special cargoes.

The TLF40 is controlled with 24 VDC 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 TLF40 spreader achieves greater performances with lower tare weight, extended service intervals and longer likely replacement cycles. Available with several options, the Bromma TLF40 will enhance driver’s experience.
 

Major features:

  • Low tare weight for high performances
  • Minimized loss of load centre
  • Smooth control technology
  • 20’ to 40’ at maximum speed with dampening
  • Floating ISO twistlocks
  • ±3° slew / ±50 mm reach
  • ±5° MPS
  • Full CANopen bus integrated management
  • Longer service intervals
  • Light but robust thanks to well proven design for a long economic life
