The spreader plays a vital role in container loading and unloading. It can lift and transfer port containers together with the crane. It is one of the essential accessories of the port crane. The spreader play an important role in the container handling.
Connection and lifting: A special connection device connects the lifting device to the top corner fittings or other designated container parts. It can firmly grasp the container, and then lift the container with the help of the lifting mechanism of equipment such as a crane to achieve vertical displacement from the ground to the transport vehicle or from the transport vehicle to the ground, facilitating loading and unloading operations.
Positioning and alignment: The spreader is usually equipped with a positioning device and a guiding system, which can accurately align the container with the loading position of the transport vehicle (such as a ship, truck, railway truck, etc.). This ensures the container is accurately placed at the predetermined location, improves loading and unloading efficiency and accuracy, and reduces alignment time and possible deviations.
Adapt to different specifications: The spreader is designed with an adjustable structure to adapt to various sizes and types of containers, such as 20-foot, 40-foot, 45-foot, and containers of special specifications. Adjusting the size, span, and other parameters of the spreader allows it to flexibly grab and carry containers of different specifications, increasing the versatility and adaptability of loading and unloading equipment.
Ensure safety: The lifting equipment is equipped with reliable safety protection devices, such as locking devices, anti-dropping devices, etc., which can prevent the container from accidentally falling off during lifting and handling, ensure the safety of loading and unloading operations, and effectively avoid safety accidents and property losses caused by falling containers.
Improve loading and unloading efficiency: Efficient spreaders can quickly complete actions such as grabbing, lifting, transpo, and placing containers, reducing the loading and unloading time of a single container. This improves the container loading and unloading efficiency of the entire port, cargo yard, yard and other places, speeding up the turnover of goods and reducing logistics costs.
Reduce labor costs: Professional container spreaders can automatically connect to containers. No manual help is required for hooking and unhooking, which reduces labor costs and safety risks.
