The container spreader of a
quay container crane is the "hand" that directly contacts the container with the quay crane. The core function of the spreader is to safely, quickly, and accurately grab, move, and release containers.
Advantages of Weihua Container Spreader
1. Rapid Size Adaptation:
Through a telescopic mechanism, the spreader length can automatically adjust within seconds to accommodate different container sizes such as 20-foot, 40-foot, and 45-foot, eliminating the need for manual spreader changes.
2. Group Lifting:
A dual-container spreader can simultaneously lift two 20-foot containers, a key technology that doubles the efficiency of modern quay cranes.
3. Reduced Auxiliary Time:
Guide plates or vision systems guide the spreader to quickly and accurately align with the container, significantly reducing the time the operator spends manually aligning the container, especially when the ship is rocking.
Price of container spreader
The
price of container spreaders varies greatly because it is influenced by several core factors, including type, configuration, technology, brand, and market. Container spreader purchasers can provide the required container spreader parameters, such as: single or double container type, whether telescopic functionality is required, and the spreader's drive method.
