ELME Spreader Model 818 INNOVATION WTP is the New Generation telescopic top lift spreader for handling of laden ISO, WTP and US-domestic containers weighing up to 45 tonnes. 818 INNOVATION WTP is designed for use under a gantry at the front of a lift truck.
INNOVATIVE DESIGN
INNOVATION’s new and improved design implies a New Generation 818 INNOVATION WTP spreader with the unique combination of increased structural strength and reduced weight.
The New Generation 818 INNOVATION WTP Spreader is estimated to have an increased life expectancy of 30 % related to fatigue resistance and standard load case conditions.
The reduced spreader weight enables improvements on the lift truck design. The New Generation design also implies numerous improvements to promote easier service.
GANTRY MOUNTING WITH MECHANICAL PILE SLOPE
Gantry mounting is used for lift trucks, dedicated to container handling only. Four telescopic hangers connect the spreader to the gantry. Gravity
assures the level position of the spreader. The hangers will allow the spreader to automatically adapt to containers on trailers or on uneven ground.
TELESCOPING, SLEW, REACH AND SIDESHIFT SYSTEM
Telescoping is powered by one hydraulic cylinder for each end beam and sideshift is executed by one hydraulic cylinder. The slew and reach motions are possible thanks to two hydraulic cylinders that connect the spreader to the gantry. By powering either one or both cylinders, the slew and reach functions are activated.
WTP-SYSTEM
The WTP option built into the spreader endbeams allows the operator to hydraulically change the twistlock positions to handle ISO and US-domestic containers as well as WTP containers.
