The pipe spreader has the power to handle a wide range of pipe lengths and diameters. The spreader is powered by an onboard diesel engine and operated from wireless remote controll.
Its four telescopic beams with end manipulators move along a longitudinal axis, enabling the spreader to handle pipes between 1150cm to 1300cm in length.
Lateral adjustments and removal of the central beams allow the crane operator to handle a variety of pipe diameters with ease - 4 x 14-16inch pipes / 3 x 19-35inch pipes or 2 x 36-60inch.
The spreader's mechanical sensing assemblies coupled with LED indicators reassure the crane operator that pipes are securely clamped and ready for hoisting.
Purpose-built padding rings located on the end manipulators and additional padding on each of the spreader's pipe contact points help prevent pipe damage during the handling process.
Monitoring sensor status and fault finding information is carried out via a diagnostic panel providing maintenance personnel troubleshooting information.
