The Timars OHA-frame is a fully automatic overheight spreader which has been developed in order to assist operators with the most safe and efficient handling of oversized goods; like flats, bolsters and open top containers.
The OHA-frame is attached under any parent spreader with ISO standard base measure, by the twistlocks of the parent spreader only, and acts as "extended legs" to the parent spreader. This means a much safer and faster than handling goods with chains. No adjustments or additional equipment is needed on the parent spreader for attaching or deattaching the Timars OHA-frame. No external power supply or hydraulics is needed neither for attaching nor in operation. The locking of the twistlocks of the Timars OHA-frame is pure mechanical design and works on gravity and lift principle, which means that locking and unlocking of the twistlocks is made by lifting the overheight spreader. This leads to less down-time, operational advantages such as Timars OHA is not depending of pressure on the parent twistlocks or malfunction in a hydraulic system due to temperate differences. This of course also has brought down the maintenance time and costs to a minimum.
Compability
The Timars OHA frame is fully compatible to any kind of parent spreader of ISO box base measures within 20-45ft length. All four twistlocks must be used when operating the OHA. Parent spreader must be allowed to telescope with locked twistlocks.
