MODEL 8100 FOR LOADED CONTAINER HANDLING FOR CRANES
Spreader Model 8100 is a 40 tonnes capacity telescopic rail mounted or rubber tyred gantry crane spreader designed to handle loaded ISO containers. It is renowned in the industry for its light weight, fast telescopic extension speed and the excellent visibility it allows onto containers, thanks to its proven rectangular box section design.
PROGRAMME The spreader described in this leaflet belongs to the series 8100: Telescopic spreaders for cranes. This series consists of the following spreader Models: 8100
The 8100 is fitted with ISO quick exchange floating twistlocks. It also features four hydraulically operated corner flippers. Twistlocks and sleeves are made out of forged steel. A mechanical safety device prevents accidental unlocking. The main structure is manufactured to DIN15018 classification H2B4, corresponding to two million load cycles. It extends from 20 to 40 ft. The extension beams slide on self lubricating wear strips. Tough rubber pads mounted between the beams and frame dampen shocks and help reduce noise. Each beam has an individual hydraulic extension cylinder. The three-point cylinder mounting absorbs shock loads from all directions. Rugged mechanical stops ensure that each telescopic position is maintained during the container handling operation. Two electric motor-and pump assemblies ensure simultaneous extension of both beams. In case of failure the spreader can be operated with a single motor/pump at a lower speed.
The ELME 8100 features standard safety systems such as blocked beam extension function as soon as the spreader is seated and/or locked. Besides the mechanical locking system, an eletrical safety prevents twistlock operation if all four corners are not properly seated. When an error occurs in the locking or unlocking procedure indication lights are flashing. No signals will be sent to the crane and therefore the hoist system can be safely blocked.

Control voltage from the crane is always converted to 24V DC for safety and reliability. In case of sensor failures, return signals flash to inform the crane driver of the corresponding problem.
